Roy's School of the Fife - Part One - Making a Sound on the Fife (with Fifer Roy Wulf)

[@henry6644]

This is a great tutorial for fife I once thought of playing fife in re-enactments so I did research and couldn’t find anything, but this looks very promising

[@mr.roywulf]

Glad you found it informative. I will be posting more of these short videos to show how to learn to play the fife step by step. Playing fife, drum, and/or bugle is a great way to participate in historical reenactments.

I've been waiting for so long, thank you!

[@mr.roywulf]

You are welcome!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great tutorial Mr. Roy!

[@mr.roywulf]

Thank you so much. This is the first in a series. I'm hoping to help people who want to participate in fife and drum!

[@visionpiping1048]

Thank you! Consider me a student

[@mr.roywulf]

@@visionpiping1048 You put in a request for this awhile ago, so it has been on our to-do list! We had you in mind in particular. The next thrilling episode will be coming along soon!

[@stevensheldon9271]

Just bought my first fife and am trying to find videos to learn how to play it.

[@mr.roywulf]

Congratulations! It's lots of fun. You'll enjoy it!

[@adryanluiz9288]

where you but that fife? and i loved you video! new subscriber!

[@mr.roywulf]

@adryanluiz9288 Thanks so much for subscribing, and I'm glad you liked that video. I will add more to the series as I can manage. The fife is from Peeler Fifes. It is the Ferrary model in Mopane wood.

What fife do you use for the ACW?

[@mr.roywulf]

I have always used a Model F fife (in Bb) with long brass ferules in grenadilla wood from beafifer.com. The owner of beafifer.com, Ed Boyle, was recently in ill health, so it wasn't possible to get something ordered from him. However, he is hopefully better now and is shipping orders again. He's a great person, and my Model F fife has worked great for many years for me. I also recommend getting a leather fife "scabbard" with a belt loop. It's very handy to put the fife somewhere and not have to carry it around at all times.

[@shingasa4725]

Can you recommend some sources to get one of these fifes?

[@mr.roywulf]

Yes, there are many places to get excellent fifes. The particular fife I am playing in these videos is manufactured by Peeler Fifes (www.peelerfifes.com/). Since I am happy with this fife that I have, I can recommend that company! (By the way, Part Four will be posted very shortly.)
