Playing Klezmer with a tinwhistle

Whistle
21

Can you do this at speed though, great speed? Listen to Klezmer.
Thats the the good thing about a Bingamon tailor made whistle.
Even a beginner will be able to be at it at speed.

Yes I have one with the extra C hole. It is fun to mess about with and sounds very eastern but it is way out of tune and not in any consistent way. I have had it for some time so they may be better now.
Supposedly tuned to:

C, D, Eb, F#, G, A, Bb, C, D

The A is somewhere between A and Ab and curiously the second C (all holes open) comes out as a B. Maybe if I blow harder …

Typical of NON-diatonic modes, the Ahava Rabba has LESS than 6 intervals that can be the root of a harmonic chordal triad. In this one, the unrootable ones are the 3rd and the 5th. Thats only two for this. Diatonics have only one unrootable. Bhairav/Hejaz Kar (I think Daniel uses the term Roma) has 3 unrootables.

You can see now why the diatonics under the banner of major/minor key signatures predominate in modern western chordal music. Can’t you?
