only playing the first 14 or so pages in the beginner book. thx

Welcome aboard Sue,
How old would this prodigy be then?
Slan,
D.
If he can manage the size and finger spread then why not. The fingerings are the same. Which low D did you have in mind?
Mmmm… I got the impression that he was already playing it after a very short study of the beginners book…,
Looks like we will have to await further verification from Mom.
Slan,
D.

(Shrug) I don’t see a problem with it…it’s what did…though I did focus on the high D for several years, so the low always lagged way behind in ability.
I’d say: Ippie, Ippie, Ippie, P’tang Zoopwah boing boing boing
awwww…I was going to say that!!!

I would say “Son, doesn’t your mom like those high notes, or was it the dog howling that made you go for the hard option?”

Okay y’all, I found out yesterday that said 15 yr. old son had stolen my identity and posted as me! Cheeky fellow!
I told him I wouldn’t allow him to blow his money on a new whistle until he showed sufficient interest in whistling. I also told him I thought he might find it too difficult to learn on such a large whistle. Hence his posting.
I myself have been playing the whistle for only two months. Love it! I went home visiting this past summer and my older sisters (twins) had just taken it up. Had to get one too! Or mabye three or four…hmmmm…
Well…in that case, I would certainly say the “ippie ippie” thing, because the young hooligan apparently deserves it!
:roll:
He’s not the Messiah,He’s a very naughty boy.

Slan,

I think it’s great you and your son have a common interest. I d say let him get the whistle and if he loses interest you may just get it for Mother’s Day!
That sounds like an option where everyone comes out a winner.

Uh oh!
You can only pray he didn’t discover the flute forum . . .

This explains the spelling thing. I thought you wanted a whistle that would only be used when your team scored five runs or more.
:roll: Hmmmmm… that Mother’s Day idea has merit, yes…merit! I am already beginning to show signs of WHOA. Must plot fund collection for future acquisitions!
