Low Whistle May Morning Dew (Slow Air)

[@ChrisMcMullan]

What do you think of the new Low Whistle video? Let me know what you think :)

[@pontifexinferno]

What low whistle do you use/recommend, by the way?

[@gogotrololo]

It was done beautifully! I've picked up the whistle again this week after 15 years, and this song is being added to my "must learn" list. Really glad your channel popped up in one of my youtube searches, you're an inspirational player for someone like me.

Colin Goldies Whistles :)

[@ChrisMcMullan]

That's amazing!! Glad your enjoying the videos 🙂

[@JackyHeijmans]

Hi Chris! I had a longer add in front of your video, and since that is the only way for me to give back a little, I let it run, and walked away from my pc. Then I heard you play, and I "saw" you play on a cliff by the waterside somewhere, in the middle of nowhere... That is how it sounded to me, magical, taking you to places.. Beautiful! Thank you!!! Much love! 🤗

[@randallroberts3264]

This rivals Phil Hardy's version, which I've been listening to for some time now. Melancholy never sounded so good. Beautiful...

[@kimeecleaton]

Gorgeous! I'm getting back into playing various wind instructions and it's lovely having inspiration like this ❤

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Thanks very much :)

[@Jokesonyou37]

This made me cry 😢 bravo 👏 absolutely stunning piece

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Thanks for listening

Tears I’m afraid, touches the soul.

[@pontifexinferno]

Ah dang I miss playing low whistle. Thank you for reminding me, and for making such a lovely piece for me to listen to on a dreary day.

[@nancyworld4391]

Oh man, that is some PLAYING there! I'm adding you to my list of low whistle masters. ❤

[@davidririe4111]

I usually hate all the extra stuff of arrangements and extra instruments. This was absolutely beautiful. Thanks!

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Thanks David

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

I think this is one off the most emotive ones you've done so far, class stuff Chris! Maith Thú‎!

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Cheers buddy!!

[@dianeiles6348]

So beautiful ❤listening to that made me feel like I was melting with deep relaxation. Thanks Chris. Definitely will listen when I'm stressed especially. ❤

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ericconyers8972]

Wonderfully played and the accompaniment is beautiful as well. The range of pitches and timbres you can coax out of a metal pipe amazes me. I still have goosebumps. I had to listen to it twice. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world.

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Thank you Eric, Do share if you like aswell 🙂

Could listen to this all day, absolutely breathtaking. Thank you💙

[@jamesdonalfaulkner]

"breathtaking" is the word! :-))

[@Daniel-xx8ps]

Saw one of your kitchen Uillean pipe videos the other day and man, I never heard anything like it before, I was awe struck. You are a blessing Mr McMullan! Greetings from Sweden.

[@Shar_Bandraoi]

I subbed because of this video.. As an Irish gal I appreciate Celtic music. I really feel this, it made my heart happy! It is beautifully played! 🖤💚

[@bearshield7138]

sweet job

[@philipwlarsen6848]

What an absolute beautiful piece, Chris! Stunner.

[@trevorpugh6475]

I can feel the stress slipping away, thanks Chris!

[@covergirlsdk]

I love it, would love to have that whistle sound on my songs .... Its beautiful, I see the mountains and like a bird flying over the cliffs out over the water... love it

[@drew5903]

Hi Chris, your playing is truly awesome. I really appreciate your music as it has a depth to it.

[@Rich..]

Wow... absolutely beautiful

[@bazarista4720]

Wow stunning. I had tears in my eyes listening to this

[@eowenspa2]

Davy has had such a big influence. I like your version Chris, the slow ones need that something extra. Well done

[@sallypyner8007]

Beautiful!!! Literally as you uploaded this, I had an urge to play this for a dear friend who has passed suddenly and tragically. I had been listening to Davy Spillane wondering how he gets that awesome vibrato, searched for a video and you came up. Thank you for this fantastic video, you nail it. Now to see how fast I can move my fingers ;) playing this on a low D, as a flautist where all vibrato came from my lungs and throat. I have whistle envy now too, that Goldie has an amazing sound.

[@tmvandenbroek]

simply wonderful

[@petervandermolen4089]

Haunting piece - exceptionally beautifully played. Thank you so much

[@jessou17450]

Go on and never stop with the new vidéo...one of my favorite tune on lowwhistle..So nice we are dreaming...mister Mullan...thanks

Maith an fear Chris. You're so creative and so talented and so innovative.

[@donatella094]

so, it's taken me about 5 months of watching this vid (on and off), before I realised how you were doing the virbratos on the A (and occasional B) notes... I am soooo trying that trick out this week 😍😍

[@chrisroycroft3485]

It’s just beautiful...

[@sarahrutz5670]

I wish I could have a CD of you playing ❤

Very very beautifully played. Intriguing accompaniment. I don't know if I should go and practice my low whistle for two weeks uninterrupted or just throw it away😜

[@dubgaa2511]

Wow Chris this was absolutely amazing sound, really enjoy this, xx

[@Hare_deLune]

First haha this is going to be awesome as i listen to it!

yeah that was my first "first" ever, how could i pass the opportunity? lol

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hope you liked the video haha Great!

[@galwaytribesman9289]

Top dollar Chris top dollar man :)

[@enonhebel]

Emotional tune and beautifully played. Although I would like to hear your version of May Morning Dew without the keyboard. My guess: it would sound even better.

