WhistleSmith Fife and Pail Corp.
I personally feel that the Auto fife is perfect to get young players involved in fife and drum activities . This is a very easy instrument to start out on and is a one time investment in getting young folks involved in an excellent outdoor activity. I have been talking all winter to individuals about the idea of starting a FIFE AND PAIL CORP to participate in parades and events in our local area. A five gallon poly-pail is an excellent drum with the addtion of a strap (dog leashes work fine, they even have a swivel on one end). A pair of drumsticks and you have you rhythm section completely outfitted. I would be pleased to talk to individuals from any group interested in using my fifes to start a group. I currently have 100 Hi-D fifes completed and available for this project. E-mail us to find out details and how to qualify to do a FIFE AND PAIL project. I will keep the project open until all the fife inventory is gone and plan on repeating the project next year on a larger scale if possible.
