Wouldn't a penny whistle player sound like a penny whistle player

There were a couple of notes at the top of the first octave that had

the
characteristic penny whistle sound. Maybe it's a difference in bore,

but
the instruments really sound different.


There is more difference between the bores of individual penny whistles

than
between the average penny whistle and a recorder.


Don't be a bore, Fartingale. It was definitely a octocontrabass
recorder.


Clearly not - too high. I wonder if anyone has made an octocontrabass
recorder & what it would sound like.


Ask Dickless, fan. He's the alleged expert.
