________________________
I'm not sure about fifes and the American Colonial period, but I do like them. I first learned to play a fife in 1962 in Australia. I still have my original metal fife in D and it is stll playable. Now a young girl I know wants to learn how to play. If you hear of any links to beginner fife music and/or beginner fife books for sale, I would love to hear about them. Thanks for the info so far :-)
_For a beginner go to Flutewise.com ,M.W.-TN
I love fifes!  For a beginner, go to Ed Boyle's site, www.beafifer.com and get his materials for learning the fife.  Ed has taught countless folks to play the fife, and his system for learning on your own is a terrific one (about the only one you'll fine).  Good luck!

message: The last three paragraphs of this section need serious work: to say that, The best place to see real fife and drum bands in action is in Britain. is totally not Wiki style, as it adds nothing to the article, and violates NPOV.
Copyediting is also needed. Much of the text could be re-worked to be more in-line with native English usage, for example, ironing-out the clunky, atypical semantics of also and always.
The sentences appearing together in these three paragraphs lend no overall meaning to any topic sentence; this is mostly a list of opinions, arbitrarily divided by two line-breaks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.193.113 (talk) 16:52, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

message: When searching Wiki for "fife", the default page it takes you to is the page for the 'council area in Scotland'. Why is this?
Other instruments that share a name with a location take you to the instrument, not the location and this seems to be the rule of thumb... why doesn't 'fife' go to the instrument page? Is it possible to change this?
(Other instruments that are also locations: drum, trumpet, marimba, etc...)

replies: text: Thanks, Mutt Lunker! Discussing it over there. Do you think it is reasonable/possible for the default to be the disambiguation page? Walterblue222 (talk) 07:31, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
