Hello,
i found this book : learning irish
I've just seen that there is an iPhone app on irish : gaelic (irish) study buddy! Someone knows this application ?

I found that having a whistle is extremely helpful when learning how to do ornaments. It takes the struggle of learning the embouchure out of the equation. This allows you to learn what it is that you are trying to accomplish technically, then carry it over and learn it on the flute. Thanks for the...

There is Jean Sabot's one http://pagesperso-orange.fr/jsabot/ with some interesting tunings.
