Description
John Joy (1809-1878) used this pitch pipe while leading the Baptist Church choir in South Limington. Blowing through the small whistle sets the pitch and helps musicians tune their instruments and voices to the correct note. This pitch pipe has letters signifying different musical notes marked at the top, and by twisting the middle of the cylinder the conductor can reach the desired pitch.
