Michael Mcgoldrick's Fingering of Ridee and Paperbird

Post by 793744267 »

Anyone knows the fingering Michael use when he played the third octave D E F in the set "Ridee and Paperbird"
I find it is so hard to learn. And there seems no live show of this tune on youtube.

Tell us something.: I've been playing whistles since 2010. I love how varied whistles are in their design, construction, tone, and handling. Though I've largely settled on what I enjoy playing, I'm still a sucker for an interesting new design.

He plays it on an A whistle, I believe, which might be why you're having trouble. Oftentimes, you can listen for the C-natural equivalent on a whistle to help figure out where a tune is located on a whistle. There's a pretty distinctive sound.

Here's a rough video I made for you on a low D whistle. It starts on the first octave B (XOO OOO).
