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.
