SETANTA LOW WHISTLES REVIEW - D, E, Eb + SOUND SAMPLES

[@Atomic-Lola]

I’ve been bingeing all your reviews; thank you for being so thorough with each one! Even if I can’t actually own ALL the whistles, it’s fun to be nerdy and learn about them 😊

[@Teguvas]

Those rubber rings are called "O" rings, as long as you know the size you can buy bags of them quite cheaply.

[@lisahartman2276]

Greetings Stephanie. I have a daughter named Stephanie. I just purchased a low G whistle. I have a low D and 5 high d tin whistles. I play at a local coffee place in Ohio US. Keep on posting your videos your awesome. TWEET.

[@tobyspreadborough6714]

Hey there! Thank you so much for doing a review of these whistles! I’m planning on purchasing the low D and high D as I need a new high whistle 😂 Looks and sounds fab as always! Cheers 🙂

[@sahamal_savu]

So many great whistle makers nowadays, these look and sound quite good.

[@Martin.W.F]

They sound pretty good. They also look very similar to the Chieftain Thunderbird line, especially the mouthpiece. Even the plastic cases looks identical to what Phil Hardy ships his whistles with.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Dixon whistles come in similar plastic boxes. It feels smoother in mouth than a Chieftain but it's a similar shape and sound 😊

[@heliopijpe]

Yeah does sound similar to the Chieftains

[@f1948s]

Thank you CP. Your reviews are greatly appreciated. Love your cheerfulness and talent.

[@ytliekb]

Nicely done as always! Holidays are near.

[@jamesdominicmusic4632]

Very nice Stephanie Looks and sounds great...well done

[@melodywhistle9017]

Sounds soooo soft and warm. Thank you for this review! Can't afford it unfortunatly, but looking forward to see your playing \O/

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

That'll be the mastering which makes all whistles sound more or less the same

[@TinWhistleTV]

the bag alone would be a great addition to whistle collection as their isnt much of a variety of bags to buy.

[@thehappybard2810]

Could you make a video on how to play turn loose the mermaids by nightwish

[@aaronhall5380]

o-rings are the term for the rubber and they can be purchased for pennies at the hardware store or Amazon. they need to remain lubricated to sustain long life with any non petroleum based gel lubricant like for spark plugs which can be purchased at automotive store

[@davidmolloy126]

Hiya Stephanie, Great review, thanks very much. I've been looking at the Setanta high whistles for a couple of months on the Mcneela/ Killarney whistles website. I asked about them and they told me that they can supply a 'beginners' fipple with a 7mm mouthpiece for lower air requirements, on request for the same price. Love the jumper. David 😎❤️🎶

[@z35films]

That low E whistle is incredible! But $300 is a little steep for me. @cutiepie Do you have any recommendations on a more budget friendly low E whistle?

[@rytheguy1800]

Do you have a tutorial on how you master the sound?

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

I do indeed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4C9pXiAbtmZsK8

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]

your ears must've been burning CutiePie I was Just Discussing with another one of your Subscribers how you haven't Uploaded a new video in a while, we were concerned about your health, glad to see your doing well.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

I was been busy with work last week unfortunately and just didn't find a moment to play. Thank you for your concern though 😊

[@RajithaRajan]

Loved your reviews, thank you so much Stephanie. ❤️ I look forward to many more whistle reviews from you. 👌👍😊

[@joelmontgomery3242]

Are the keys of Eb and E useful in Irish or folk music?

[@BigFatDynamo82]

I love the ornaments you include in the Ashokan Farewell. Gorgeous.

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

"Ashokan Farewell" is one of my favorites with the violin, concertina and harmonica. It sounds really nice on the tin whistle too. 😉By the way, for those who may not know, Jay Ungar's 1982 "Ashokan Farewell" was used for the title theme in Ken Burns' 1990 PBS miniseries, “The Civil War." 😊 ♫

[@xenedraabourque1393]

Hey, I ordered a Setanta low whistle in D and I think it's ruined. I received my package and it was all water-logged. The case is soaked and the inside of the whistle was dripping 💦 wet. When trying to dry it out, I looked inside the flute body and I saw what looked similar to rust, it was all white patches inside the flute. I can't believe this low D whistle came to me in this condition. The outer packaging was only bubble wrap, and the plastic cases were soaked and so was the zippable cases, the product was completely soaked. The red/burgundy colored paper that was wrapped around the whistle was so damp it was just tearing up when I was trying to take it off the flute. Did your package come the same way or was it dry and in a protective box? The bag has been hanging up to dry all night and when I checked with my finger tips this morning the inside of the bag is still damp. I've tried to get a hold of the manufacturer to tell them the conditions of my whistle and have still not received a response. It's alot of money to loose if the product is ruined/damaged when I first received it.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

I can't imagine water could damage a whistle and make it unplayable within the short postal timeframe, so the good news is, you should hopefully be able to play the whistle, though of course, no item should arrive like this. I'm guessing this is a postal service problem, where the item has been mishandled or left out in the rain/floods. That's something you'll need to take up with the Setanta, who will hopefully have postal insurance to cover damage to the items in transit.

