Switched back to whistle, now having trouble with rolls.

[system]

I have been playing only flute now for a few months, and today I switched back to whistle for fun. I am now having trouble with the A and B rolls on the D whistle. It is no problem on the flute, but my finger is having trouble doing the cut before the tap on the higher octaves on the whistle. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Good suggestion, I just might do that.

Try holding the whistle sideways and playing it out of the corner of your mouth?

Keep at it. Your rolls with be back, shortly.

When I went back to playing whistle after being ill, I had lost all my “ornamentation” skill to start with - most upsetting. It came back after a couple of days, though, so don’t despair!

Thanks guys, it did come back. I just had to warm up a lot.
