Bb whistle fingering chart

[kardshark87]

Hey everybody,
I just got a Bb whistle (2 actually, 1 nickel, 1 brass) and i know all the main notes (Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,) but i don't know all the other stuff like B or anything else, so if anybody has a complete fingering chart for a Bb whistle please tell me (or if anybody knows of a website). thank you.

Hi Brent,

The Bb whistle uses the same fingering as the D whistle, so it is not likely that you will find a chart for a Bb that includes more than the standard fingering (perhaps Susato has something, but I don't remember it being particularly complete). But this might help - or entirely confuse you, but here goes:

<pre>
Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb
x x x x x x x x x x o o o
x x x x x x x x o o x o x
x x x x x x / o x o x o x
x x x x x o o o x o ? o x
x x x / o o o o x o ? o x
x / o o o o o o x o ? ? x
</pre>

x = closed
o = open
/ = halfhole
? = you decide what you like.

There are, of course, lot's of alternate fingerings. Use http://www.stainedglass.org/other_pages ... _main.html to see some of them.
