The fife is held sideways to the right and blown across the mouthpiece to get notes. Simple fingerings get notes of the scale (diatonic mode --do-re-mi..) in the key of D, and cross-fingerings get notes in between. Notes in the upper register (next scale up) requires a bit more practice. These notes can be fingered just as the lower, or with the cross-fingerings in the directions.
The 'carved contour' mouthpiece (inset photo) makes blowing notes easier, especially for beginners.
