I recently acquired an Overton Low G whistle. I am just starting to learn the low whistle in a key other than D. Does anyone have advise on the best fingering for the C notes on this whistle?
Thanks,
Ailin
Added info - I guess I should clarify that I am looking for C sharp.

Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.
Hi Ailin,
If your whistle is pitched in G (high or low) the playing with the top 3 holes covered should produce a C-nat
the G scale is G A B C D E F# G
Have you tried half holing? If you half hole the third hole down from the window, that would work...or perhaps a cross-fingering of: XXOXXX ? That may not work the same on all whistles though.
