I have been learning on a high D whistle and just for a change I bought a Bb and instantly found a little problem with the finger holes in that I can’t easily get my right hand ring finger on the lowest hole due to arthritis. So far I have got round it by taping my ring finger and little fingers together and playing normally, this makes my little finger automatically cover the tone hole even though I am ‘driving’ with my ring finger, it’s not perfect but I’m hoping I’ll get used to it.
Anyone else had to do something like this with the bigger whistles?
