Irish Reel Medley (Tin Whistle)

My first attempt in making something more or less complete.
Reels played: Cooley's reel, With Ourselves (Johnny Harling's), Roscommon reel.

I really don't know how this got 85 dislikes this is what I call perfection best version off both these reels I've ever heard amazingly talented musician on the whistle wow that's what I call playing a whistle bodhran so subtle and simple yet so perfect great background it really doesn't get any better this amazingly beautiful

[@BoundlessEyes]

I reckon people don't realise the breathy playing is the Irish style... some people like that clean crisp whistle sound... madness I tells you. I like that Celtic woodiness. :)

[@emma_em_11]

Ahhhh… there’s NOTHING like the sound of The *TERRIFIC* tin whistle to make me TAP my toes, whilst making a cup of TEA! 😀 lol.

[@micanikko]

I just bought a Tin Whistle today! I've always looked for this instrument because I was captivated by its sound. As soon as I saw the flute, I had to check if this was the instrument I've always chased after! It matched and I bought it! I'm gonna practice with it as much as I can! :D Its not too far off from the Filipino Bamboo flute when it comes to playing. So ive already learned some of the basics. I'm really excited to learn more!

[@IdontKnow-bq2qe]

Same

[@happytrails5342]

I was gonna get a harmomica because I love the sound of bag pipes. You know if you make that connection lol I might be crazy, but now I found this and all I want to do is get it to play Amazing Grace

[@mrbrian826]

How are you getting along with it? I used to play it in school and i am picking it up again after some time. Can't do any ornamentation to save my life!.

[@Peach_beach]

Oh shiiit a Homestuck in 2020

[@patriciacampbell32]

Yes keep practicing you will get the hang off it I love whistles and bordhans I play both the d whistles great key to start in get the basic tune when you can play it play it as fast as you can trust me this helps and saves time on practicing plus if you play it fast then playing slow will be no bother then slow it down to proper speed then you can put in your cuts and slides double tap certain notes slide your finger off some off the notes to vibrate the whistle if your playing 3 fingers down g not leave one hole between notes uncovered the e the 5th note always tap the second note down from what your playing good luck

[@sukey31]

I ordered a tin whistle yesterday. Might put this on my “eventually” list

[@happytrails5342]

Yeah I ordered 2 because I heard the first was quite as easy to play as the second, but now in college I find the time is taken up by so many things. So this IS a someday haha

[@Jessie_Helms]

HappyTrails 1 eh I made the mistake of ordering it from Townsends... their more expensive stuff is nice but their cheap stuff is, well, cheap. I’m 90% sure it’s the flute, not me, as I can only make sound with it when squeezing it with so much force I’m worried I’ll bend it and blowing at an extremely specific angle.

[@happytrails5342]

@@Jessie_Helms dang, thats how I feel about the first one. It would be nice if I had the time for a tutor but I'm all about learning myself to🤣🤣 and that isn't going to hot Good luck to you!

This is an incredible performance! I'm a long time woodwind player, but this video inspired me to pick up the tin whistle for the first time and am thrilled at how naturally it came to me. I'm practicing Cooley's Reel right now and would love to eventually play it like you do. Do you by chance have a link to the background drums and strings used in this video so i could practice playing with it?

[@malcador6193]

Hi James. Unfortunately I've lost the files for the track. But I wish you good luck in learning this instrument, also you should eventually try low whistle, it has such lovely sound.

[@Maximillian1329]

@@malcador6193 No worries, the progression is pretty simple so i can figure something out. And yeah, I'm practicing with a high D whistle right now but i intend to try out a lower one too. Any recommendations on which brands and key you prefer?

[@malcador6193]

@@Maximillian1329 Also this track is played with whistle in Bb. So you won't be able to play it along the music with a D whistle.

[@michaelpreston233]

What part of Ireland would this style be from?

[@bustabloodvessel5327]

All four corners of the country. Ireland has a rich musical tradition and a lot of effort goes into preserving it and passing it on. Some of the tunes would be known by almost every trad musician which makes it a lot easier for people to play together. It's a sharing type of music and the best enjoyment comes from playing with people who you've just met but all of you are connected by knowing the same music.
