I've been looking at Jackie Proux whistles. I understand that he passed away more than a year ago, but I've heard that he has a successor in someone by the name of Guillaume Migault.
However, looking at his price list, he lists whistles in "Re, Do, Sib, La, and Sol". How does this translate to keys?

- Tell us something.: I've been playing whistles since 2010. I love how varied whistles are in their design, construction, tone, and handling. Though I've largely settled on what I enjoy playing, I'm still a sucker for an interesting new design.

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

So "Re, Do, Sib, La and Sol" would be "D, C, Bb, A and G". Have I got that right?Mr.Gumby wrote:Do=C Re=D etc.
