A brand new fife design with an automatic Sideshooter mouthpiece available only from the Whistlesmith! The Mystic Auto Fife is easily played by anyone familiar with the pennywhistle, fife, or flute. Blow into the mouthpiece and your breath is directed sideways over the sound hole for perfect tone and clarity. In less than ten minutes, you will be playing this instrument like a professional.

The Mystic Auto Fife will appeal to the beginning player or an experienced musician and has been designed to fill the requirements of people who play the fife and have written with suggestions and requests.

• Low learning curve allows you to concentrate on your marching and play like a professional.
• The Mystic Auto Fife will play in cold weather and in a heavy wind.
• Fife sound hole faces your right ear so you can hear your instrument over loud snare drums and other fifes when playing.
• Head is hollow with two adjustable polyfoam plugs equally spaced behind the sound hole to give increased volume and clarity.
• Mystic Auto Fife is hand tuned, tweaked, and electronically checked before it leaves my shop.
• Sideshooter mouthpiece is easily cleared by covering the sound hole with your finger and blowing mouthpiece.
• PVC construction will not bend, break, or warp out of key. PVC gives great sound because it is similar in density to high quality hardwood and warms up quickly and stays warmed up because of its insulation value.
• There is no wood, metal, or adhesives in this instrument. All joints are self tapers, all edges are beveled, and the bore is completely unpainted for best sound.
• Finger holes are for small hands playing and finger holes are offset on models if needed for correct and comfortable fingering.
• The mouthpiece slides completely apart and all surfaces are accessible for cleaning.
• Mystic Auto Fife comes in a variety of custom colors. Whistles done in colors are airbrushed with liquid vinyl color and three coats of clear top coat. Whistles coated with vinyl feel dry and slip nicely on your hand even in wet, damp conditions.
