Alternative high D

[AuLoS303]

Earlier I made a short comparison video showing the 2 methods of reaching High D on my Feadóg D (○●●●●● versus ●●●●●● overblown》). It seems both approaches give a clean note and it would be interesting to see how this works with other members' whistles.
(I wont post the video unless asked)

Now try going to the d' from alternating higher notes : edfdgdadbd. Do this at speed.

Use both ways of playing the d', then re-evaluate which gives a clean note each time.

That should tell you something about the potential value of your video, shoudln't it?

Also try cutting both of them with various fingers and see what the results are.

My videos serve as a reference point for me. I can look back at my older videos and see where I've improved and where I need to improve (same with my piano). It also helps my confidence.

(○●●●●● versus ●●●●●● overblown》)

They're both overblown. It's just that venting T1 helps create the node for the same second harmonic. OXXXXX is standard but, as Mr.Gumby suggests, they're both useful in different contexts. For example, try cutting the note with T3, B1 or B2, where the 'cut' sounds below the D with OXXXXX and above with XXXXXX.

Also try cutting both of them with various fingers and see what the results are.

Depending on the whistle,
oxx ooo or oxx xox might
work too.Overblown.

But why plaster them all over the internet for all to see? They are a good reference for yourself while sitting on your hard drive.

What are you saying with this particular video? That the two ways of playing are the same? Because really, they're not. There's a reason why the vented way is recommended, even if you're not able to see or test that. But you're telling other beginners that it doesn't matter. And that is not particularly helpful in the long run.

We're talking about second D... are you talking about third? In which case, yes, I treat OXXOOO as standard and other options as fine tuning for whistles that need it.

Leave him alone. He's learning and he's having fun. If what he's posting is beneath you, don't read it. We were all beginners once.

In the age of social media, Youtube is woodsheddin'. Being cranky at newbies is an easy way to depopulate this board.

Because I like to ! Like I said above it helps with my confidence. I'm a very nervous person.

Oops! My mistake! In my flute way of thinking
d3 is the high one.

Same here, but managed to mentally translate.

"Woodsheddin'" is, by definition, private. It seems to me that that is not what AuLoS303 is doing.
