Hi folks!
A day or two ago I was browsing the board for people's favourite laments and slow airs, and I came across this amazing tune on Eoin Duignan's album 'Coumineol' called 'The Dance of the Gypsy Queen'. I was just wondering in which key his whistle is in that song. Seems like it's not a D whistle, or if it is, my low D is awfully out of tune in comparison.
My hunch is that it's either a low C or low B perhaps? Or could it be G?
I could figure it out by listening more of it and picking out the tune on my own whistle, but thoght to post here for the sake of conversation.
Moreover, if any of you have maybe recorded yourselves playing the tune and maybe uploaded somewhere, would be awesome to hear your interpretations of the tune!
