There are many individuals who would like to learn to play. I have met people who travel hundreds of miles to reenactments and musters who simply cannot do the same on a regular basis for lessons, but would still very much like to learn. I devised a system just for them, consisting of a music book and an audio compact disk.
Please note that the fife played on the CD is a Bb instrument, beyond any doubt the most popular in use today. If you don't know if you have a Bb fife, measure the distance between the center of the blow hole and the center of the last finger hole. It should measure about 10-7/8 inches, give or take a bit.
The lessons in the book are keyed to 75 tracks on the CD, so you can hear exactly how the instrument is supposed to sound when you play the exercises.
