TWCalc
TinWhistle Hole Calculator V3.3
TWCalc is a Freeware program that runs under MS-Windows.
Note: TWCalc also runs under 'WINE' for linux with
the exception of the graph.
It allows you to calculate hole positions for 6-hole
tinwhistles and flutes.
The latest changes reflect the recent formula changes that are
in my FLUTE-DIATONIC Excel Spreadsheet.
For many years, many in the whistle industry have been using the tone hole
matrix formulas developed in the late 1970's,
I discovered that most of the programs out there do not calculate closed hole
correction right and recently discover an error in
the chimney correction for sharp edge toneholes using 61.33% efficiency
instead of 75%.
What this caused on many whistles that are made by various makers today to be
flat on the low end notes and gradually gets sharper
before it reaches the top tonehole notes. This is now currently the
most accurate tonehole forecasting software that I have know of for tinwhistles.
