the transmontano tin whistle
I’ve been trying to work out a way of playing the northeastern gaita transmontana in Bb minor and until now i hadn’t found a way. now, thanks to a cheap clark D tin whistle i bought, i managed to make what i call the Transmontano Tin Whistle. all it is is a tin whistle tuned in Bb minor. here is the schematic and measurements.
inner diameter: 14.25 (@0.05mm)
total length: 375mm (Ab)
hole positions (from the top):
133mm Ab
164mm Gb
197mm F
223mm Eb
249mm Db
269mm C
303mm Bb
check out the video to see how it sounds, i think it sounds pretty good! now it’s time to make it pretty. and i guess this time there are no pipes in the video, technically. enjoy!
