I can't reach the bottom hole on my Low D. What should I do?

Try not to play with your pinky. There is usually a wee trick which helps: if you use the middle part of the first and second fingers on each hand to cover their respective holes then it becomes far easier to reach the bottom hole with the pad on your third finger. In other words you straighten your fingers (more like a piper would play) and slightly rotate both your hands moving your wrists towards the top of the whistle. Contact us if you continue to have problems or would like us to send you some pictures to help explain this.
