Lesson 2-1-14 - High E Flat
High E Flat (notated "eb") is one of the nine half-holed notes in the standard 25 notes for a Key of D Whistle.
It's made by covering the top five holes completely, half-covering the sixth note, then blowing harder than you would for a Low Eb. I find that squashing the centre of the tip of the right ring finger against the upper edge of the hole allows me a lot of control as to how much of the hole I cover. As with all the half-holed notes, I'd recommend learning the full-holed notes first before trying them. There are fantastic whistle players out there who cannot play these notes with any degree of proficiency, and they still manage to play fine music. |
