When we were at Historic Richmondtown? And we stopped at the giftshop? I, like, got this pennywhistle? And you know what? Once I figured out how to play it? I realized? I CAN PLAY BY EAR ON THIS THING TOO!
Cooooool.
And once I forget how you're supposed to make things go up an octive (by "blowing harder", which doesn't seem to work), I can do that as well. Their advice is just sucky advice. Or I can't understand what they mean when they say that, which amounts to just about the same thing.
*goes off to practice*

Date: 2005-08-30 02:03 am (UTC)You really do blow harder - not a lot, just slightly, and at a certain point it just jumps up an octave. And the fingering is slightly different, isn't it? I can't remember.

I could try and explain further if you'd like :)
frequency (ie pitch) = wavelenth / time ... or something like that if I remember rightly :). And wavelength is determined by the length of the instrument and what finger holes are uncovered.

Blowing harder like playing a flute. Omg, that makes no sense, I'm sorry. *Flute player*