[@jamesdonalfaulkner]

I agree. I am sure that the keyboard player is very good, but I have long been of the opinion that you cannot mix "mechanical" instruments such as the piano with low whistles, the pipes and such like with their frequent glissandos. Just saying, like!

Hello how can I buy the Low whistle? I’m from the Philippines. Please help

[@ricardomartinez9895]

Hi, what key of Low Whistle and brand is it? I am comparing sounds from different low whistles. Thank you.

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hi, it's a low F Colin Goldie Whistle

[@Dreoilin]

Iontach!

[@soud0076]

Hi. I want to buy the instrument and the hymns of a singer, exercises, preachers, an electric pipe Are you available? And what is its final price online

[@bannedinchina]

Could a musically inept 30 something pick this up with practice? I’d love to play something like this

[@vstr4276]

Should be fine unless you have very tiny hands. It's not technically the hardest instrument out there and practice goes a long way

[@ElijahG98]

Go for it, I've always believed its better to try something that way I dont look back and be like "I wish I learned this (insert thing)". You can get some small whistles for cheap, like Generation D C and Bb. Bb being closet to a low whistle (its in between high and low whistles). Tony dixon 1 piece plastic low D isnt the nicest but good starter if you want to start out with a low whistle and not break the bank. Theres lots of tutorials out there. Best of luck.

[@hughardara2867]

Go for it, I'm 57 and 2 weeks into practicing, love it when a few notes sound ok, using a spare room to practice and not piss everyone else off, go for it! You have to start from somewhere!

[@nicolaslemire6738]

What are you using for recording ? What is your mic ?

[@ashleighshort5781]

Is there anywhere to find sheet music for this? I’m so blown away by its beauty. Thank you Chris :)

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Throw me an email :) I should have some sheet music for it yes. [e-mail]

[@jamesdonalfaulkner]

@@ChrisMcMullan Hi Chris, I have been meaning to write to you for a while to request lessons from your good self on the pipes. Your interpretation of May Morning Dew has now inspired me to action. I play the uilleann pipes and am privileged to own a set by Cillian very similar to yours. However, I am, first and foremost, a singer-guitarrist-bouzoukiist and prefer to play slower, emotional airs on the pipes - often singing along with them. (I believe that I am actually one of the last pipers in Ireland to maintain the tradition of singing with the pipes. Correct me if I am wrong. ) And so I would greatly appreciate some help from you with respect to ornamention, efficient blowing, etc on the pipes. Do you still have any slots available? Best wishes, Jim Faulkner

[@niklasdaffinrud]

Any chance that you upload this to your Spotify? Would really love to add it to my playlist :)

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hi Niklas, possibly. I could add it to bandcamp I think.

[@smctunes]

This was so good. I’m getting into the tin whistle and would love to know the details of the one you play here. Is it a Goldie F? If so, is it a soft/medium blower? I’m trying to figure out what the nuances are. Thanks!

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hi, yes its a goldie F and a medium/hard blower

[@smctunes]

@@ChrisMcMullan Thank you.

[@AmySmith-dn1xg]

Do you give lessons? I used to play and now just getting back into it. Need to learn your embellishments.

@@ChrisMcMullan thanks! I have been in the market for a new whistle

[@mowzrascal2350]

What key is the whistle?

[@ChrisMcMullan]

It's a low F whistle :)

[@harrymcgill2729]

Very interested in what you are doing with your hands. You seem to be crossing them over and playing some of the top three holes with your right index finger? Never seen that before. Are you doing it for speed?

[@ChrisMcMullan]

I actually, didn't release I was doing it until after. I think it's because my index can move faster for more vibrato.

[@laurencepakenham-smith8623]

Nice! What’s the make of the whistle?

[@ChrisMcMullan]

It's a Colin Goldie.

[@precursors]

Hi is this low whistle C? I want to start learning low whistles and I liked the sound of low whictle D at first but they’re too big and I have slim finters. The one you’re playing doesn’t look as large as D but still sounds great

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hi, it's a low F by Colin Goldie. Thank you

[@joekrepps]

Good. Lord. ....I didn't think ANYONE could top Davey Spillane's version or John McSherry's version or Phil Hardy's version!!! Sweet baby Jesus....YOU beat them, hands down. A question for you please. I already play the whistle, tenor D's and a Low D. What key did you play this in? My mom is probably on her way to Heaven in the coming years. I'd _LOVE_ to play this "when the time comes". I've got the score for this but I know it's in a key that I don't have yet. Is it a Low G? It's got a beautiful tone. Bright but not harsh. Love the accompaniment too. Slainte!!

[@ChrisMcMullan]

Hey Joe, thank you for the kind comments. It's a Low F whistle. Appreciate the support. Feel free to subscribe 👍

[@joekrepps]

@@ChrisMcMullan I learn something new every time I watch this, in regards to technique. Very clever to slide your right hand up so your right index finger can create vibrato instead of the ring finger of you left hand. That's something I've struggled with - trying to create vibrato with my left, non-dominant hand. Great presence of mind to move your left hand to create room for your right, then move it back down. Cheers!

[@kcc879]

Is that a low d?

[@ChrisMcMullan]

It's a low F Whistle 🙂
