[lemwells]

This is now my ringtone. Sounds great.

[nomiomiomio]

How do you get the lovely echoey effect?

[2k10emmett]

Hello,any chance of getting notes of this song please?

[CrossTheRoadRider]

Thank you so much! It's sounds magically! :)) My warm greetings from Russia, St.Petersburg.

[celtic4ever18]

could you play the man with the money reel ?

[Rao665]

i run marathons like everyday, and afterwards I play the tuba.

[splortz]

@rob102938yt best not to post when you've been drinking.

[RevolutionarySamurai]

What a coincidence that your legs ache and you're playing rocky road to Dublin xD

Brilliant stuff

[ishada27]

@rob102938yt It totally looks like it though.... I see what you mean and i find it hard to believe. However im not saying i dont believe it.

[bassambitar1988]

is there any chance you could post a tutorial for this, i would love to learn how to play it

[AxPOTATOxWITHxCHEESE]

@rob102938yt u do know that he does lessons right?

[whiskyandlace]

just send this silly man to your lessons father it might lighten his load i have just started the whistle and thanks for the help and inspiration

[XvanessaXvaliumX]

What kind of whistle are you playing? It sounds amazing.

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

this is really the best whistle playing of the song available... greetings!

[celorwin]

How long have you been playing? I was thinking of buying one and taking it up for something to do while im traveling. I know nothing about it, only that the sound is memorizing.. is it difficult to play? and is it difficult to get good? I played violin and guitar.. with guitar, the more you learn the harder it can get, but with fiddle, the more i learned, the easier it got.

[TheCherokeeboy]

OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE. this is coolest jig

[IIOV8MC2]

I love this song! You are a genious!!!! Great work me dear irish comrade!!!!!

Greetings from Irish colony Admiral William Brown, Argentina.

[naoisemarie]

Can you play "Baidín Fheilimidh"? I learnt that in school but have forgotten the notes. Lovely playing!

[MattABryant]

A tutorial on this would be awesome, I agree.

[TheQuarrymen8]

Beautiful!!!

[G1lowwhistle]

any way you could give tutor on this

[boredom234]

Wow. You are really good. I like the tin whistle. It sounds so light and sweet. That was quite impressive.

[N98uy]

I live in ireland and have been playing the tin whistle on and off for about 3 years.

The way you play is so inspirational. I would love to be able to play like that. This is one of my favourite tunes and you play it so well.

[WeekendExpress]

Just read the footnote about running the half-marathon. I would still be running :-)

I am exhausted just reading it. LOL

Any chance of playing Galway Races?

[WeekendExpress]

Excellent as always.

If only Luke Kelly was still around to sing along. That would be the icing on the cake.

[moonknight9]

Thanks for the Great tune! Which penny whistle do you have?  mine sounds higher.

Cheers!

[deterdettol]

Moonknight, Ryan Duns mainly uses these few:

O'Riordan african blackwood (i guess) high C

Nickel-plated Generation high D w/ O'Riordan head

Nickel-plated Generation high Eb w/ O'Riordan head

[mongorich]

You ran a half marathon in just under 2 hours? That's nothing, I can do that. Oh, wait...it's a half MILE I can do in under 2 hours...

[Irelandsmom]

You're so cute! I can watch you all day...

[starlightcheese]

I just picked up the Tin Whistle a few days ago, I can't wait to be able to play something like this . . . :D that was amazing!

[deargciarog]

You can do it really! Stick close to this guy. Keep your whistle close at hand, cover the whole hole when you play- practice at stoplights if you have to, but you'll find it amazing when everything "clicks".

[Olaf1964]

Dear Ryan,

Great performance, as ever. What whistle are you playing in thsi video.

Sounds awesome

[JanAlbrecht]

Great!

PLZ, tell my which software do u use for (reverb) effects!

Greetings,

Jan (got some old vids too)

[ralphsilat]

Hello Bro. Ryan. First, thank you very much for all your great posts! I watch them all over and over again. Second, while others are at it, can I make a request of my own? If you're up to it, could you please play a strathspey? Any will do. I realize that strathspeys aren't Irish, but I'm curious to see how an expert at the Irish whistle would approach playing one. It will be interesting to see how you'll apply the ornaments - that is, if they can be applied at all. Thank you so much, Bro. Ryan.

[dgeorgievsky]

I know the version by Orthodox Celts, and father you definitely sound more Irish :)!

[sarahlc87]

half-marathon ouch! your poor legs, thank you for the song, as always it was lovely ^_^

[seanlanefuller]

Congratulations on your half Marathon and thanks for the tune. It was beautifully done.

[JDev82]

wow. thank you!

that was beautiful!

[chansherly212]

love it! wonderful as usual :) oh and the bardofcornwall did a great version of this song too:)

[dylan1621]

amazing i was wondering if i could have a request. If i can i was wondering if you could play "winds that shake the barley". Keep the videos up they're great!

[RyanDunsSJ]

The reel or the song?

[dylan1621]

the reel please

[nipplebrady1988]

@RyanDunsSJ could i ask a request would you do "hot asphalt" the song please please

[sanjuancb]

One of my absolute favorites!

What key is the whistle?

I am thinking about going from a Walton's D to a Susato Low D, but am unsure about the piper's grip.

[augend]

i've started with a burke D, and then acquired a dixon low D. first week or so is horrible, you can hardly make the low D come out, but in time you get used to it. i'm using piper's grip and to be honest, when i go back to the burke i switch to normal grip with absolutely no problems. i even feel like playing the low D helped me improve my technique on the D. So I say, face your fears, get the low D, you won't regret it, just keep practicing, it will come.

[creutzfeldtJacob]

great song, I just love it!
