Welcome and good luck! If you can't get a sound out of the whistle, remember you didn't step on it hard enough.
Enjoy

Good luck! I hope you enjoy the tinwhistle as much as I do. I think you'll start to find it especially satisfying to play once you learn how to ornament your songs, and you have a good enough ear to put in your own little flavors.

Les, don't listen to Bloomfield. He's joshing you. I ruined several good whistles before I realized he was just pulling my leg.
BTW, Failte!

So Les, where do you live (you sound like an Englishman to me), what's your musical background, what sort of music do you plan to play?
