Re: Aulos Stanesby Flute

I am no expert but am working on playing baroque flutes (I own a couple of 3D printed flutes from Jeff Wulf). For the forked finger Fnat try blowing a bit more softly and image pronouncing the sound 'ang'. That's from Doretthe Janssens' book, "New !Method for the Traverso"

Re: Modifying tin whistle for pipe training

Elf Song whistles make whilstles with GHP fingering and whistles using the Galician fingering system utilizing a left hand thumb hole as well as a 7th hole for the right hand pinky. I have one of the latter if you may be interested.

Re: First Bb Whistle

As far as a capo goes - if you put the capo on the third fret then the form used for G (with no capo) becomes Bb, C becomes Eb and D becomes F, etc.
