Perhaps you're a sensual artist who has little interest in science or instrument-building. In that case, feel free to ignore this post. But if you're a geek like me, if you're interested in making your own whistles, or just curious, here's a good Introduction to Flute Acoustics. The whole site is really well done; there are MP3 audio examples, hyperlinks to research papers and related articles, and he even uses a Terry McGee classical flute as an example for the "simple system" shared by the Irish flute and the tin whistle.
