You will have to wait until our resident rocket scientist Nelson, finishes his book: “Physics of the Conical Flute Made Easy” comes out… 
Unless the finger is named for the note of the hole it opens rather than the one it covers. 
I have a whistle student at summer camp who insists on writing the numbers for fingerings: 1 is B, 2 is A, and so on until 6. Notation is just another step in the way at best, but at least that system was hard to argue.
I’ve never thought of calling it either a B finger, or a C# finger.
Now I’ll never know if I’m being insulted by being given the A finger or whether it’s the B finger instead.

The set is really nice - but I wish she would have named the tracks CD1-1, CD1-2 and so on (or A1, A2… / B1, B2… or something like that)…
When you want to hear - for example - track 71, you need CD2 and then you have to count; so you click forward on your CD-player to play ‘CD track 71’ as track 26 (or something)… 
A minor thing but it could have been “corrected” easily… Maybe it’s just me 
But a great ressource, no doubt!!
I’ve run into this before. But what I generally do is immediately rip the contents of the CDs to my computer anyway. Then, if I’m so inclined, I can rename the tracks. I practice from the computer rather than the CDs, but if you prefer, you can always burn new ones with the revised names.
…or having put each CD in its own subfulder
edit the columns displayed to include “track”
then you can see the track number
and sort on it.

WAIT TIME FOR THE Flute tutor book from June McCormack
Books are posted after an order has been received. Books should arrive within a week to ten days.
Hi all,
Where did you find this tutorial? I’ve tried amazon.com and sheetmusic and no info on them. Need a couple of good tutorials on the irish flute.
Thanks.

Whoops, sorry about the double-post. Things weren’t moving there for a few minutes, and I hit send again. Anyway, it’s a great set. It’ll keep me busy for a LONG time!
I’m enjoying working with this! I especially like the selection of tunes here. June has chosen ones that are really great flute tunes.
I find so many tunes that make me wish I played fiddle, or concertina, something with a wider range. Or with that certain something that only another instrument can truly express. Here, though, are tunes that will have other players wishing they played the flute. They are gems!
The accompanying recording is terrific, too. Once through slowly, once up to speed. Lots of variations from the annotated sheet music, but that only opens up the possibilities. I didn’t find the explanations confusing in terms of how she describes the fingering, but I wasn’t coming into it green either.
I’m happy! More great music!
Jennie
I’d second the enthusiastic comments so far. Great tone, simple explanations, nice tunes, and there is a lot more to listen to than to get from the dots, which is itself revealing. I am also finding it very helpful for one of my big issues, knowing when to breathe. In that respect I fall in the group identified by John Kerr who are used to playing long phrases, and run out of air toward the end, rather than playing short phrases. I am really struck by how often she breathes, and how every note is strong.
Hugh
As a matter of fact, nope, I have not received my flute tutorial yet. 
Ordered Sept 10
Emailed and PM’d last week, no word.
Should have ordered from WhistleandDrum???
Didn’t know they were selling it.

Hi,
I ordered the book direct from the source and it arrived soon afterwards and I’m delighted with it. I’m looking forward to working through the tunes …
Seeya,
Helen.
Are most of the tunes in the tutorial different to those she’s recorded on Draiocht and Land’s End?
See the tune list above, (p. 2, I think, of this thread) to see the list of tunes.
Jeanie
I’ve send money my money in an envelope 'round sept 10,
i didn’t try to contact her, the tutor arrived this morning. But maybe you should give them a ring now.
Whistle and Drum seems out of these for now.
