Welcome to the FifeDrum
Historical Fife Pages.
"I found a Civil War Fife on eBay!"
On any day of the week you can run a search for "Civil War Fifes" on any
online auction
site and come up with
several examples of instruments represented as "Civil War Era". By reading
these auctions you will see what we mean about 'any six hole fife' being sold as
a Civil War Artifact. Here are a few examples of fifes offered as Civil War
Fifes. We have included the original pictures and text from the online auction,
but
removed any identifying information. After all, our intent is to educate, not
embarrass.
