James Dominic low whistle review AND GIVEAWAY

[@jamesdominicmusic4632]

Hi Sean I have only seen the review today...Thankyou so much for your time and talent.... and my inspiration is Davy Spillane who was the Low whistle player in Riverdance...

[@whistletutor]

Thanks for a cool whistle to play around with!

[@FiddlingwithmyWhistle]

sounds great :)

[@antonijasiczek6167]

Olraith McAuliffe doing Lord Gordon’s Reel with harp is the reason I’m a whistle player now, and hers is the style I try to imitate the most. She plays so incredibly, and I just find her playing so fun and special. I also really love hearing Seamus Egan, Vinnie Kilduff, and Mary Bergin, *to name a few.* And I love the fun way that Brian Finnegan plays!! (Also, Flook is awesome!)

[@lifeon6legs21]

Being fairly new my inspiration is not a single person. Being proud of my Irish roots, I begun researching the history, food, and music. I was drawn to the whistle because it can produce both joyful and haunting music that was very attractive to me. Thank you for your videos.

[@jey1401]

I play the tin whistle for 3 years. It all began with a few weeks of holidays in Ireland. I came back with a whistle and McCullough's book. I'm learning everyday from records of John Sheahan, Paddy Maloney, videos from you and TinWhistler.

[@lj1088]

I've only just started playing/practising the tin whistle a couple months ago. When I was a little girl I loved (and I still love) The Corrs. Especially the instrumental pieces with tin whistles. Now I can play a couple songs and I'm absolutely loving it. I have three cheap tin whistles right now, and I bet I'll have a bunch more before the year is over. I don't have a more 'traditional' favorite whistle player just yet, but I'm discovering more songs and artists everyday!

[@mattdeblassmusic]

A lot of my favorites from when I first started paying attention to whistle were also pipers, Liam O' Flynn from Planxty, Neil Anderson from Seven Nations and the piper/lead singer from my old band (I was the bodhran player), but I also really loved Michael McGoldrick's stuff, especially his work on Kate Rusby's albums.

[@Ryush806]

I first got interested in whistles due to the folk metal band Eluveitie. They use traditional tunes as the inspiration for their music. They play basically every Celtic instrument along with typical metal guitars and drums. They have also released two pure folk albums if you’re interested. When the coronavirus lockdowns began and all the shows got cancelled, their whistle player, Matteo Sisti, began offering Skype lessons. I started lessons with him in June. After I started playing I realized I like playing pure trad folk even more than their folk inspired tunes!

[@thisone9]

Finbar! He actually grabbed my cheap Dixon whistle backstage at a local Irish Fest and played the Kesh jig for a few minutes while he did a funny dance. How can I play anything else now?

[@erichajohansson5018]

I like it. I think it sounds very nice. I’ve never played a low D, I’m very much a beginner, but I so low the sound of alto and mezo whistles. Thanks for the review.

[@banjoneck]

I have just started learning the Irish Whistle so I've not followed a lot of players or bands, although over the years I've listened to The Chieftains and Clannad quite a bit. I've just recently discovered Mary Bergin on You Tube and love the light dancing way she plays jigs and reels.Cutie Pie got me started listening to the whistle and interested in trying one out. Then I found your channel when reviewing whistles. You are not bad yourself!!

[@Lelldorin84]

The Dubliners, Whistle tutor, Cutepie and the song "Sailor's hornpipe"

[@paledeerwoman]

I’ve listened to Capercaille for many years now, so Marc Duff has been an inspiration, along with of course McGoldrick and Bergin.

[@whistletutor]

Congratulations, your comment was selected to win the whistle giveaway! Just DM me on here or on Instagram (@Whistletutor) and I'll get an address from you and get it in the mail. Cheers!

[@paledeerwoman]

whistletutor Thank you!!! DM sent via IG.

[@marckealhofer1769]

Mary Bergin was who got me into whistle playing and who still inspires me the most today. As far as emulating though, Bergin’s hard for me simply because I’m not technically advanced enough, although I do work toward her general sound and style. I’m more likely to try to directly emulate youtubers like you or Ryan Duns, or to copy players I like from recorded sessions (and hopefully local sessions again once the bars reopen for live music).

