I think they also had a set of Gibson fireside pipes. I wish I had the full screen version as it was just a brief glance of the piper on the extreme right hand of the screen when I showed it when I ran a movie theater back in the 70's.okstatepiper wrote:In the movie Young Guns, there is a scene on main street in which the refered to orchestra consist of a fiddle, tin whistle and something else.

I saw "Troy" last night on the tube. In the scene where Paris and Hector are sailing back to Troy, there is a brief shot and audio of a whistle player noodling on deck. The whistle looks like a black Bb, possibly PVC, but I only got a glimpse.

What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?
The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Lord of the Rings has quite a bit of tinwhistle in it. You never see anyone one playing it in the movie, but it's quite noticeable in the soundtrack. Especially in the 'Concerning Hobbits' track. I love that tune .
Since I'm new the the tinwhistle, I've only recently been training my ears to find it in movies . So my eyes... um... ears will be peeled.

Re: whistles in movies
The series "Treme" has a street musician playing tin whistle in several scenes and episodes, usually with Steve Earle's character. Really great blues and cajun style playing. This was a truly great series and a must see for any musician interested in jazz, blues, or cajun music, or in seeing a series set in New Orleans starting immediately after Katrina. Made by the same people who brought you "The Wire".
