Check out this guy: RyanDunsSJ
Search his name on YouTube. He has 11 videos of himself playing a couple of different O'Riordans. Wonderful whistling, but a little too much echo at times.
Great Whistling on YouTube

Run a search for "TinWhistler" on youtube as well. He plays with various other instruments such as a guitar, a sofa and a chair (the last two played as percussion)! Fun listening.
The Walrus
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.

Why Father Reverb?
I'm new to this, but I like his music - it is very clean. Is it bad to play with reverb? I think it makes it sound cool.

Re: Why Father Reverb?
If used tastefully. That's my opinion at least. This guy Ryan Dunn is really good no doubt, but it sounds like he's playing in a cave.danion1234 wrote:I'm new to this, but I like his music - it is very clean. Is it bad to play with reverb? I think it makes it sound cool.
There's some great stuff on youtube.
Some Cormac Breatnach:
Si Beag, Si Mor
This person who I believe says he's Cormac's nephew, has a ton of Cormac videos.
There's also a good clip of Altan doing The Sunset with Ciarán Tourish on whistle.

Taste
I guess that's the funny thing about taste. I like the reverb effect. Apart from Kevin Crawford and Mike McGoldrick, the other whistle players on YouTube have poor tone. I find the reverb to give it a crisp sound that is quite pleasant; not unlike many other instances, like the Brian Hughes recordings or even Joanie Madden - I know they all use effects pedals.