[@PatriciaMiguela]

While I was still in college some 5 years ago, I looked up to James Galway and Viviana Guzman. Those were the masters that I "tried" to emulate. I was an amateur, taking flute lessons as an elective. But all in all, the band that inspired me to study the Flute is The Corrs. My love for melodies started with their celtic/irish inspired sounds. As for the whistle, as cliche as it might be, Mary Bergin is my whistle goddesses. 💕 Im still in the process of learning the whistle well. Learning by yourself is a slow, tedious process but somehow I enjoy it. I keep on listening to a lot of music, including the ones played by the ones I mentioned.

[@nantuckettiechic]

The Chieftains from my childhood, but Mary Bergin since I started playing the tin whistle. I'd love to fly along on the tune like she does!

[@HanemanHunters]

I was inspired to take up learning the whistle by Troy Donockley. His contribution to the sound of Nightwish is invaluable! Great review, I think I might get that low whistle soon :)

[@EdwardXuan]

I've listened to Brian Finnegan ever since I started playing two years ago. Can't really imagine reaching his level, but I'm doing my best and I've learned a lot from listening to him :)

[@tw90210]

I've really been enjoying Orlaith Mcauliffe makes me want to buy a flute.

[@BobNevins420]

I was inspired by my love of world music, and a vacation to Ireland in which I bought my first professional whistle in Kerry. I love Conor Mallon and Joanie Madden.

[@NathanielDowell]

Kevin Crawford, Michael McGoldrick, and Brian Finnegan have probably been my biggest whistle/flute inspirations, and PJ from "TinWhistler" got me hooked on low whistles years ago with their "New Low Whistle Video". Another potential option for flattening the pitch on the Dominic whistle: I've been playing around with using poster putty to create boxed windways for the purposes of strengthening the first octave on some whistles, but a side effect is that it flattens the pitch, so that might work here, provided that the second octave is relatively easy blowing. It should give the first octave a bit more punch as well. By the way, I see you're a Micro 4/3 guy! Nice setup. When I don't just use my phone, I use an Olympus EM-1, although it's not a video beast like the GH5. You do a great job with your productions, and I'm enjoying having more people doing reviews. I'm neither good enough nor polished enough to tempt whistle makers to send me things to review, but maybe someday, when I become a real whistle player...

[@quickdogz]

You are a real whistle player!

[@NathanielDowell]

@@quickdogz Aw, shucks. I should have said "Pro grade", lol. I can play, but I'm too mistake prone. I'm working on it though.

[@ddragonwhistler]

My dad inspired me to play. He played whistle (and drums) in his bluegrass band back in the 70’s. The band was called “Live Wire Choir” And he played a few tunes for performances when I was a toddler.

[@Dungeons_and_Crawdads]

Truthfully I dont have a favorite whistler.. well.. the whistletutor would be one! But listening to a lot of folk music and my nerd music (LOTR and others) really inspired me to learn.. love your videos dude!

[@patrkcirtap]

I saw a video on here with Kevin Crawford playing the tin whistle, and that inspired me to finally get one.

[@EddyW01]

WOW.. I would love a low whistle to learn on. I have hands like hams so struggle with a high whistle. Recently I would have to say Cutiepie aka Stephanie Burton. I love the way like yourself how she helps new whistle players.

[@techcowgirl]

James Galway and Matt Malloy got me started with concert flute and whistle. Now after years, I'm finally getting into low whistle. I'm really glad you reviewed a pvc whistle as I'm thinking about getting one. Goid to hear the tone you can get, makes me think about what tunes i want to play on it.

[@merrykarolyn8668]

I've been inspired by Andrea Corr from The Corrs. I love the way she played.. omg she's like an angel. And i wanna be just like her

[@himasf]

Lately I've been inspired by the weekly live slow sessions by Shannon and Matt Heaton here on KZbin!

[@JackyHeijmans]

Adrian von Ziegler got me to play the whistle. I did not know anything about it, and first bought an alto recorder, thinking it is the right instrument..lol But now I have some tin whistles, and I just bought a second hand James Dominic low D. Don't have it yet, but I hope I can learn the pipersgrip! Thank you for teaching us! Much love! 🤗

[@HymnWhistle]

I really enjoy low whistles in PVC. I play a low D tony Dixon. Similar whistle. Would love this one though to see how different or similar they are.

[@pauljohnston9446]

Ive been wanting to learn to play a penny whistle and stumbled onto your channel a couple of times seeing what i liked the sound of best. ...i tend to like the mellow sounding ones better than the sharp sounding ones ...

[@quickdogz]

Thanks for the vid! It's always helpful to hear whistles played and reviewed for those of us who are not able to physically get to hear it in a music shop (ha! that's pretty much any of us in pandemic times!) and are too cash poor to keep buying online until we find one we like. As for who's my favourite? Tough one. But I like Flook - whistle + flute = awesome!

