When you play thre scale you don't show us how to get the higher octave. Is it just a case of blowing harder in order to get certain notes?

you will need 12 for all the keys lol

@Bassman: Breathing is mostly posture and practice. If you're still having trouble after a month or so, you can try gluing matchsticks on either side of the windway, but you shouldn't have to.
@Surfdigby: Squeaking is usually not getting the holes completely covered, or trying to blow one note when your fingers are playing a different one.

Okay. I got a tin whistle for Christmas and I've strated on the scales but I'm having difficulty with the breathing. How do I maintain a steady blow without running out breath myself? Also, is it necessary to touch the mouthpiece with your tongue.

Is it bad that I bought a E flat? Should I be returning it and getting a D?

@CelineCascanettesing I have a Lord of the Rings - shire song that I posted on YouTube last year. I performed that on an E flat tin whistle. It's not bad at all. You should consider buying a D whistle too because the most popular key for tin whistle is D - but not always

@conse01 I bought all my whistles from "The Whistle Shop" online. I got the Generation brand - they are all very good and inexpensive.
