well, ironically, it’s a non-cross fingered G, since it’s a mezzo A whistle; but you get the idea.
the G is too sharp with the standard xooxxx
should i pass this on to someone who prefers 1/2 holing the C (G), or learn to 1/2 hole?
i wasn’t aware of this whistle’s situation prior to purchasing.
also, what other whistles (makers I guess) don’t use cross fingered C (which I prefer)?
Do you mean oxxooo ? (x = closed hole, o = open hole)
change yer standard?
if XOO OOO is F# then
XOO XXX is not gonna be higher
how is XOX XXX for F nat?
translated into D for them what
if XOO OOO is B then
XOO XXX is not gonna be higher
how is XOX XXX for Bb?
curses! i just read a thread where MT corrected a guy’s x’s and o’s, and now me 
anyway, yes, I could adjust other fingering, but i’m wondering if it’s worth having 1 whistle in a collection with a slightly different fingering?
OXX OOO is common
or
OXX ??? ~~~ where ? is try everything and pick the best one
some of my flutes are
OXO XXX (or OXO ???)
Yes, some of my flutes are OXO XXX as well. Trouble is (slightly OT, sorry) that wrecks the nice poppy sound of the triplet XOO OOO OXX OOO OXX XXX So I’m ending up having to train myself to play the triplet as just stated but, where there is just a single Cnat, using the first stated fingering. Confusing it is.
Learn to half hole!! It’s really not hard to learn and the same technique will also allow you to play a nice G#, Fnat, Eb,etc. The half hole technique is also similar/related to the technique for slurring notes upwards so for a relatively easy learning curve you add a LOT of good stuff to your playing abilities.
well! If yer gonna play one of these things without keys on everything then you are gonna miss out, on the best parts of not having keys on everything, if ya don’t learn to half hole.
I occasionally 1/2 hole a D# or Cnat, so yes, I’ll just add some more of that to my repertoire. More pitch bends too. Classy.
