Hi Keith,
That is the problem with the knuckle method, you really need to adjust it once you get away from the 7/8 bore flutes and then if your like me it still doesn’t work all that well. You need for an 1/2 inch bore to find a seven year old kid and use their knuckles. LOL I just did a high E from a 1/2 inch bore and it turned out fine although I could have moved the bottom hole a little further south so the upper holes wouldn’t be so close together. That seven year old could easily play it but it is a little tight for me. My rule of thumb is that the top hole has to be further away from the tsh than hole one is from the foot. I did a quick check on naflutomat and came up with a small hole of .123 at hole six and it was at about 2 3/4 so my guess is that yes you would end up having problems with the top hole only 1 1/2 inches from the tsh. For one thing it would be very small like a pin hole plus it may not play at all.
Just my two cents worth,
Larry