[@judyevoy4312]

hi. i am looking for a place to buy blank tin whistle tablature paper

[@pearseobyrne]

Thank you Stephanie for a wonderfully interesting video, I shall immediately contact Setanta. I've wanted to get a low whistle for ages and your playing has pushed me over the edge. Slán 's beannacht., Pearse

[@CoolaJokern]

I want to learn tin whistle to play something like the one in skellig by loreena mckennit. Can you guide me to an affordable alternative please

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Are you looking for a Low whistle or a high whistle? If you're just starting out, I usually recommend a Clarke Sweetone in D, it's easy to learn on and they're usually under £10.

[@rdouglas1965]

I just watch to hear your performances. :-) Very nice. Have you reviewed Howard Low Ds before?

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

I haven't tried a Howard whistle yet. Hopefully get round to it some day.

[@mazkraut9776]

That would be nice! :) I have a Howard low D and it's probably my most idiosyncratic low whistle. I find it not easy to play.

[@rdouglas1965]

@@mazkraut9776 It's the only low D whistle I have, and I have wondered about that. It's been a challenge for me, most especially going from the b to the octave d...

[@mazkraut9776]

@@rdouglas1965 I struggled with mine for a long time, thinking this low whistle playing was really difficult... Then I didn't play for a few years and when I started it up again I bought a Kerry Optima when they were on special offer. The Optima plays like a dream! I picked up the Howard again, and although I got a bit better on it, it was still really difficult to play cleanly on it. Since then I've bought another few low whistles, and the Howard remains the most challenging one. It might be the really big holes, especially on the left hand. Try another los D if you have the chance to, if nothing else just to get a comparison.

[@3Dhyana]

I’m a beginner. If the same song were used for each whistle I would be able evaluate the sound better. TY

[@MarcDufresneosorusrex]

I knew I would enjoy the Eb scale.. just listen to that... (Eb scale sound I mean.. )it's the best xd 11:24 min you can play two octaves.. by pinching the lips?

[@gelflingmusic9428]

¿How do you add mastered sound to the video?

[@leewmlee]

Got the error msg "this video is unavailable on the device" on an android tablet

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Not sure why...

[@ShaneMcFerran_]

It says Eb at 12:02 instead of D

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

It's just an editing glitch on the text in the video. The whistle at 12:02 is the D :)

[@davidhunt6508]

It also says D at 10:47 instead of Eb.

[@ShaneMcFerran_]

@@CutiepieTinWhistle no, problem, you played the whistle that well that I didn't notice at first glance, 👏

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

@@ShaneMcFerran_ Thank you :) that's very sweet of you. I've actually done the same thing for the Eb whistle too :D haha, I suppose that's what you get for rushing to get a video out. It's been crazy here for weeks :D

[@ShaneMcFerran_]

@@CutiepieTinWhistle that's totally fine! So good

[@ShaneMcFerran_]

Thanks

[@sylvainmauron2410]

Thanks a lot

[@jobarrieglenn]

I have this set,but There is no way I can play the low D. My fingers are far too skinny. I also have the high D which I love. I bought them from Paraic McNeela in Dublin. Customer service is the best.

[@user-nx6ru1rj6k]

These are made out of aluminum which is a toxic heavy metal for the body. I would not want to put aluminum in my mouth. Any comments on this. Any place to get the same in brass? Thanks-

[@AndieArbeit]

it seems like the makers still needs to improve their design in order to get more volume sound

[@johnpitt9749]

I want the gigantic bag to tote around my sundry cheap Dixons ...

[@johnpitt9749]

@Christopher Robins Cool! I'll look for that!

[@MoominGhoul]

The logo bugs me because if looks like a Roman soldier, which Setanta was definitely not.

[@stephenchalmers71]

Actually, it looks more Greek than Roman.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Today I am going to be reviewing ... Satanic Whistles! :D

[@sorchamundy1994]

OMG it's Hermoine only older!

[@fartwrangler]

These look and sound very nice. But given the size and the price (over $600 US for the 3-whistle set), you might be better off buying an actual concert flute -- and then you can play in /all/ keys. BTW, they sound better /without/ all the digital reverb.
