So beautiful, such sympathetic playing and interpretation. If I had any, the hairs on the back of my neck would have stood up for sure.! How do you bend those notes so accurately and with such control? Partial covering of the holes (half tones/quarter tones etc) or is it decreased air control? Or maybe a bit of both?

A beautiful air, beautifully played. I have that exact same whistle, it doesn't sound so sweet when I play, and it's not just the reverb patch(!) Great stuff, great embouchure, great air control - thanks for this!

This is by far the best rendition of this tune on YT and the one I'll be using as my template. Other musicians incorporate far too many grace notes (twiddly bits) which detract from the wonderful basic melody. With this performance, less is definitely more.

Hey Shaun, what a beautiful lament and what a gorgeous rendering of it, full of expression and emotion. I would love to learn it myself. Is there sheet music for it anywhere? Google doesnt seem to know this lament by that name.

Hy Shaun, i am Steven from Italy, i like ear flute from a few time. J am 65 years old and i like to sing for myself amusement. Before i had singed like tenor in a good classic chorus. I am learning to contruct little flutes in bamboo of river and i am in good way for results. I have liked very much your music and i have tweetted with you without flute. What do you think about the possibility of grow up in this pratic? Compliments i hope in your replay, bye. Excuse my horrible English that arrive form middle little studies.
