I'm writing a part for penny whistle using Garritan's "Clark's Penny Whistle in G" that came with Finale 25.

It's not responding to dynamics or volume control. It's constantly playing FFF.

Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

It works for me, so to figure out your problem I guess you'll need to post a small sample.

No need. Somebody has had the same problem, maybe with another instrument, and will answer.

Just a guess-

Go to the Score Manager and make sure the Pennywhistle is assigned to its own channel.

Clark's Pennywhistle in G did not come with my installation of Finale 25. This must by an instrument in GPO. The Pennywhistles that come in GIfF respond properly to dynamics.

I found it: "Clarke Pennywhistle" is the way it is listed in my program.

Suit yourself. If you want your question answered, though, this is the best way.

Here's a demo of the Clarke Pennywhistle with dynamics playing back properly.

Check. It's got it's own channel.

So far I've removed and reloaded the instrument. Nothing. Now I'm trying Irish Flute. Just
as bad. These instruments don't respond to the mixer or dynamics for volume.

Exactly! Very, very loud and It doesn't respond to the volume control in Studio View or the mixer.
The sample you posted starts a p but on my computer it starts at fff and increases with the
hair pins.

I guess it's the nature of the beast. I'll just use a regular flute since I only want it for playback.

Thanx for the suggestion.

If you had a file we could test, we might be of greater help. It sounds like it is your system, as everything works fine on mine.
