Here’s with a sore question of term-in-hology and holey scriptura.
I get confuse(d) at times.
See this hereattachedwith sketch of a whistle:
ooo ooo
I know, some may argue it also looks a flute too,
tut-tut and toot-toot
I gotta upgrade my online CAD program. And spelling checker, toot.
Sorry for digressing (dig racing, dig it ?) as usual.
Let me improve the sketch, so it won’t be confused with a flute. A duckbill should do it. Here :
= ooo ooo
So, back to our sheep. <----this is called a metaphor. I insist I’m no friends of Daisy, and drink no Woolite (yet); as for the cloned ewe whatsername which just croaked, I couldn’t help <----now this a digression. Again, rats.
Where were we ? <----turning to the to aliterated illiterate’s thread. “It’s a looong way to literaaaary, It’s a long dee-dumm…”
“… THE MATTER, SIR ?” Ow, Right.
Take this hole here I just capped :
= ooo ôoo
How should I call it ?
F-hole ? This sounds rude to me, but I’m only a foreigner. Beside, if I open it, a G sound escapes. I have a good seal on first three; funny, three seals together bark in G ?
So it’s a G hole ? I can see your point. First time I can see a G-point hidden by an F-hole. But it seems strange. To me G is this one here—> = ooô ooo.
Let’s call it the 3rd hole! Doesn’t work. Even with my entry-level CAD program, it was obvious we had to read left to right, from mouth end to, er, South pole ?.
So it’s the 4th hole. Doesn’t work better. See:
lets’ sound : D–zilch hole aka Black Hole,
E, 1 hole
F#, 2 holes
G, 3 holes…
Last attempt. Non PG, very PC, to get rid of F words, let’s go Do-ray-mee, Fah. Which has the advantage of being clear for whistles of any tone.
OK, FAH-hole. Sounds weard, at best. Fa-sharp-hole? Is it much better, is it?

It is the third or right index finger hole.
I knew this thread would end up on index, with all them papists around.
Maybe I should have started with a safer hole.
= ooo ooô
This is called ring finger, right ?
Else :
= ooo oôo
Btw, what finger is this? In my teens, my first ever girl-friend named it the game (“Paul, don’t push this game too far”) but I suspect it was a vernacular word: she had that New Hampshah accent, y’know.
BTW : private announcement : anyone who knew some Borsodis in the sticks of NH ? Trace lost…
So, what ya been smokin’ Zub? I ask cause I think I’d like to try some. As long as we’re talking about holes just remember that now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. This reminds me about donut holes. Is the hole what is cut out or the emptiness that is left. In other words, is your donut half empty or filled with jelly?

When you cut out the holes from doughnuts you have Timbits left. I thought everyone knew that.
Is the glass half empty? or half full? if you go by which hole you’re opening to make which note, the original diagram would be of a g hole. I’ve seen this used often but I think it is wrong. which hole do I have to cover to make which note? that is the way I think of it and that makes it an f# or R1 hole. everyone knows the holes go bagf#ed.
Besides, if we did it the other way I’d have to change my name to cbagf#e, and that just would be silly.
That’s my 5.34 cents worth (allowing for inflation and cost of living increases)
To fill the Albert Hall ? All the thousand found in Burnsbyrne, Lancashire
Bozemanhc, what means “keeping the cows in” ? This is a sheep topic, within ewe, without ewe.
Bagfed, thanks for clearing (at last) your nick to me thickhead. Though this missing # bothers me. Did you Americanize your name from Octave Bagfed’c (alias *ooo ooo o) when you emigrated from the eastern Bloeck ?

Zub,
That’s all I got about holes. It’s a metaphysical subject.
However, I wonder if Busman can make me a whistle out of Norwegian Wood. If he could I think I’d feel fine.

Your words are walrus-ieved, Zoob, although it appears that you are somewhat dating yourself, as it were (yikes). Just so long as the game is not afoot…
Is this the same as a moon pie? Speaking of dating oneself, I knew I was old when I heard a teenager refer to the boys from Liverpool as “Paul McCartney’s old band”. I’m getting too close to when I’ll be 64. Zub-zub-a-zoob
