Hi Dave
Thanks for the info -- my thought was based on looking at my copy
flageolet (french) by Charlie Wells -- plays over 2 octaves chromatic
with six holes, two on the back and four in front with large spooning
inside round each tone hole, he said that's the way he gets the hole
equi-distant and two octaves in tune --
always glad of snippits from the makers --

In an Irish chanter bore if you enlarge the bore round a tone hole,
the first octave sharpens and the second octave flattens.
Getting the right balance in the octaves is one of the great pleasures
of making Irish chanters.
