I'll chime in here. I like Mick Woodruff's site:
http://fingertrip.net/whistle/
The songs clips are first rate plus you can print out the sheet music.
As a new player, I also like the excellent instructional along with sound clips at Brother Steves site:
http://www.rogermillington.com/siamsa/brosteve/
There's also this other site but I can't quite remember the name; it's something like fipp and chiffle, or buffalo chipple, or something like that.

This is a good beginners resource for fingering charts called "The Tinwhistle Fingering Research Center"...charts for most whistle keys are included. I've noticed a few errors in the text but still a good resource I feel:

Hiya Slayer! Looks like a good one! Unfortunately, my language shortage keeps me from saying that with any authority at all. But knowing you, it probably rocks! I have discovered the Clips! NICE!

- Tell us something.: I am in my 70s and played music since fourth grade. Paid gigs include everything starting with church solos in 4th grade, nightclubs starting 9th grade, and worship ministry. Had a 29 year career teaching high school music both choral and instrumental. I've played several instruments starting with trumpet as my main ax. I added flute, sax and keys after college. Early 2000s whistles were added to my arsenal. I'm back to playing again after a 5 year hiatus.

It's in Bela Rus, but if you hover over the links, the url usually ends in an English word that will cue you in to what's there... the clips are fun!preacher wrote:I tried this website but it looks Greek to me - don't know if there is a way to get it to show English.
I don't know how to get it translated either... I can't remember where to go, and I know some of the translation sites now charge.

I'm not sure I can handle the training period. I'll bet the volume is impressive even on the low end though.

I always think of BabelFish as "Babble of Fish" ... occaisionally helpful, usually entertaining, most often more like babble than credible translation.Wanderer wrote:babelfish.altavista.comanniemcu wrote:It's in Bela Rus, but if you hover over the links, the url usually ends in an English word that will cue you in to what's there... the clips are fun!preacher wrote:I tried this website but it looks Greek to me - don't know if there is a way to get it to show English.
