Low whistle Players?

[Tim2723]

Not to be a wiseguy, but how about a couple of links to some of the fine amatuer players here who offer so much to us all? They may not be superstars, but I've learned more from some of these guys than any of those big names.

[uilleannpiper]

I don't know about you but I've been inspired by a lot of those 'big' names. Without them a lot of people probably wouldn't be playing.

[Tim2723]

So have I. But none of them have ever answered any of my questions here. I just think there's a lot of talent on this board, that's all.

Add Sylvain Barou (Comas)!

[Celtic Woman]

Speaking of big names, Talbert is not really a big name. But, his CD is quite respected here and overseas. After all, how many players do you know that can turn something traditional and twist it to sound original? It's all about the talent. I quite liked his rendition of the "May Morning Dew". Sad and dreamy.

The reviews on his web page really says it all. When something is that good people talk.

Oh, don't forget to add Fraser Fifield!!


Thanks!

Piper John McSherry from At First Light is damn cool !

[uilleannpiper]

Yeh. He's great. I hear McSherry is bringing a new album out soon. Can't wait. He's up there with the best. Love Fraiser Fifield too. Gonna be a big name.

Sorry it took so long, but here's the finished page as promised. Before you go check it out though, let me get a few things out of the way. While I really, sincerely appreciated every one's input, please don't be offended if your favorite player didn't make the cut. I did try to use a few guidelines, like one, said player had to have a website to link to! Two, there must be some reference on said website to the fact that the person did play low whistles specifically, not just pipes or flute. Please also note that this link page was not meant to be a comprehensive list of whos who of the low whistle world. I put links pages for each of the different types of instruments that I play on my website so that those who are new to said instrument can find out more. Plus I'm also lazy and don't want to take the time to write up fact pages myself! That said, feel free to make all the sarcastic, critical comments you want! (I've always wanted to use that emoticon) And I'm certainly open to any more suggestions of players, makers or low whistle related sites! Thanks!

Fixed the Home button on the bottom of the link page for those of you who wanted to see the rest of the site!
Thanks

You forgot Ronaldo Reyburn in your list of low whistle makers. He is way under-rated. I've sold all low whistles I had with the exception of Reyburns and Overtons.

Just my humble opinion. Though there are many who agree.

Cavefish,

You must be a fan of St. Claire's to make that statement . Can't argue talent.

honestly , not really, but he went in the area i was exploring with low whistle , only i did not have the right midi experiance, only limited, years ago i did a couple samples originals on clips and snips with background midi--but my work and family life slowed it down and now i am starting over-but soon hope to get a few songs going

Mr.Burke answered. He should know as he sells them. Also Colin Goldie sells them a lot as the maker of the Overton. And what's more, he's a fantastic low-whistler as well and plays as a guest musician in Fiddler's Green (Speed folk band)
