FIFES AND PICCOLOS

The fife is a simple 6 hole flute pitched usually in high Eb, D, Bb and sometimes as low as G or F. Early examples were unkeyed, many have between one and five keys to facilitate the chromatic scale. It was used traditionally by the army where fife and drum were often played together.
