MK Pro Low D Whistle - Game Of Thrones Title Sequence Tin Whistle Tutorial

[@Massaphan]

This tutorial is by far and away the best I've seen of any tutorial channel. It gives me exactly everything I want from a tutorial along with some of your personality without it getting in the way of learning. Fantastic!

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Massaphan Thank you 😃 so glad you like it! x

[@f1948s]

You are just beautiful and so gracious to share this video and the music. I am sold out to MK whistles due to your videos. I recognized the red heart in the background for my daughter has one of those too. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@robgoodson7506]

I just picked up the low/penny whistle again after years of not playing at all. I played when I was in the army. Now i use it as part of my ptsd treatment. Thank you for teaching me.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

You're welcome :) I'm so glad I could help. Happy playing. x

[@robgoodson7506]

CutiePie.... you've helped more then you know. Your doing great things and I just encourage you to keep it up. Thank you.

[@warpchylde]

Now, that is great! I don´t know how this could possibly be improved upon :) I got my low D whistle on it´s way from Sweden as we speak and in a weeks time or so I should finally be ready to follow your videos properly. I am an old saxophone player and the fingering is very similar to the one on the whistle, so I´m hoping it will all come back rather quickly. This is hugely appreciated, seeing the fingering and the notes makes it just perfect to follow. I will put in a request for a song later on, when I´ve actually got a whistle to play and I´ve gotten some practice in :) But once again, thank you very much for all the effort you put into your videos.

[@nipponsensei]

İ couldn't afford the mk low D whistle but i bought a cheap D one. I will start with that and safe more for my target :)))

[@kathydanvers9205]

Hi... I've been teaching myself penny whistle but love the richer tones of the low D. Can you tell me if it takes significantly more lung capacity for the low d & whether you find the finger spacing difficult or did at first? Thank you! 😊

[@chelsi7147]

It depends on the Low D. I have a Susato. Super easy to hit 2nd octave with little breath. I found it harder to hit the first octave D to he honest. I also have a Dixon. Super light but takes more air to hit the 2nd octave. Very easy first octave. I also have a MK Kelpie. That is heavier and takes more air. I find myself pinching my lips tighter especially in the 2nd octave. Definitely takes the most breath but it sounds the deepest and has a very rich tone. If your looking for less air and light I recommend a Susato Low D. I hope that helps. Happy Whistling!!!!

[@RAHUL-DAS-101]

Awesome video...👍 super easy to follow. Please play "The Lonely Shepherd" and teach us it's tabs...

[@bmiatarola]

[@kenniclown3103]

It's possible the studio changed the speed of the music track for the opening sequence so as to match the length of the video. That could change the pitch slightly.

[@pradhanbalter3796]

Hi Stephanie! First of all, thanks for your all that you do here on your channel. It's very obvious that you love the Tin Whistle. I am a newbie, but totally immersed. This particular video, you make reference to being one of your first. Well...anyway, 2 things: I notice in this video for D+, you don't lift the top finger. Am I imagining that? I know I can get the same sound with/without the top finger raising. Is that legal? A shortcut? Also, I am looking for simple exercises to practice. Am I missing them on your channel? Or have you opted to leave that to others? Or am I blind? Thanks again. I enjoy your joy!

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the channel. Yes, you can play high D either way, some whistles play better with the top hole open, others not so much. As for exercises, I don't personally do any, as I don't really have time 🤣 but I've heard scales are good, up and down. It depends on what you want to improve on really, if you want to improve on half holes, practice them, ornaments - practice them, speed...well, you get the idea 😉

[@pradhanbalter3796]

@@CutiepieTinWhistle Well that was quick! Thanks so much. I am really inspired by the instrument and you're a big part of that. And yes, I get the idea. I am glad I am not blind!

[@brendadrew834]

New tin whistle player here although I've studied music and have played the piano for a great many years and am a composer. Question...why is your D tin whistle so big? I didn't know they made them that big. It's much bigger than my D whistle....does a larger one produce a lower richer sound? My goal is to play all the old Irish Scottish airs/ballads I've played on the piano for decades. I love the slow deeper sounds of a D whistle...very plaintive and bucolic sound! Thanks for your great videos and tips...much appreciated!

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Brenda Drew hello. Yes, my green MKpro is a 'low D' whistle - an octave lower than your regular D tinwhistle. They're more expensive and a little tougher to play, bit they make a lovely sound. I have lots of videos on my channel playing the low D, and some where I play a high D too so have a little browse and you'll hear the difference 😄 Try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZK1mKB_Zpt7e7M

[@davidsutherland4567]

Probably it doesn't sound like the title theme on TV is because I understand that the "whistle" was actually an Ocarina!

Cutiepie s right 😁👍

[@ugomorisset5913]

Same remark that on your other video : ur fingering work and it sound close of the way it's played, but it's not the "good" note at the "good" moment, so why not, but it's the way your interpret it. And to play in the same tune the good whistle gonna be the Bb because of the Cm tune.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

A lot of viewers are beginners, so only have a D whistle. That's often why I make an easier version of the song and play in D, so beginners can play along 😊

ryanowens1976 two years yes, though it's definitely my instrument, I just clicked with the whistle 😃 I struggle with a lot of things too though, I'm rubbish at reels, haha.

[@hellsingmongrel]

@@ahmbilal This is a Tin Whistle, but they're also called Penny Whistle, Irish Whistle, or a wide variety of other names. Most whistles you'll find are smaller, and they play higher octaves then this one. You can get decent ones of that size for as low as $10, but when you start to look for the low instruments, the price starts to go up pretty quick. You'll just have to search online for "low tin whistle" and see what comes up. You may find some in the $70 range. The most common one you'll find is a "low d," which will play most songs you'll find sheet music for whistles for.
