Don't let Australian's hear you say that.

D/C/C#?

If that is 2nd-octave D, that be:
D C C#
o o o
x x o
x x o
x o o
x o o
x o o

?

Of course, I just tried to finger and almost dropped my whistle. That c-nat doesn't work on all D whistles, either.

Accidental double-post.

Day 2 of Bob the Dog The rope tied to my martial arts pell was certainly just a temporary location. Bob, being a lab, needs room to move. And we also needed an easy of removing him from the leash to a walking leash and back. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn12/ngarrang/Bob%20Day%202/BobDay2-3.jp...

I am working on the floor, that is part 2 today. I had about an hour to put the current model together.

A friend that has had 3 Labs thinks he is 6 to 7 months old.

Introducing, Bob the Dog. Xavier named him. We found him abandoned at my mom's house in Preble County. He was obviously tired, thirsty and hungry.

Has anyone added an F# hole to a Bb whistle?

1 hour, 33 minutes and 16 seconds.

Move to Ohio and you have a partner for music. I want to do the same thing.

This is all good information. I was worried that I might be sullying the reputation of the whistle. :) The bluegrass songs I have sheet music for are certainly a lot simpler than much of the Irish music, leaves a lot of space for the previously mentioned improvisation. I don't see myself taking my w...

Do not think that you have to limit yourself to just one whistle in each key. As previous posters pointed out, different High D's will sound different. Get a set of Feadogs, Generations, etc. Having a wide selection of whistles will allow you to have a wide selection of sound to choose from. Dependi...
