to explain my confusion/question, let me use an example
if i have the notation for a tune/song, lets say "morning has broken" (just because i found this on the top of my desk right now) and its not written 4 whistles and it goes like
so there is a C i cant play on my D whistle, i could take a C whistle, BUT it would be to much for me, to make in my mind a "D" out of an "C", and so on, to realize how to do the fingering in this caseEXAMPLE:
___________C__Dm__G_________F____C_______<- chords 4 guitar
Morning has bro-ken like the first mor-ning______<- Text
C___E___G__c*__d*__B__A__G___A___G_______<- notes 4 voice, or in this case whistle
...oh my, this sound so weired but i hope its clear what i mean, is it?
so i "transcribe"(is that the right word?) this tune into
now i can play it on a D whistle in the well known fingering, but play it higher as in the notation4 whistle(D or deepest tone a “D”):
D F A d* e* c* B A B A
or i can use a C whistle, use this fingering as i would on a d whistle and play it as suposed, right? or not?
what happen if i want to play this song on my guitar and whistle together?
is it ok if i know use the C whistle, or...?
i ask this because i have plenty notations which use a lower tone than the D so i cant play it on my whistles and, untill now always "tranbscribe" it which is a lot of work for me
what do you do when you have such notation, can you "fix this in your mind" do you "transcribe it",...?
i guess some more experiance with dots and also some more understanding in musictheory would help me, but i am not so far yet
