Re: Finally Found A Copy of Micho Russell Book
So, which Piper's chair did you get: the Ossian one or vol 2? You were here looking for it four years ago but never downloaded the pics offered. Micho was forever trying to sell the next volume of his self published photocopied output and tapes. With hindsight they're nice to have but at the time I...

Finally Found A Copy of Micho Russell Book
I had been searching for a copy of "The Piper's Chair" by Micho Russell for years, and could never find any copies on eBay, or any secondhand sites. Amazon only had ridiculously overpriced used copies for $125+. Then, about a week ago, I randomly check on Amazon and see two used copies for...

Recommendations On Microphones For Recording Tin Whistle?
Hello! I am looking to get a microphone to record tunes on tin whistle. I have heard different models can be better suited to different instruments. Any reviews and recommendations of particular models you have used would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Can Anybody Share Their Experiences With The Carbony Low
Thanks for all of the input! The Carbony has a 30-day trial period, so I decided to just order one and see how I like it. Plus, I have talked to Rob Gandara at music festivals before and he has always come across as a kind and honest person, so I don't see any risk. The close finger spacing option i...

Can Anybody Share Their Experiences With The Carbony Low D?
Hello, fellow whistlers! I'm in the hunt for a low D whistle, and I'm very interested in the Carbony Low D with chimney extenders that allows for closer finger spacing, as opposed to one that usually requires a piper's grip (I do not have large hands). In the description, it says it is a "big b...

Micho Russell Book
Is the book "The Piper's Chair" by Micho Russell a difficult book to find? If I contacted some book shops in Ireland, would it be likely that they would have a copy, or is it a more obscure title?

Re: Price, Skill and Sound
..... Freemans, which I think OK but not the universal panacea they're so often presented as here..... I very often recommend Freemans to beginners. They are inexpensive and in tune and generally easy to get a decent sound from. Someone with limited experience can rest assured that any issues are w...

Re: Price, Skill and Sound
Here's the thing with cheap, $10-$15 whistles: the vast majority of them do not play in tune out of the box. I first attempted learning tin whistle about 12 years ago. I bought a cheap Walton's and really struggled with it. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get those notes to sound right, ...

FS: Burke Brass D Narrow Bore
I'm looking to sell my Burke Brass D Narrow Bore whistle. The narrow bore is a little too quiet for sessions. I'm looking to get a Burke Brass Session D instead. I bought the whistle only a few months ago, so it's still very new. Price is $180, which is $50 cheaper than buying it new off the website...
