Flat Chieftain D OXXX-XXX?

Have others experienced a flat D in the second octave when using OXX-XXX? How do you get a brighter D, just by blowing harder? Can the barrel be shortened, or will that make all the notes higher?

Someone mentioned on another topic that his Chieftan A tunes best with xxxxxx...is it the same in your case? Mike

I have 3 chieftains, two tunable and one non-tunable Chieftain gold. The XXX-XXX fingering seems to work better on the second octave bell tone of each whistle. I'm judging this from using the XXX-OOO note and a tuner to tune the whistles.
It's not exact; however, it's close enough to try to moderate with breath control from the xxx-xxx fingering.

Hope this works for you to so you can further ...

P.S. I'm assuming your Post title has a typo otherwise you've got a custom chieftain with seven holes instead of 6. ;o)