[@eliolson1177]

Hey! Thanks for all the work you do putting out whistle vids! My two favorite players are Conal O'Grada, and Cormac Breatnach. I love Conal O'Grada's rhythm and the fact that he doesn't seem get too bogged down with ornamentation. I really like that - simplicity and punchy rhythm. Cormac Breatnach has a really jazzy style, or at least what I think of as jazzy...lots of slides and cool rhythms. Alan Doherty is also really great to watch and listen to for the same reason.

[@Photobby]

Ryan Dunn's videos got me interested years ago, I finally got a whistle last summer, but didn't start playing till I found your videos this spring (thank you covid-19). Flook is probably the band that I listen up to stay motivated to keep practicing. I'd love a low D, especially as the weather gets colder and I try to practice inside the house more, I should say my family would probably like it if I got a low d whistle....

[@faye8281]

I had The Inner Light from Star Trek caught in my head one day. I wanted to find out the instrument it was played on. I found a version of it on Cutiepie's channel and ended up ordering a whistle. Both of your KZbin channels have kept me playing. You've inspired me because you have videos for all of the fundamentals that I love learning and playing when starting with an instrument. She's inspired me because I'm a huge nerd and she has videos and tabs for all the songs that I love. :)

[@DulceLaAlma]

That I you for the James Dominic Low D whistle review! I love the low tones and it’s good to hear you play it and know it’s possible to get a clear, not breathy, tone. I’m new to the scene and so it’s also great to find out other people’s favorite players. Gives me lots of new inspiration ❤️ Cutie Pie got me started on a D Clarke tin whistle and I am having loads of fun walking the neighborhood and playing😁 The neighbors love it too...it puts a smile on their faces😁

[@KingRubex]

Hi Seán, Thank you for doing that review. I am probably too late for the draw but if not then do factor me in! I have recently been bitten by the tin whistle bug and have learned some ballads [The Auld Triangle - Raglan Road], some movie scores [Lord of the Rings - Braveheart]. But over the last couple of days I have been doing my best to master some tunes from the Chieftains' first album from 1964 and I am delighted to say that I am able to play Sé fáth mo bhuartha and Cailín na Gruaige Doinne =). I really like your channel and have learned quite a bit from you already, so thank you again.

[@deanmarkey7630]

I'd say I was inspired by my first and only tin whistle teacher, a man called Padraig from Leitrim, more than anyone else. It was compulsory in school, but I still play it today. Although that said, I supppse I learned a good many tunes and techniques from this channel too! 😂

[@MustWorkWeekends]

I don't have a favorite player as I am still relatively new to the instrument (I've been playing guitar for the last 30 years). I really enjoy low D whistle although it is making learning to play more challenging. Thanks for the review. I love your channel.

[@tamaramautner9765]

Orlaith McAuliffe, Matt Malloy, Vinny Kilduff, Mary Bergin, Ellie Conway, and a fantastic whistler I met at a session in Portland, OR. Theresa (sorry Theresa, I don't know your last name). Also your channel continues to inspire me a great deal, but was especially important getting me started on the basics when I first started - Thank you!

[@wgandy9541]

Thanks for the video on the low whistle. I really like listening to Orlaith McAuliffe. She is amazing. I've learned a couple of the slow airs she plays. No way can I come close to playing the jigs, reels and hornpipes. But I'm working towards it.

[@GreenFireflyGirl]

Awesome! I'm just learning but have wanted to learn ever since hearing Spider Stacy for the very first time way back! I love the modern music that incorporates whistle into it, rogue folk, pagan folk, but of course Irish Trad has always been wonderful. I pull up youtube artists like Alina Gingertail, and Steve Sic from Omnia regularly for inspiration, I would love to be able to play like either.

[@NekoiTV]

I'm really new to playing whistle but would love to pick up a low whistle after getting a normal high D. I've always loved traditional Irish music as well as more current stuff, I got into it through pub songs as well as Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's, but it lead me down the rabbit hole of whistles and I always find myself listening to The Dubliners and try to emulate the sound they have, as well as more modern players from bands like Omnia! Love learning from your videos and Cutiepies videos! Keep up the good work!

