Hi to all,

I'm an absolute beginner to the tin whistle and I'm just practising my first songs. I'm living in China and I've had a "Generation" tin whistle in the key of D and a wooden "Hohner" recorder posted over to me, (I can't buy them here).

I've noticed that the fs note is not the same pitch on both instruments, it's a little flatter on the recorder.

Are there differences between the recorder and tin whistle or is this a quality control issue?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Patrick
