I have a faedog tin whistle in D, and no matter how hard I try, when I play a high G, it never plays high, but somewhere in the middle. It sometimes helps to move the whistle when I play a high G, but it’s inconvenient to do that all the time. Is there any possible remedy for this that anyone knows? I’d love the G to sound just as great as the rest of the notes do. Not like G in mud flat.

Is it just that one note that is causing the problem? The notes above and below that are ok? If so, that is unusual. Check for debris inside the mouthpiece - wash it out with warm soapy water. Check that there are no bits of plastic around the windway. Try varying your breath pressure on that note (sometimes on “cheapie” whistles certain notes may need more (or less) air than the others. Check also the inside of the barrel and around the inside of the fingerholes. If all else fails…get a new whistle!
