Hi
I need to learn how to play the fife... I think I have a Bb one.... it's got six holes and from mouth piece hole to last finger hole it's about 11 inches.... I was just wondering if anyone knows how the fingering goes for this.
Thanks

I don't think it's Bb. The length of a Bb is 15 to 16 inches. I'd guess that yours is in the key of D. You can use a tin/penny whistle fingering chart regardless of the key. You can find one on Sneezy at:

For Bb fife fingering and any questions regarding fifes, contact Skip Healy at Skip@Skiphealy.com. He makes wonderful fife and Irish flutes and he's a reknowed Irish/Fife player. Tell him Jodie sent you!

I have an old 6 fingur fife, but on the back is a single hole, just behind the top three. What is it for?
