i just bought a low d irish flute off ebay. i cant play it but i do play the whistle. do you think its possible to adapt it and turn it into a low d whistle? if i made a mouthpiece and removed the cork at the end-would it work?
Hey. Thanks for checking out my Low D flute. To answer your question- It may play but it won't be even close to being in tune. You would have to cover the embouchure hole and cut off that end some (not the foot end). Try to learn your flute, you won't regret it, and buy a new whistle some other time. OR Look up "How to Make an Exo-Fipple" on YouTube. You would have to bevel a new edge on the embouchure hole. Good luck
Yes I did. Thank you very much. Maybe I'll have a better video to show them off some day. I have a few laying around, used, for $50 if you're interested. Thanks my friend.

Nice sounding instrument! I made my own pennywhistles for the same reason. I figured I could "figure it out" cheaper than paying hundreds of dollars.
