Thread Name: (Penny) Whistling
Subject: Whistling
Hello All,

As a newbie with the whistle I have what may be fundamental questions. I realize that because your whistle may be a given key, "D" frinstance, that doesn't mean you can't play in other keys with that whistle does it? I assume that because whistles are diatonic you can cross key much the way a Harmonica (mouthharp) can be played. When playing in a minor key are some whistles better suited for certain minor keys. "D" is better suited to "Em", "C" to "Dm", stuff like that there. Am I on track here or hopelessly out in the shrubbs?
