Looking for a fingering chart for a fife

[SixImpossible]

I have a fife, I'm pretty sure it's a C, but I cannot remember much of the fingering. I know it's similar to a descant recorder, but the holes are different, and my ear is not good enough to work it out for myself.

There is the thumb hole on the back, then the holes alternate single and double.

Can anyone point me to a fingering chart, preferably a graphic one?

Don't mean to be rude, but I never understand why people ask MN, when there are many dedicated sites for almost every topic:

www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/its-easy-to-make-music/make-music-0145.htm

www.luton-lambeg.org/music/music_portal.htm

www.wikihow.com/Play-the-Fife

Hope these might help.

Thanks.

I looked online first off, but perhaps I wasn't using the correct terminology, because I did not come across any of those sites. I found several that have me fingerings in another pitch and told me to transpose.

On MN people understand layman's language.

I've looked at the websites, and they all refer to six-hole fifes.

Mine has one hole underneath, for the left-hand thumb, and seven holes on top: single, double, single, double, single, double, single.

I haven't played it in nearly 20y. All I remember is that the left hand fingering is the same as for the recorder.

Maybe it's not a fife?

It's this.

Could it be what they call a 'penny whistle' ? (though it would cost a lot more than a penny these days.)

OR do you blow ACROSS it like a flute?

Sorry can't help more.

[SixImpossible]

Definitely not a penny whistle (I've got a couple of those as well!). Yes, you play it by blowing across, like a flute.

Have a look at fingering charts for a Baroque Flute. My sister used to play one, that had seven holes, it didn't have double holes though and had a key on the bottom hole.

Do you remember what key it is in?
