I can't think of a subject because I don't know exactly what

Whistle

Nice informative subject line, huh? I’ll have to explain myself then. Awhile back someone posted a chart showing what whistle you would use if you wanted to play a tune in D (say it was in F) but you didn’t want to transpose it. Or something like that…I think that’s what it was about…Anyways, I tried searching the archives, but considering I don’t even know how to describe it very well, I didn’t get any matches. If somebody knows what post its in, or if they have it somewhere so that they could email it to me, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Brent all you have to do to play an F tune in D on a D whistle is to finger it as if you were playing an F whistle.

I think waht you are looking for is here:

The subject of the thread was “Different Keys/Different Whistles.” There were a number of replies but the one by Feadan was, IMO, the clearest.

Good luck.