[@randomvielleuse527]

Influences: Mary Bergin, Matt Maloy, Paddy Maloney- and Philip Boulding of Magical Strings. I love all these players but Philip Boulding's deep love of music in general and his heartfelt desire to share that love with everyone is what makes his playing really stand out for me. I got to play with him for a while as a beginner and he was so generous with his time and expertise, and genuinely eager for me to excel! Every time I played with him I was made better not just musically but as a person. I would love to be able to play an octave D whistle but my hands are too small and my fingers are too narrow, even playing as you do, James. The lowest whistle I can manage is an octave G. Mine is made by Michael Copeland, as are all the rest but one of my whistles, which is a Tony Dixon in A. I really appreciated your review here- so clear, concise and extremely useful. Thank you!

[@michaelshirk7621]

I think I first fell in love with whistles was from Robin Marks songs, as well as the High Kings, Celtic Thunder. But also there's the greats like Mary Begin. Flute wise, Bevani flute. One of my favorite songs with the whistle is Federkleid by Faun. And one of my favorite songs to play is slow air (daysailor).

[@erichsalie7691]

Initial inspiration was whistles in Riverdance, Bands Faun and Omnia. Found out it’s possible watching tutorial videos you and Cutiepie do.

[@diogoguedesa3039]

My favorite players who inspire me are Josie McDermott and Mary Bergin. I try to emulate them to become a better player myself.

[@soslothful]

Joannie Madden Lolly Cross, a Ren Faire performer, and Brian Finnigan were my inspiration for getting into whistle playing. Random question - Have you ever heard of cleaning a tarnished brass whistle with a lemon wedge?

[@rayloco57]

wow, a lot of comments! I've been really enjoying your videos! listened to Na Fili andLe Cheile, Chieftains and of course inspired by Planxty and the Bothy Band. Matt Molly. later influences are of course Mary Bergin, Seamus Egan and Lunasa but more recently Orla McAuliffe and Shannon Heaton (who I've been taking lessons from). I met Mark Roberts in the mid 70's and he later started Touchstone, great player. There's an abundance of great flute and whistle players these days, Cormac Breatnach immediately comes to mind. I heard him once but Kevin Henry was the first i heard really rhythmic playing on a tin whistle. it was early to mid 70's. i believe he was playing a clarke. My grandmother came back from a trip to Ireland with a Clarke whistle for me. I've enjoyed whistles with some air range ever since. Enjoyed your band's version of wild rover btw!

[@dean84921]

Good stuff! I've been listening to a lot of Cillian Vallely on the low whistle and Kevin Crawford's fluting on their non-Lunasa albums recently. I always come back to Matt Molloy for the flute though.

[@rachelnguyen6693]

For me, the inspiration was definitely the Chieftans. My mom used to play their albums all the time. She has since passed on, but now when I play it reminds me of her. She would have loved that I am playing!

[@morganscott8535]

i hate that i missed this, but id still like to say thank you for the review! i subbed regardless, my favorite whistle player is actually pretty...different. the reason i got into pennywhistles is because of eluveitie (like eluveitie-isara) or more of their heavy metal stuff like a rose for epona and helvetios, so my side actually came from a more hardcore side, but ive always LOVED the sound of a whistle with violin or piano, i own a D whistle i use in a few of my mixes ive done, none on youtube yet, hoping to eventually, but in summmary, my inspiration was actually eluveitie lol.

[@dmacseain]

A favourite slow air is "The Coolin" as played by Matt Cunningham (any relation Sean?) I would give it a go on the low whistle were I the lucky winner.

[@fedor5063]

Brian Finnegan, Paddy Keenan Matt Molloy, Micho Russell

[@12345flossie]

I'm thinking probably Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts, Mary Bergin, Kevin Crawford, Joe McKenna. Locally in Liverpool Pete Lacey was a great influence once I started going out and playing at sessions.

[@ajaysekhar5400]

I love to hear Mary Bergin, Micho Russel, Sean Potts, Brian Finnegan. Quarantine took me to some random tin whistle covers & after that I fell in love with the sound that the whistle made. So i wished to study tin whistle from KZbin as part of it I orderd a 4$ ( indian price 270 rs) whistle cause my parents did not allow me to buy an expensive & much better one. I will get it by 25 th so after that i strongly believe that i could master it Btw Love ur videos Lots of love from India to u 😍😘😘

[@sabinepiter5470]

The most inspired I got was probably by a live session I was at in Ireland, sadly I forgot the name of them. Otherwise I also enjoy the Dubliners a lot, and quite a lot of youtubers that make tutorials

[@markoj.7675]

I don't really have an inspiration, but I would like to say that I love your style of playing. Great vid btw!

