Uh-Oh.

Post by Congratulations »

I might have made a recording of myself. BE FOREWARNED: I have been playing not quite two years and claim no expertise. The clip is Carolan's Concerto as played (with no warm-up beforehand or editing afterward) on a Feadog brass whistle in D. Well, I say I didn't "edit" it, but I did have to use Audacity to amplify the volume a bit, as I had my input level set too low, and I didn't have my headphones on to check it. Otherwise, unedited and unprocessed.

For those interested, this was recorded on a Marantz PMD660 with a Beyer MCE-58 handheld condenser microphone.

Sounds great to me. Plus I like the sound of a brass Feadog.

Good job! And I like your choice of whistles, too. I love my Feadog.

Your timing is superb. I have trouble keeping such a modest tempo when playing by myself. Thank you for sharing.

I've always loved that tune. I thought that it needed to be played on a harp or another instrument that can play chords. Your version shows me that I was wrong.

Thank you.

Nice job Congrats, on O'Carrolan's Concerto. Lovely playing.

But I fail to see how O'Carrolan has anything to do with being a "Brit"? :-? I am also uncertain whether or not "Brit" is an acceptable term to refer to Brittish folk by. :boggle:

Good clip, mate. Nicely played, and Feadogs are my favourite whistles. :party:
