Nice effect. I couldn't help thinking that they would have been better actually following the music as written by Pachelbel, ie keeping it in canon. I didn't like the unison parts at all.Brus wrote:Pachelbel Canon in D for guitar, violin, and whistle:

Re: No whistle Youtube thread? Well then!
'Kate at the Gate' (by Nigel Eaton, originally for hurdy-gurdy)
Me on whistle, with a couple of old comrades in musical crime.
The whistle is a Shaw 'A', with an A drone whistle also attached.
Starts pretty, but ends heavy-metal (well, Nigel Eaton played live with Led Zeppelin, so maybe appropriate).
Warning for the faint of heart: electric effects switched in after about a third of the way through 0:
This was from about this time last year; I'm really really missing proper live music, both playing and supporting others.

'The Balquhidder Lasses', normally a reel but played slow and melancholy.
On a Shaw 'A' whistle with drone whistle attached.
The drone whistle is brought in and out during the first 2 passes of the tune, in a 'call and answer' phrasing, then left in for all of the third pass of the tune.
Just to go drone crazy, I'm also adding more drones from a Shruti box played rhythmically on a foot pedal.

- Tell us something.: I make bamboo flutes using concentrated sunlight. I've been making flutes for over ten years, playing with friends and neighbors who help me tune my instruments and encourage me to share my art with the world. I also design and sell solar arrays, and service kiddie rides and photo booths. Check out my shop at etsy.com/shop/solarflutes
Re: No whistle Youtube thread? Well then!
I melded two half whistles. Eventually I'lll copy the design in wood or metal.

Pop / Rock medley played on a Shaw 'A' whistle. With the help of an Akai clip-on woodwind mike, and a chorus peddle.
Stealers Wheel "Stuck in the middle with you", and Bachman-Turner Overdrive "You ain't seen nothing yet".
Whistles can do traditional *and* contemporary
[like those electric lute thingies... guitars, that's it]

Re: No whistle Youtube thread? Well then!
Interesting. See my two posts just above (July 17th and July 25th). Both these tunes are played using a strapped on drone whistle. Not using any holes on the drone though, like you are with your 'two half whistles', which means I can play the main whistle exactly as normal. But still a very nice (and different) sound.Huhupat wrote:I melded two half whistles. Eventually I'lll copy the design in wood or metal.
