...it still would not a tin whistle be. It arrived yesterday, and I can play a scale and a simple tune on it; a six-hole is pretty easy fingering. The fingering chart on a 12-hole I find quite imposing... But I'll try it out eventually. After I'm more comfortable on this one.
Interestingly, for the first octave, it appears there is no difference between common sweet-potato 4-holes and 6-holes except tuning - the 6-hole is tuned a couple of tones higher, which you then play down from by covering the two underside holes.
I'm going to look into finding a 4-hole for Aidan. He may not make much music, but he'll find making coherent noise far easier on a 4-hole - then he only needs to worry about grip and not covering the underside holes.
