This video clip is of myself playing the fife out of boredom and to share with any youtubers that care to view a fife clip and maybe learn a few short facts about fifes.

  • how do you get the high register so clear??

  • Hmm... I think the particular fife had a good part in the high register's clarity. This fife had a story dated back to about 1915 or earlier (when I got it) and was an antique rosewood fife. The low register SUCKED - well it played ok to low E but D was a pain to try and sound - but the upper registers are great! I suggest trying a Geo. Cloos fife, they're great! Mine in this video, however, was a no-name!

  • im going to buy a maple fife for some civil war reenacting. are maple fifes good? and your hot btw

  • Maple fifes are good for beginners, etc. and thanks!

  • I'm looking to buy a fife as a (hopefully) cheaper alternative to the Irish flute...and because it's shorter I hope that it will be easier on my fingers too. Are you able to play an octave lower than what you played in this video?

  • Hi, thanks for writing! The first song, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, was played in the middle and upper octaves, the second song, Go to the Devil & Shake Yourself, was also played in the middle and upper octaves. I currently have 1 fife that I'll be selling soon, it's an old grenadilla Crosby fife by the George Cloos company and is in the key of C. Drop me a private message if you'd like more info, pics, etc. as it'll be going on eBay shortly! Thanks!

  • I mess around with and play the fife a little bit every once and a while. But I like this video. Really cool. You play very good. Like how this is very informal. Its in your face. Like what where you thinking. Deja Vu. A Momment in Time. Really Great.
