Quite expensive though. As you can see from the price labels. That shop stocks everything from Generation through to Ormiston.

They do exist. I just saw one in a music shop here in Scotland. It was marked "trad". Maybe just a brass version of his other metal low d. I took a photo and will post shortly.

I feel that some of the advice being offered is a bit over engineered for casual home recording. One of my friends does TV voiceover work, and apart from choosing a quiet room the only soundproofing is an absorbing panel behind the microphone. If you are doing casual home recording you don't need to...

Quilts over a table covering all four sides. Record inside the "tent". Not necessarily comfortable. Alternatively, get the room as quiet as possible, record your playing followed by a few seconds of clear air and use that second recording as a sample for removing the background noise digit...

I play bottom B on the whistle by end stopping it.
I can do it seamlessly on a D or C whistle.
Its an old flageolet technique.
Example here to show how un noticeable it is:

I do enjoy playing the wh...

I had a "pink" generation whistle that was this colour because it had spent a few years in the window of a music shop.

You can hear Fintan Valley playing the related Shaghai March or Shanghai Lil here: http://source.pipers.ie/Media.aspx?mediaId=4976&categoryId=208 in an NPU video and here in the Irish traditional music archive: http://www.itma.ie/audio/cruinniu_na_bhfliuit.html has been appropriated for Orange ...

Thank you.

I only tried it because I had a damaged Clare whistle. Mine has the poster putty tweak as well. Band O Shearers is a Scottish tune. A shearer is not a sheep shearer, its a person who travels from farm to farm during harvest cutting the wheat (and barley) and making it into sheaves. This is the short...
