So I'm testing an experimental whistle design for a friend, and it occurs to me try something different to test the tone, intonation, and playing characteristics.

http://www.box.net/shared/zi12xga6mq

The piece is G.P. Telemann, Sonata in F Major, 1st Movement (Vivace), TWV 41:F2 for flauto dolce with harpsichord and continuo ... and now for D whistle and midi in G Major. :-)

Please be kind on the performance. I had to transpose from F to G in my head. My copy of the music is close to an Urtext with minimal markings. And I've only ever played this once or twice before ... and never on whistle!

With the occasional talk about playing non-ITM on the whistle, I thought this might be interesting to some.

BTW, the whistle is just a basic Generation-type D whistle, plastic head and brass tube. Nothing fancy. I used Audacity for the multitrack recording and mixdown.

I'm glad you use your super powers for good and not evil... we'd all be in a load of trouble.

Shure SM57 into a Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer.

Hmm... that's interesting. I've tried to make some recordings with my SM58 but the sound I get is nowhere near this nice. I thought that maybe I need a condenser mic, but obviously it's possible to get good results from dynamic mics as well. Maybe I need to experiment more with mic placement.

A question about the recording...

Did you use any reverb?

Best wishes,
Jerry

Yes, in post-processing. Large room, hard reflections, around 2:1 dry/wet mix.

Ah. So that's about what it would sound like in my kitchen. Can you come over?

Very nicely done! And this goes to show how the whistle is not just for ITM. I love to play renaissance and early baroque with the whistle - moreso than the recorder. Your recording is why; the whistle is much sweeter.
