Audsley and Irwin list Fife as a shrill open metal flute of 2' or 1' pitch. Wedgwood lists Fifre as a synonym for the Fifteenth or Twenty-Second, or a two-rank Mixture consisting of a 26th and a 29th. Only Audley lists all three names as synonyms, though he also lists Pfeife separately. According to Strony, the theatre organ Fife was extended from the Tibia Clausa or Concert Flute.
