Thank you! That’s super helpful!

A brass low D just turned up on the Irish flute store for $1500 ! !!!

As an Irish man, trad singer, whistle, banjo and mando player, you would do very well in any trad session here!!

A fife or flute????

just needed to say you sound like seth macfarlane/Brian from family guy if no one's ever said that. great playing

Thanks for the answer! I am a month into learning Irish flute (my wife gifted me a Doug Tipple flute) and I was given some exercises ti do and that I should aim for a reedy sound. Now I have an idea what to aim for

You made me laugh a lot when you threw away the Original Clarke😂.

Scottish music called and they want you to play all the fast tunes in A

What key Is this Whistle in? and is there a tutorial for it on your channel?

Это восхитительно 😍 Спасибо💕

Picard’s resican flute

This is a good recomandation! I did exactly the same: Clarke -> Lir and for now i‘m perfectly happy :) (For now … 🌝)

It's more a question of technique and the geometry of the flute instead of material.

MY SCHOOL TIN WHISTLE

Love this. First rendition I've really enjoyed after Liam O' Flynn's rendition stole my heart a few years ago.

I really wish I could learn to play a whistle. Do you offer classes?

You Don want a really cheep whistle, don't sound great but, I have a Tony Dixon and it's a older and brass and plays beautiful. A better one than this one ha's But I tried to get a Bb from Tony Dixon just months ago but, twice I was sent a miss marked A whistles. They were marked Bb, but were clearly A whistles and match perfectly the old A Tony Dixon. But if you could ever find a A whistle brass, older Tony Dixon model, then you have a gem. I have the miss mark A whistle that is aluminum and tuneable and it also sounds nice, better than this one but, not as nice and clear as the beautiful A brass Tony Dixon. They aren't really expensive, they are like €90.

The A whistle is my favourite to play!

Lovely! I love the sound of Lir. Sadly my A is noticeably out of tune but I got it used so I can hardly return it.

Nice man!

Thank you❣️

The Mr Bean mouth

Thanks; one can get sharps and flats on the tin whistle but........that takes practice. Any jig tutorial would be welcome.

My ear is very much not trained, but I love the sound of this whistle, crisp and clear!

Awesome.

Where do I get an A whistle? And whic one is the cheapest?

Very Cool.

Are they generally used more to instantly transpose a tune to a different key without changing the fingerings?

Playing in a ceili band is loads of fun! I hope you can get yours back together.

Awesome! Very beautiful tune. Thank you

Can you do a video on your process of learning a tune? Thank you

C is a popular tuning for uilleann flat sets. But they are very rarely every played with other musicians.

Nashville Ceili band?! That's sweet.

Pleasant is exactly the last thing everyone at my co op (other than me of course) would use to describe a tin whistle Beautiful instrument 😎

Nice breathy tone on that Lir

Very useful if you like Eluveitie

help I despised learning tin whistle in primary 😭

Very nice

i have needed this video since grade 5

My brain is breaking from it.

I bought the Optima Cobre whistle in D. It is definitely a nicer instrument than my $20-$50 whistles. I think it was around $120 plus shipping maybe another $20 or so. Fantastic copper whistle, it plays great and makes clear and quality tones with very little effort to blow into it, feels great, holes play great and in tune with itself very accurately.

I don’t have one but I feel like I would find a way to smack my teeth

❤❤❤

I came here hoping the J cut was some sort of advanced whistle ornamentation.

💚

Well…it helps me be more intentional when I make videos. Now just to get better at filming them

I have no clue what a J cut or an L cut is, and I absolutely guarantee you that I'll never think of them again. Amen.

I love my MK Pro to bits.

Very cool! Thanks for recommending to start here! I'm excited to start this journey!

The d ‘whistle’ is in the same key as the c classical flute. The whistle doesn’t have the c at the bottom.
