Scarborough Fair Penny whistle 

I'm pleased you like it, thank you for your kind comment. :)

The first E has incorrect fingering please see here for the corrected version. (You may have already realised) This version will be replaced or deleted as soon as I get time, the online pdf is correct, I have just checked it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oh3ioJDp8BM.htmlsi=DIaibR_i3aYNaref

Pleased you thought so!

Many thanks. 🙂

Thanks for that comment @gazf I would agree, for those that want to vary the speed there is always this option. The speed and tab notation is aimed primarily at beginners. As you get more accurate in your playing then speeding up would be a great idea. For some RU-vid viewers the settings (gear wheel) is below the video. Using this does not change the pitch.

The careful entirely cover the finger holes with a good seal. Experiment with breath pressure till you find the sweet place. It may be a problem with the whistle quality though. If you consider an upgrade I recommend Goldfinch Whistles, handcrafted PVC, as a solid mid-price whistle or Gary Humphrey, handcrafted aluminum professional, rather more expensive.

Oh, I forgot Susato whistles. ABS, tunable but not handcrafted, Still, a solid choice for a dependable whistle at a modest price.

I have had success using the blue tack trick where you modify the inside of the whistle by dropping a small pea size of blue tack into the fipple and bedding it in with a chop stick however I found the Dixon Whistle great value for money and I find it plays a lot sweeter, for me anyway. mcneelamusic.com/wind/tuneable-brass-slide-d-whistle-dx005-by-tony-dixon/

this may help, you may know it as poster putty too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LtXAZu8S8fw.htmlsi=_gWdePNycUXH_xju

I was struggling with consistently hitting highs on my Sweetone, but low notes were very easy, so I started modifying the shape of the labium/ramp profile - by making a thicker [steeper] ramp it becomes _much easier_ to play the highs at a _much lower volume and breath pressure,_ but makes playing lows a bit more difficult because you have to blow _very softly_ for the lowest 3 notes. *However,* I have found using a chopstick I could press one or two tiny, sharper ramps into the putty, making it easier to find a nice balance of breath pressure between the highs and lows. It makes the ramp almost look serrated. I have a couple of "Woodis" that were basically unplayable in the high register because of the volume and breath pressure required - by modifying the labium/ramp profile they're useable now, but I still prefer my modified Sweetone. Good luck! If this doesn't make too much sense, let me know and I'll try to explain it better or even make a short video showing what I've had some success with.

Thank you for the feedback, I will rectify this as soon as I get chance. There is a corrected version here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oh3ioJDp8BM.htmlsi=DIaibR_i3aYNaref

yes it does take time to play in time with others but it is a very important part if playing with others is your aim. Its the same as most things practise. Pleased its helpful at this part of you journey.
