Whistle Notes

[watemple]

Any experienced whistle guys out there?

I'm trying to find the notes of C&TS 489's ATSF 6 Chime as heard in THIS video. I think it's: D F G A C D, but I could be wrong. I'm planning to make a PVC replica of this whistle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I get:

D4
F4
G4
A4
B4(+42 cents)-to-C5(-24 cents)
D5

The fifth tone wavers back and forth between a slightly sharp B4 and a slightly flat C5, as shown in the spectrogram below.

Overall, since all of the notes are slightly flat, if you adjust the overall pitch upwards (to bring them closer to A=440 Hz), then that fifth note would be (mostly) a "C5".

Thank you!


By the way, what program is that? It looks to be quite useful.
