[@TheCelticrevival]

Yes, a Susato. He had one of his whistles from John SIndt stolen while they were on tour in Asia and he's starting using the Susatos while on the road (and sometimes on recordings as well.)

[@DJFozter]

Great stuff

[@bivosacanagi]

HOLY SHIT AMAZING!!!!

[@andrewp8284]

Tin Whistle AND Uilleann Pipes - Jaysus can it get much better?

[@PaddysreturnVienna]

tabs? unlikely. you can get the sheet music however, just enter the titles plus the keyword thesession in google and first hit will be a site with the sheet music. but the sheet music will most certainly not match exactly, so if you really want to play it like kevin, get an audio tool, slow the track down to half speed and play what you're hearing. names are Wedding reel, Morning nightcap and Malbay shuffle.

[@WhiteRaven409]

Great! :)

[@NYyankee02]

@14blackroses it's like as long as the music plays, nothing else matters.

[@andrenm2]

And just to finish, in the last image of this vídeo, he is holding the two top holes in the tin whistle, right? (4:04)...I checked on my keyboard and acoustic guitar...That note is a G...As you know, if you grab a "C" tin whistle, and press the top two holes, it is going to give you a G...However, if you use a "D" tin whistle, that note is going to be a "A", but that note isn't an "A"...You can double check!

[@andrenm2]

Well, I am with a C whistle right here, playing along with this song, and it "fit"...I really, really, respecfully, think it's a Susato Kildare C

[@danalefay]

Amazing!!!! Is it a Susato Kevin´s playing??? Just love tin whistles....I wish I could play like this!!! Thanks for posting!

[@crossEyedMary69]

@Xerxes4242 This BAND cheers me up every time ;-)

[@mcnultys32]

the best

[@barrry9]

@theherpman94 Whatever kind of whistle it is - the last note is definitely a G - how do I know? I play (or rather, am learning) uilleann pipes and the note Cillian is playin at the end is a G :) Dunno if that helps you figure out what key the whistle is in or not *shrugs*

[@andrenm2]

Welll, I ask for sorry too... But that was kind of fun...

[@ClarasChannel]

Fuck it, they're so badass.

[@TheEldestScroll]

@homebrewradio haha yeah. to play is easy, but mastering it is a different story.

[@deterdettol]

No problem.

[@edelahaye]

On a simple Susato in C ...

[@andrenm2]

It's a Susato Kildare "C"

[@TheEldestScroll]

what kind of whistle is he using?

[@julianolamur]

What kind of bagpipe is that? How is it tuned?

[@bensblues]

uilleann pipes

[@Xerxes4242]

@1976vern They're Irish

[@deterdettol]

@andrenm2 Wrong. It's a D.

[@Levatron]

Morning nightcap!...............what's the use of getting sober when ye gotta get drunk again. Lunasa, great to see them 'live' thank you.

ireland is only wet,cold and gorgeous!!.

[@deterdettol]

But for now, I guess I should apologise for one thing: when I started this debate I fear I might have been a little rude. Sorry for that.

[@1976vern]

Go Scotland

[@andrenm2]

I think I see what the problem is...this song modulates in the middle of it... It starts in D major (so it is, that the sequence of chords in the verse is "D - Em - Bm - A")... But when the tin whistle plays, the song modulates...The tin whistle uses the scale of Dm (pentathonic) in this song, so is a million times easyer to play using a tin whistle in "C"...I have a tin whistle, a keyboard next to me, an acoustic guitar, and all I played matches the note he is doing in the tin whistle...

[@JoseErin73]

Three people have rocks instead of ears :)

[@deterdettol]

I double checked. He is fingering 3 holes, not 2. Next, thesession org lists Malbay Shuffle (the last tune) as G major.

[@deterdettol]

It fits, merely because you are transposing the tune from the key of D to C, just by playing the exact same tune on a different pitch whistle. The tune was played in the key of D. I won't say I'm sure it is, I say it really is. Going by the starting note of the last reel in the set, it is. Or, your whistle is much sharper than normal so its closer to D, or you think your whistle is a C but is actually a D.