[@aaronflinner6431]

To be honest, my 14 year old daughter is who inspired me to start playing the whistle. She picked up one that I had purchased a while back, but that I had given up on, and started making the most beautiful music. I couldn't believe how lovely it sounded. I knew that I had to make music like that, so I gave her mine and bought myself one. I'm not as good as her, but I sure do enjoy trying to play. Hers is a Clarke Sweetone, and mine is a Clarke Original.

[@michealnwadobu7344]

I first discovered the tin whistle on terbanacle choir rendition of Danny boy. Then I hopped onto KZbin and I found you, Sarah Jeffery and cutie pie. All I know about the whistle, I learnt from you guys. I am placing an order for my first tinwhistle. I constructed a low whistle... It was off tune... ... Yeah.. So you, cutie pie and Sarah Jeffery

[@ketobarbelle8051]

My favorite whistle player is definitely Peter Purvis of Gaelic Storm, although I think seeing Andrea Corr play tin whistle was the first time I became aware that the instrument existed. When I was in Scotland last September, I stopped by The Oban Inn during a Scottish trad session and saw some guys absolutely tearing it up on the tin whistle. I’ve got video on my phone of part of the session and it amazes me every time I watch. Seeing that session was what inspired me to pick up the tin whistle. Unfortunately, I have no idea who they were. I also love listening to the Great Highland Whistles that are played by pipers in Scottish bands like Skipinnish, Skerryvore, Trail West, etc. I do find that since I listen to a lot of Scottish music that I have tended to pick up the more Scottish “dum-da-dum-da-dum” rhythm (is dotted crotchet the correct term for this?) on some pieces because it’s more fun than playing the rhythms straight.

[@christopherschissler1675]

Brian Finnegan , Eimeer McGeown, Michael McGoldrick, Toby Shaer, Orlaith Mcauliffe. Don't have a particular style. Like a variety of colors, moods. Just play for fun and enjoy collecting whistles. Roy McManus and Chris Wall are my favorites for tone, range and ease of playing.

[@ShaneIrwin7]

Davy Spillane is my first and biggest inspiration. I’m a huge Bryan Adams fan, and when Davy played on Bryan’s MTV Unplugged concert, it was captivating to me. I play various instruments, but only finally now am taking up the whistle. Thanks to Davy. And also thanks to Pedro Eustache for all his incredible flute, bamboo sax, etc playing on the Yanni Trbute concert.

[@sahamal_savu]

I have a James Becker low D and it's very similar by the look and sound in this video. These PVC low whistles are great if you can't afford the hundreds of dollars it would cost to buy a couple metal or carbon fiber ones.

[@soslothful]

I have 8 whistles from James... excellent quality.

[@joereynolds3061]

As we list out inspirations, I think we would like to know yours. Who inspired you? What players, both flute and whistle, do you like to listen to (not necessarily "emulate" but have in your ear when you work on tone, ornamentation or style)?

[@kerri4820]

I do not have anything clever to say, as I'm a beginner in this adventure. I've always been fond of the whistle sounds. I played flute in grade school, but never got good as I have asthma, and struggled to know how to play better.

[@joereynolds3061]

I've been a long -time admirer of the Chieftains, so Matt Malloy influenced me to take up the flute. Since I started playing, I have discovered Mike Rafferty and Harry McGowan on KZbin. I admire their relaxed style and tempos that allow you to really hear the tune. Recordings of Paddy Maloney and John Sheahan have set the standard in whistle playing. But I have begun to use the Whistletutor and Ryan Duns as my instructors to learn tunes and get started adding ornaments. Still looking for my own "voice."

[@mauricioavalos6688]

At the momento I hear a lot of omnia but im pretty new with the tin whistle, maybe I found my inspiration in this comment section 😝, I really like your videos and I hope that you keep doing great!!

[@erat999]

My whistle inspirations are Denis Ryan from Ryan's Fancy and Tommy Makem. Been listening to these fellows for a very long time!

[@soslothful]

About the tuner. I had asked about using an electronic tuner on The Session and the answers were more music theory than I needed. There seems to be two tuning systems, Equal Temperament and Just. These were a confusion to me. I just wanted to know how many cents a pitch can be off and still be considered in tune. What do you say?

[@ibfubar]

Listening to the Chieftains with Paddy Moloney started my interest in whistles.

[@martinwright1575]

How did you find the lower notes (low D/E)? Do they break easily into the second octave and do they require great breath control? I'm looking for an affordable low D whistle with a strong low D/E.

