Don't forget to figure in the exchange rates for the various countries while you are window shopping.

While charging as much as possible for a ticket will ensure Dale raises heaps for charity, it would exclude those less affluent Chiff and Fipplers (particularly those from countries with poor exchange rates). Sorry Dale, you'll have to make a choice between making the raffle accessible to all or rai...

Most of the serious suggestions wouldn't work for me. I find the embouchure required to make any given whistle sound sweet differs significantly from other whistles. Further more, the embouchure varies as one moves from low D to the highest notes. Only through lots of practice on just one whistle ca...

How to start eh? Just buy any old cheapie ... better still get a couple of different ones. A SweetTone, a Clarke original, a Generation, anything from your local music shop will be fine to get started. Buy a D rather than a C. You won't regret it. Most music available for whistles is in D and most o...

I've got one of the Yamaha fifes. Fifes are side blown - ie, a small flute. Most fifes have fingering that is the same as that of a whistle, however, the Yamaha fife is the exception. It has fingering which is very similar (but not exactly the same) as that of a C recorder. I've found my Yamaha fife...

Every time a fiddle player bows 2 strings at once - which is far from unheard of in Irish music - a chord is produced. Every time a player plays a harmony or a variation on the melody a chord is strongly implied. To suggest that traditional Irish tunes consisted of one note at time melodies is nonse...

The reason ... |: ~G2BG EGDE | ~G3 B AGAB | works is that the chord a guitarist would use to accompany the first bar would probably be an E minor, with a switch to G major for the start of the second bar. When the melody goes too low for the whistle you can generally harmonise by picking a note from...
