Same note G# , but not easy for me!!
Thanks
On some whistles this (G# = x x o | x x o ) is a pretty good note, fairly easy to hit–Oak, Acorn, Clare, Generation, and Waltons except Mello-D are all pretty easy to hit.
On other whistles with wider bores (Susato, Syn, Mello-D) you can cross-finger it this way ( x x o | x o x ) and on these whistles you can get a decent first-octave G# with ( x x o | x x x ). These are the same fingerings used on the Baroque flute.
Half-holing almost always works but can be a real challenge to do at speed.

i just stay away from   cross-fingering
 cross-fingering  altogether. i play in D all the time,  sometimes in G.  i just put the tune in D on the computer.
