Mel Bay Presents Complete Music for Fife and Drum
Walter D. Sweet is a native Connecticut fifer with 32 years' experience. He has taught fifing on all levels, and plays other instruments as well. With Yankee ingenuity, he also designs instruments: The "Waltfife" features a Boehm-style bore for traditional easy with added robustness; his Boehm flute in F above C matches the range of the fiddle for playing dance music. Sweet also works as a technical writer for Jagenberg in Enfield, Connecticut.
