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.

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!

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!