[@louisdutoya857]

I would said Brian Finnegan from Flook, the track " Steps" give me the motivation to start whistlin'. I love playing Irish Tunes and baroque pieces like Bach

[@PhilTheViolinist]

Lately I like listening to the Irish trad duo TinWhistler. You can find them on KZbin and Spotify.

[@denniswhite553]

Grate video my favs are cutie pie you and so many others its hard to pic, defiantly Brian Finnegtan and Paddy Keenan are tops on the list.

[@barteklala]

Mostly Liam O'Flynn (he was piper but also whistle player) then John Sheehan, Matt Malloy, Órlaith McAuliffe.

[@HiSkippy]

Liked, subscribed, love James Galaway, chieftains, silly wizard, Clancy Brothers.

[@themothmanguidesme656]

Spider Stacey from The Pogues always! Great vids man

[@captokyo]

I am a fan of Matt Molloy and recently Shannon Heaton and Orlath Mcaulffe 😊

[@seanmcshane6309]

John Sheahan from the Dubliners. A video of him playing Doherty's Reel (aka. The Wise Maid) is what inspired me to really take playing seriously

[@lennylink8772]

I like your whistle sound. I like cutiepie's whistling, and windy whistling. I am attracted to flute and whistle sounds from irish, egyptian, arabian, japanese, native American and indian music.

[@NVRMTmotion]

A little known KZbin Christophe DELAGE does amazing work, and he's my goto for musicality inspiration.

[@janborax8348]

I usually play popular music, movie soundtracks or game themes. I am trying to play some Irish tunes too, but it is difficult for me to do all the ornaments. I am inspired by Cutie Pie and Sarah Jeffery (she is a recorder player, but some techniques work with whistle too).

[@djlogan1222]

I am inspired by the style of Cormac Breatnach and Kevin Crawford.

[@waituponthelord9290]

I am just getting started and don't know about musicians or history. I am "inspired"/motivated by a desire to bring music back into our house that is accessible to all and has the potential for lifetime enjoyment.

[@AngusRobins]

inspiration: Brian Finnegan and Michael McGoldrick

[@gabel7131]

1st love was pub crawl in Ireland 2nd was chieftains & dubliners

[@charlotteolsson]

For many years (15?) I've wanted to play dreamy soundtracks (Braveheart, Lord of the rings, Gladiator etc.) on a whistle, but didn't make it happen UNTIL the beginning of 2020. I watched a lot of KZbin videos (yours included) and decided to give it a go. Stephanie Burton (cutiepie.piper on instagram) helped me decide which whistle to buy. She's been a huge inspiration! Now I have two Tony Dixon (high D and low D) and I loooove to play! I prefer the low D - guess my neighbors do too! ;) // Lots of love from Sweden!

[@patriciamongey5338]

Wondering if anybody has purchased the white low D.

[@marcmaurer8295]

1. check 2. already 3. since I'm new to both high and low whistles, I know few players. The channels I have subscribed to are Cutie Pies and, off course, your's. ;)

[@ClaytonCook12]

Brian Finnegan, Shannon Heaton, Jon Antonsoon, Blayne Chastain

[@tobiasengorged4603]

Troy Donockley has been part of the reason I pick up my whistles and pipes, lately

[@lilianhuo8939]

You inspired me to start playing but I probably play more like Cutiepie

[@lolhosty]

I got into tin whistle after listening to Carlos Núñez music, but my main influence comes from Matteo Sisti.

[@Emanuel-hd2lk]

Hey. I don't really have a favorite tin whistle player actually. I just started playing because I thaught it looked fun, but I guess my favorite tin whistle player is you if I have to say someone ;).

[@timothyallen1362]

I don't actually have a favorite whistle player! One of my daughters competes in Irish dance, and I try to learn her dance tunes. This means that I hear most of them played on a fiddle or accordion before I hear them played on the whistle!

[@rona2940]

James Galway, Spider Stacey and more recently David Myles from Rapalje

[@neopower]

In my case: Brian Finnegan, Carlos Nuñez, and The Chieftains.

[@cirving1204]

I love Joanie Madden!

[@chrisbmeldrum]

I never considered the low whistle. Intriguing.... Not as “loud” (to be considerate to other household members). Tin whistle artist I like Donncha O’Briain.

[@jiritrnka76]

I'm being inspired by Finn aka Tin Whistle Traveler, Stephanie aka CutiePie, and Alina Gingertail.
