Yup, hope you got a cut Frankie! I had D whistles from Susato, Clarke, Feadóg, Sweet tone, and a beloved Generation Bb in brass. Been admiring your live covers for a while so I went ahead and ordered the F whistle as soon as I discovered this tutorial.
I was having a dream about this tin whistle solo. This video came at crazy timing and now my arthritis is cured, my wife came back and the rain stopped
Your first point addressing people who argue over the whistle name is hilarious. Really gets that out of the way asap - I wonder if anyone’s going to leave a pedantic comment before they even get to that part of the video.
As a sax player who literally bought a penny whistle a week just to learn this solo after watching your video thanks for this. Couldn't have come at a better time
As a former saxophone player, your explanation at the start of the advanced tutorial where you wrote everything out as if it were in the key of D suddenly clicked in my head when the notes lined up so close to saxophone fingerings. I haven't played sax in years, but I could feel my fingers starting to move with the music.
I can see Irish primary school teachers frantically taking notes (or more accurately referring to your tabs for tin whistles in the key of D). Where other countries use recorders as their starter instrument, tin whistles are more commonly used in Ireland for (fairly) obvious reasons. They have until September (with currently miserable weather) to practice.
Well, I had a D and Bb tin whistle.... Now I have an F... Which my fingers only just fit on! Tin whistles are an amazing instrument - you put air and rhythm in one end and an authentic sounding tune comes out the other.
This is the first time I’m deliberately learning a new piece in at least five years. My lips are sore, my teeth are buzzing, and I’m still unable to hit that high F consistently, but I’m having more fun than in music school. Yes, I don’t have a tin whistle 😆
For me, this tutorial is so that when this gets called on a gig the horn players have no excuse to not play the record. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a song you like lol
I was going to leave a comment about the Pied Piper (with Tin Whistle) and something about all the Foolish Franks (Anton) following you but decided to just say, "COOL training video." 😂
It was not. I believe it was the saxophone player in the band but I forget his name off the top of my head. Someone will hopefully remember and comment
just got one, its waaay harder than it seems, even doing the right fingers im just get squealing.. im realising i cant just blow through it, it needs to be controlled to stop it octaving..
@@FoolishFrankie thanks yeah i play keys in a wedding band and have always played the whistle bit on the keys... so hoping to learn it on an actual whistle and surprise them one night :D
