Subject: RE: Tuning an Irish whistle
Hi Richard. Good advice above. I now make my own Whistle bodies to go with Generation Heads. I use the Polystyrene tube readily available in UK Model shops. Evergreen 1/2 inch Tube No 236 This fits a Generation D or Eb top. I'm the guy that uses bluetac to fill in the space behind the fipple to sharpen the top octave relative to the bottom. TTFN PP
