Basically, just mess around with the whistle(s) (you will eventually get WhOA) and see if it fits with the least "odd" notes. That's okay, I already have WhOA. A mild case, at the very least. >.> I tend to play the whistle whenever the opportunity arises. And when the opportunity doesn't ...

Sharps and flats...?

If you haven't noticed from my last few threads, I am a newbie whistler, and still trying to figure out different concepts of playing the whistle. A Meg, specifically, if that helps... Anyways, sharps and flats are unavoidable in music in most cases, so it would probably help to know how to play the...

Newbie whistler- any tabs?

I have only recently gotten my whistle (a Meg D whistle, which I bought last Saturday), and I play the whistle whenever I can. I cannot read music very well though, nor can I play by ear yet, so I have been looking for a good site with whistle tabs on it. I have found one (guitarnut.com/folktablatur...
