Re: Whistles with good volume
Is Goldie the new overton? I got mine made loud for playing outdoors. It has a very narrow wind channel so needs plenty of pressure but it is my favourite.

Re: D-minor pentatonic on tin whistle
You can already get G major pentatonic on a normal tube. Therefore you get E minor pentatonic and the 3 other relative penta. modes. Just keep certain fingers down as you would if the holes weren't there. Easy :) So if you really want D minor, without cross fingering malarkey, use an A whistle. D i...

Thanks for the replies. How does the Brinklow pipe work without overblowing? A little thumb hole somewhere? I knew the reed plays an octave below the fipple but didn't know about the 12th overblow. My sop mouthpiece on a usual D whistle tube - no holes cut yet gives a B3. I have a Xaphoon but can't ...

Fipple or reed
I have a soprano sax and am thinking why not take a tube with 6 holes and plug in the mouthpiece? Anybody done this? Any advice on construction? I know you can buy these things but not cheap. On the other hand one could I supose stick a whistle head on a sax!

You certainly seem to have a point there pancelticpiper. Could someone with a normal Overton post some dimensions for us. My close spaced Overton has the following. Measuring from top of each hole. Space between4th and 5th hole is26mm Space between 5th and 6th is 44mm Attempting to measure between c...

http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~maaac/images/Overton-Low-D.jpg This one was made for me by Bernard Overton. It has the 'close finger spacing' option. It sounds like yours is the same. I don't notice the difference in volume. Holes 1,2,3 are just under 10mm in daimeter. Then we have 6,10,7 mm for the bott...

Key changes
I have updated this one. Easy to figure out what key arises if I use an F whistle instead of a D but what if the music is written in Ab ? How to rewrite the score in a more friendly key and choose a whistle so the result comes out in the key of Ab? http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/~bjs/key-change.jpg
