It's a fife!

[SpazzyAsian]

2 people obviously can't play the fife.

[hmoy24677]

Nice job! I'm learning fife myself. You have a good sound!

[cindyrules33]

i have a fife too! :)

[opoqu]

Amazing and beautiful!

[krzypilot13]

Thanks for your fife demo. I am considering a Sweet made fife as soon as I get better with my beginner plastic one.

[lucasroupanova]

Você é muito bonita e toca muito bem!

[Ldizzle64]

It looks like a magic wand! :D

[TheBeautifulPsyco]

I just got a fife. It's pretty swell. Mines not fancy or anything...i got it when I went to a battle reenactment. But anyway. (:

[9Iron1982]

Well done. type Lambeg Drum and fife in youtube. you will get alot of vidoes from N.Ireland. They are played at a higher pitch over here. its hard to blow them. I know!!

Keep it up. Look for a fife song called.. 'Gold In Every Pocket' its a traditional irish jig

[necronomicon191080]

oh i love your music! excelent!

[sweeetfran1]

beautiful!..my baby was dancing n_n he loves that so much..!

[JosMorn1]

It's not so often I hear a fife I made being played low in the manner of a flute, but you do it quite nicely.

[raonipaes]

Amazing sound...my fife is smaller (yamaha half fife)... I think I should move on to an Irish Flute

[Albywho]

I started cheering when you finished the first bit.

[simdiodegilde]

Yerim lan seni!

[thevickizzz]

Do you blow in it as the same way as you do in a flute?

[88atomic]

yea...well Leplace lets you aproximate integrals you couldn't normally take : p

[3rdDerivative]

jerk. third derivatives are awesome.

[MichaelRS58]

I can not get a dang note outta my new plastic fife. And suggestions? No instructors in my are

a( Orange County, California)

[3rdDerivative]

yeah, it does take a while to figure it out. I'd suggest searching for "flute embouchure" vids on youtube.

[acsuperman3]

where do you get the music

[soliv27]

I like the sort of glissando you make while opening or closing softly your fingers.

Beautiful fife... Very cute player.

[office888]

Lovely.  =)

[JoieZReign]

TY! applause!!

[benny7101]

i got mine from mt vernon..haha. :)

[unfrozenqueen]

wonderful thank you for sharing it !

[yuuichikamikaze]

I have that type of fife.

[darkdrak290]

verry good! can you make a tutorial on the first song you played? and what is the name of it?

[3rdDerivative]

I think it goes by St. Patrick's An Dro. search for "Carlos Nuñez - Andro " ...it's in a different key, but he plays it beautifully

[Anna100l]

This is very beautiful and inspiring! I've started learning this instrument a few days ago, though mine's only a cheap plastic one, not such a beautiful one as yours! X)

Thanks for playing for us, I'm subscribing!

[MartinRaetzJr]

Very nice!

[pieRR50XD]

pls i need this tabuklature. I want learn this sound :D

[lozer13]

That has a beautiful sound to it. The wooden flute (or fifes) always have such a cooler sound than the metal ones have. With a little more practice thats going to sound so beautiful, keep up with that :)

[thedeem0N]

HAHAHAHA!! "Seriously, That is a SWEET Fife Though!!!" (that was a quote originally by Rachel Dratch playing the character "Denise 'Zazu' McDonough" on the episode of Saturday night live that originally aired on May 13, 2000 - Brittney Spears was Hosting & during the "Boston Teens" [Sully & Zazu] When Sully's Friend 'Tommy' (Horatio Sanz) missed the bus back to their High School during a field trip to Old Sturbridge Village cuz he was in the Gift Shop buying a Fife for Mothers Day)

[EasyBakeSmiles]

is it the same fingering as a piccolo/flute? if so im so interested in getting one! :D

[NyaaNyaaSquigglyEmo]

Can you tell me where you got yours? I used to be in a marching band and I miss my fife.. Though, it was made of metal..and was completely silver. u_u

[3rdDerivative]

larkinam(dot)com

[tahnsha]

are the fingerings for that the same as that of a flute?

[3rdDerivative]

yep!

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

how much did you pay for that fife? xD

[3rdDerivative]

80 plus 15 shipping, from Lark in the Morning

[NeverMindBird]

I love Lark in the Morning!

[WoodenFluteChile]

The first tune is a Breton An Dro in 2/4 ..

[pipurrcat]

may i ask what the name of the song is?

it sounds pretty, cause i wanted to learn it too.

[3rdDerivative]

hmm...I played snippets of a couple songs actually. what's the time for the one you like?

[pipurrcat]

well i think i actually might know what the first one was, but im not quite sure what the other ones were.

[3rdDerivative]

1:14 is Morrigan, 2:06 is Polska-Sava, from Ulli and PJ's channel.

[pipurrcat]

thanks!

[kyleismrsmiley]

Ah so this is what Ralph Sweet's works sounds like. Yay! thank you so much for the video! Yours is the only one I've found by this maker!

Nice playing as well. :D

[musikplayer610]

what model is your fife? Bb cooperman?

[3rdDerivative]

It's a C. Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten a Bb, since that's what everyone else seems to have :-P But I like it because it's keyless.

[musikplayer610]

lol all fifes are keyless but C's are good. Bb is more traditional, in my opinion. Other fifers say they love the key of G, D and A, but that's just them lol

[3rdDerivative]

oh sorry, I was referring to a Bb flute, which flute and drum bands usually play.

[KrisShred]

B34U71FUL :-)

[tinwhistler4]

is this like indian music or something

[3rdDerivative]

No.

[Medjaiprincess]

Is the fingerings the same on that flute, as a "normal" flute?

[3rdDerivative]

As in a normal keyless flute? Yes.

[UGFB]

You should try to get your hands on a Bb Flute like the ones in my videos plenty of rhytmic tunes to be learn't

[3rdDerivative]

Yes, hopefully in the not too distant future. I really like that scale because the C dorian mode sounds really haunting.

[4nt1c1t1zen0ne]

Really beautyful!

is it too hard to play this kind of flute???

[3rdDerivative]

The only difficult part is figuring out how to purse your lips in just the right way to direct the air into the bore. It took me a day with this fife, though when I was in seventh grade learning the flute for the first time, it took me almost a month :-P

[4nt1c1t1zen0ne]

Uh! Thanks for the answer!

:)

[piriajeoshi]

Very nice playing! I enjoyed listening to that. The fife looks to have been a wise purchase for you. So how many instruments do you have at present?

[3rdDerivative]

Thanks! Yes, I really love this fife. It's a nice change to be able to do irish ornamentation on a transverse. Challenging too...I'm not used to my fingers coming in at such a sharp angle, so I think it will be a while before the rolls and cuts become fluid. Trills are my best thing right now.

[3rdDerivative]

Seven :)

[chansherly212]

wow that's great!! such a lovely sound!!

[livinginthepast3]

Looks like all your coaxing is paying off. Well done!

[Momotombos]

Oh god, where did you get it? It looks expensive :< I wanted to get one of the Dixon whistles with the interchangeable head so I could have a whistle and a fife-type thing at the same time. That one sounds really nice :3

[3rdDerivative]

It's from Lark in the Morning. It does cost a pretty penny (lots and lots of pennies, really) but I decided to indulge since I had that gift certificate they gave me last summer for the contest.
