Agreed.  But it's probably worth it to try to encapsulate that in a
wrapper script of sorts to be smarter -- especially if he doesn't want
to "globally" transpose everything, say, down a minor 3rd.  He's better
off writing something that intelligently reads the keys of each tune,
checks the pitch range, then chooses the best key for the whistle based
on those discoveries.  

Sounds like a fun project (for a computer-weenie like myself)!
