T his book was created using ABCexplorer. ABCexplorer is a freeware software program for
windows written by Gérard Dumont in Pouldergat, France. ABCexplorer converts ABC files (a
text based sheet music file) into actual sheet music that can be viewed on the computer screen or
printed. ABCexplorer also has the ability to play the music, slow down or speed up the tempo, and
transpose the music into different keys.
By using the Hall Crystal Flute format file ABCexplorer is also capable of displaying finger patterns
underneath each note as a learning aid for beginning flute players. This option may be toggled on and
off. The Hall Crystal Flute format file is now included with the ABCexplorer program and is also
available from the link at the bottom of the page.
To turn on the Hall Crystal Flute finger patterns in ABCexplorer, click on [Options] from the top
menu bar, then click on [external tools]. Next click on the file folder button just under
[Path of the format file for the tablatures:]. Then click on [hall_flute.fmt] to select the file.
Click [OK] and you're done.
To toggle the finger patterns on and off click the [tablature button] see illustration.
By using the tin whistle format file ABCexplorer will display the finger patterns for the Tablature Button

tin whistle. The “whistle_new.fmt” is included with the ABCexplorer program.

The ABCexplorer program is an excellent tool for learning the Hall Crystal Flute or tin whistle.
ABCexplorer contains no advertising and is completely free. You can download ABCexplorer from the
link below.
If you would like to use this book with ABCexplorer, the link for the free ABC file is available below.
ABC notation is a system designed to notate music in plain text format. It was designed primarily for
folk and traditional tunes of Western European origin (such as English, Irish and Scottish) which can
be written on one stave in standard classical notation. At the time of this writing around 390,000
tunes, available as free sheet music or midi sound files, are available on the ABC notation website.

About This Book:
This book uses the D fingering for all the songs, but can be used with all sizes and keys of crystal
flutes. D fingering is standard for the crystal flute as it places the notes on the middle of the staff
and makes it much easier to read. When used with an instrument that is not in the key of D, the
finger pa erns become transposing fingering. The song will be transposed up or down according to
the key of the instrument that is being played.
Accidental Notes:
For most six hole flutes and whistles, the diatonic notes will all finger the same. However, you may
find varia on in the fingering of the accidental notes. You may have be er results using an alternate
fingering for some of these notes. The chart below shows several op onal fingerings for you to try.
While the best effort has been made to pick the best fingering for each song, not all of the alternate
fingerings will work on all flutes and whistles. You need to pick the one that sounds the best, or for
fast passages, the one that is the easiest to finger.
Veiled or Half holed notes:
By varying the seal of the lowest covered hole, the flute can slide from one note to the next. The
correct pitch for a semitone is formed when the tone hole is about one quarter covered. These
notes are tuned by the player and are best played by stopping the air with your tongue un l the
finger is in the correct posi on.

 HALL STANDARD FINGERING CHART HANDCRAFTED IN

CRYSTAL FLUTES
for use with all Hall Crystal Flutes and Piccolos
If you are playing the Hall Crystal Flute in D, this chart will play the exact notes shown below. If
you are playing the Hall Crystal Piccolo in D the actual notes played will be one octave higher than
U& A
D
shown below. For all other Hall Crystal Flutes and Piccolos, you can use this chart as a transposing
chart. The D fingering chart is the standard because it places the notes in the center of the music
staff making the music easier read. The keys of D and G are easily played using the D chart and
are common keys for Irish and folk music.
