Hi, it’s a low D whistle made by Colin Goldie ( listed on website as tenor D whistle)They are a top end make , handmade and very expensive.If you want a more affordable but good sounding whistle have a look at Phil Hardy from Kerrywhistles playing their Kerry Optima low D ( non tuneable version about 70 euros at time of writing if you buy it direct from Kerrywhistles ).I own one of these.Tony Dixon and James Dominic are other whistles in that price range you might want to check out but I have never played their low D although I own whistles by them in other keys .Their lower whistles have a softer sweeter sound which seems to characterize PVC whistles as opposed to aluminum ones

Thank you for the praise. Really appreciated.

@@silbenklempner Greetings from Ireland , wonderful playing of a special air . Well done .

See description. A little innocent tune written by myself.

@@silbenklempner I love your tune so much, sir. I really want to learn it. May I have the music sheet?

Thanks for that, Sergent. I still marvel over the fact that my clip from the Stone Age of KZbin still gets views. Have fun!

@@silbenklempner From the Stone age ah ah ah ...

Thank you Stephen.

Thanks, Tom. Your thumbs-up means a lot to me. In all fairness, noise is a bit over-emphasized on the recording...

Another jealous english ('rabbiting on' is an English saying)

@@hupk5669 I would say British saying like jocks definitely use it, but not sure what you mean by jealous, I’m on about the crowd talking during performance you plonker

Huh, someone watching in 2019?? Thanks Matteo. I have long since sold the drones (kept the chanter). AFAIK Kenny doesn't do C sets now, but I have seen and heard some of his C and B sets and have been impressed. Maybe a bit functional designwise, but, hey, that's what counts, right? Have fun.

@@silbenklempner ahah yeah, 2019 gang rise up! I'm interested in one of his D sets actually. With "a bit functional design wise" do you mean they sacrifice aesthetic for functionality? :)

Take time to note the fingering. How close he keeps his fingers to the whistle.Not like a lot of contemporary players who throw their fingers in the air for effect. 🤐🤐🤐🤐

Thanks for your kind words, John. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your kind words, Ross. Any chance for a vid of you playing your Wooff set?

+silbenklempner Yes, but in a month or so, as I have to work out a little tachnicap problems and reed tunings. Ross

Thanks for that, stephen!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Of course, the bottom note on a Bb whistle will sound as Bb. What I tried to get across is that when you learn tunes from sheet music you should ignore the different keys altogether. So-called "transposing" instruments (e.g. whistles, clarinets, saxophones, brass instrument) take sheet music more or less as tablatures, so that the same note on the staff is always played with the same fingering, no matter what note actually sounds. This might be confusing for someone with a background on piano or guitar. I know what I'm talking about, I used to play piano in a swing bigband: "You, Mr. Trumpet, please play a Bb there! "Yeah I'm playing Bb, conductor". "But you play flat". "Oh, you want me to play C?". "If this results in a proper Bb, then yes!":)

Again thankyou. Sorry to be a botherer and probably asking silly questions but Im still learning. I usually play by ear but I wanted to learn to read music which I have managed so thats great. Untangling keys at the moment but Im keeping calm. Help like yours gives me hope, keeps me going and sorts out my problems.

sue, just ignore the fact that you have a whistle in Bb. Just play as if it were a D whistle. That's the way whistlers do it. The bottom note is always D, no matter what key the whistle is in. No need for transcribing. You get it? Good.

thank you so much. I never expected an answer so rapidly - if at all! I will take your advice and play on!

is that what to do,i have been learning the d whistle but im not a fan of playing jogs and reel i love the ballad and air sounds,im going to get a low d but was worried would i enjoy tryin to workout the notes,so i just play as i have been,cool, fare play to ya,hopefully one day i can make a sound worth listening to lol

Hi Sue, where did you find the music score for this air? It's gorgeous

sue rockett Thank you!

First, some meaningless noodling. After that I think it's "Green fields of Canada (Air)" and finally Aggie Whyte's (Reel).

+silbenklempner yea that's what I was looking for thanks
