Built just like our solid, six-hole fife, the ten-hole fife allows you to play in a full, accurate chromatic range without half-holing or cross-fingering. The Healy ten-hole fife is extremely popular for all forms of fife music but its tonal range truly shines in solo or ensemble work.

When To Call a Professional

Ask ten people about the care and feeding of wooden flutes, fifes, and piccolos and you'll get ten different opinions ranging from perfectly credible to utterly absurd. If you wrote down all of the online and offline discussion about oiling wooden flutes alone, you could probably fill several large city libraries.

Can I leave the instrument in one piece?
Yes you can, but I advise against it. There is a high likelihood that the sections you leave joined will “freeze.” Proper maintenance of your tenons will help you avoid this situation. If you take it apart, it will never happen.
