My second day of trying to coax something remotely musical out of this beautiful rosewood C fife by Ralph Sweet. Bought it online from Lark in the Morning (larkinam.com). Good place for finding folk instruments, they're based in california and I've always had great customer service experiences with them.

Sorry for the mess, visited my parents for the holidays and was in the middle of unpacking.

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

    a( Orange County, California)

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 2 people obviously can't play the fife.

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

  • i have a fife too! :)

  • Amazing and beautiful!

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

  • Você é muito bonita e toca muito bem!

  • It looks like a magic wand! :D

  • 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. (:

  • 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

  • oh i love your music! excelent!
