Made from durable ABS resin, the fife is intended to be a beginners' instrument for the very first lessons on the flute. Although in piccolo size, its blowing feel is closer to a normal flute. Music education brings out the power of expression in children and fosters their sensibility- you can start your kids early on a fife.
Fifes were believed to have originated from the Eastern traverse flute, which was introduced to medieval Europe and improved to the present style. In Europe and America, the fife is widely used in folk music and in drum and fife bands. Its earthy sound also attracts many people in Japan, where fifes are popularly used as a melody instrument in drum and fife bands, and as a starter instrument for those planning to take up flute or piccolo.
With its innovative embouchure hole design, the Yamaha fife is easy to play with accurate intonation, which makes it possible for anybody who follows proper basics to produce beautiful sound.
