Holding/fingering a low D whistle

Impromptu demonstration and discussion of issues affecting reliable tone-hole coverage and comfort in playing large size whistles and a method to approach and solve the problems.

Here's a written description of what I try to explain in the video:
Put the R3 finger pad squarely on the E hole (lowest hole, closing it gives D), then lay R1 & R2 fingers across the tube across their holes and push them forward, pivoting on R3 (pad on hole) until your wrist is as straight as possible. Seal the F# & G holes with R 2 & 3 second joints, wherever they fall, not the finger tip pads. Adjust the R thumb to a comfortable position beneath the tube.

This approach will be very much more comfortable (avoids R wrist pain!) and will free the action of the fingers considerably, and as it is centred on or derived from the R3 on-hole position, should reduce the risk of missing that hole when trying to finger it.

EDIT: I have now (29:6:2021) added a supplementary video (   • Low Whistle support - supplementary d...  ) dealing with the question of stablility of support when fingering "open" C# and pl;aying "over the break" between the registers.
