Is this good instrument tor beginners?

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

Is it available in D?

It might be available from some supplier but the American Plating & Manufacturing fife is only available in "C".

What type of metal is it?

Nickel, I think it might be plated with something else too. It has a very good and clean tone.

Is it good for 8year old children

It is a great little instrument! It is played like a flute, so the 8 year old will probably need some assistance to get used to making sound correctly.Great price for an instrument that is fun and a good challenge.
