Baritone - Bluetooth Sound Machine (Bluetooth Speaker)
Baritone - J. Higham, Manchester England
Circa: 1899 (Very Rare)
Joseph Higham was an English instrument manufacturer who established a workshop in 1842 in Manchester, England. His workshop supplied instruments to the army and navy, and also for export. By 1893 the firm advertised as having produced over 46,000 instruments. His workshop employed over 90 workers in the late-19th century.
The patina on this Baritone is the original and has been accruing for 125 years. I decided to keep the patina instead of removing it and keeping it natural. I have sprayed 2 coats of clear lacquer on it to protect it. It would be wonderful to have known the people and countries that this instrument has experienced.
The entire copper base has been rapped around the instrument (to keep the original in tact) and the copper spirals have been meticulously attached with strong hot glue. The speaker sits on a leather cup inside the bell , under the large copper spiral and the sound is unbelievable.
This creation is outstanding and is a conversation piece and show stopper.
This item is AVAILABLE for purchase.

Baritone - -Silver Plate with Copper
The Baritone is attached to a large copper spiral base that wraps around the instrument and has multiple copper spirals coming out in various places. The top of the instrument, where the speaker sits, has many copper spirals shooting out like a large vase of flowers. This creation is outstanding and is a conversation piece and show stopper.
