	Fife (musical instrument) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fife originated in medieval Europe and is often used in military and marching bands.
		Fifes are made mostly of wood: grenadilla, rosewood, mopane, pink-ivory, cocobolo and other dense woods are superior; maple and persimmon are inferior, but often used.
		Fife music is commonly written in the key of D, and played as though the fife played in that key (playing notes D, E, F#, G, A, B and C# as finger holes are uncovered in succession) regardless of what key the fife actually plays in.

		However, the classification of instruments by their primary materials still persists in, for instance, East Asian music and, up to a point, the Western orchestra, whose instrumental divisions consist of the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion families with an additional grouping for keyboard instruments.
		Renaissance music in Europe before the dominance of the violin family featured the viol family (which are bowed, like the violins), and various types of lute, including the cittern and the theorbo.
		The stringed instruments of nearly all cultures are variations on the basic types of lute, zither, fiddle, and lyre, and many instruments of this type are still in common use.

	NAMIR - Musical Instrument Repairs
		Most musical instrument repairers offer to carry out on woodwind instruments the following category of repair: - checkover and put right, service (when the instrument is dismantled, cleaned and faults put right, and re-pad or overhaul (when all pads and most corks are replaced) along with the work done in a service.
		As with the oboe there are also some repairers that specialise in double reed instruments and this is particularly the case with bodywork repairs to the bassoon as not all repairers have the necessary equipment for this work.
		When a brass instrument fails to speak in its normal manner this will be because there is either a constriction somewhere in the tubing (you would be amazed at some of the things extracted from brass instruments – including live gerbils!) or there is a leak somewhere.

		This instrument is made of a block of tun wood, with a goat skin stretched over the body.

	CHEWING AND SPEEDLEARNING, by Donna Holman, CPA
		Parents have been judgmental about “music” while studying, and the evidence is that those who listen to “upbeat” tunes learn more, faster and remember it longer.
		Further research showed us that Baroque classical music, which incidentally has 60 beats a minute, is far and away more conducive to improved long-term memory while studying.
		It’s no coincidence that music that copies our heart beat makes us stress-free, so we learn faster and remember it longer.
