Low Whistles
Low Whistle Finger Spacing Comparison Chart for some whistles

To play a low whistle you will need to use bagpipe finger position--by covering the holes mostly with the middle or second segment of your index and middle fingers of both the upper, left hand and lower right hand. The ring fingers of both hands use the end or first segment of the fingers, to cover the tone holes. Then slightly angle your fingers toward the bottom of the whistle. The reason for this fingering is so your fingers can lie flat and stay comfortable as opposed to aching, if you arch your fingers over to the tone holes, if you used the first segment of your fingers. --all the low D whistles we carry have similar finger spacing and hole size; some take varying amounts of air. This fingering should seem less strained than if you tried to use your first finger pads as you would on a smaller whistle. Bagpipers have been using this technique for centuries.
If it is a tunable whistle, and you have taken it apart to put into a case, then when you reassemble the whistle: put the 2 sections back together gently and aligned with each other. Otherwise,(depending on the brand of whistle), it may cause damage to the O-ring or Teflon tape gasket between the sections.
