Tell us something.: May 2022, I'm a second-time beginner to the whistle and low whistle after a three-year gap due to a chest injury brought to an end twelve years of playing. I've started on a high whistle and much is coming back quickly but it will be a while before I can manage a Low D again where my interest really lies. I chiefly love slow airs rather than dance tunes and am a fan of the likes of Davy Spillane, Eoin Duignan, Fred Morrison and Paddy Keenan.

Yes, I must admit having heard the beginning of the track they do rather detract from it, don't they. Bit pointless.

Whale, I too was wondering, "What's the porpoise?"

Best wishes.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

That's the site that Mr G linked to above. I too listened to it there. I don't like the whale sounds either.

Yeah, but I would still like to get the track. I can edit out the annoying whale sounds when I listen to it. After about 40 seconds its just whistle.

I've never tried to play a whale. Does it require piper's grip?

I thought it was called a BLOW hole. Just think of the embouchure required for THAT!
