Wow, excellent. I'm wondering if I could play that on one of my Native Flutes, but it sounds like your whistle is a chromatic scale, mine are pentatonic. Still I'm thinkin it's posssible.
@moonkricket1 The low whistle is a diatonic instrument. Playing this on a pentatonic flute would be very hard. Youll have to do alot of half holing which is very hard at this speed.
@acousticems O.e" No kidding. I have trouble on fast peices. And when switching notes so often....e.e This would be a super hard peice on a regular flute...
Coming back to listening to this video after a year or so... If you think this is incredible, listen to his playing on the Butter Dogs' "Sky" album, it's just incredible!
Tony Dixon sells one on his official website that is $42 I believe. It is a non tunable black polymer low d. It is towards the bottom of the whistle and flute page so check it out.
wow beautiful. i want to learn i can play clarinet and the irish tin whistle. is it similar to either? its sooo beautiful and u play great!!! congrats!!
Well a low whistle is basically just a large tin whistle, so that shouldnt be to hard. Can be a bit difficult if your hands are small though, since it requires a larger finger stretch. Still if your hands arent too small you should still be able to play the low D with a proper "pipers grip".
I have the same whistle, but my fingers are not as long as this feller's. I still have to remind myself to play it "piper style", rather than "recorder style" -- not easy at my age!
I haven't released this tune on sheet music as yet, but I know it can be found in 'The session' website. I got an enquiry from them a couple of years ago and one of their members wrote it out. It's fairly close to the original tune!!
Hey man, that sounded really great. I play the suprano tin whistle, and am working on getting a low d whistle - Any suggestions on a cheap but good low d? Also, what song was that?
I was told to check this out - (I actually wrote this tune!) I am a whistle player not a fiddler as some of the earlier comments state.
Hatao, I really enjoy your playing - great stuff and I am so pleased that you like my tune. Thank you to all for your comments about the tune it is lovely to know its being played.
I find it odd that people are asking if this whistle is a Kerry Pro, considering it is listed as an Overton! The tune is "The Lilac Reel", by fiddler Mairead Walls. Hatao, this is a fantastic version. You rock, my friend!
ROFL, you know what's funny? The fact that he's from Japan and plays 20x better than most ITM musicians from Ireland or America! I don't know many people who can get that kind of tone or much volume out of a low whistle, much less that hard D sound. Amazing playing, man!
!!! I HAve and do play a tin whistle every day. Air speed not only regulates pitch, it controls volume as well. It is this way in every traditional wind instrument I know of. You assumed that I meant to blow a lot harder. Please stop assuming. :)
well i take my hat off to you, that sounds truley unbelieveable. how would i go about purcashing the music you play? i took a look at your site but it appears as [] [] squares
dude are you like the first person to know the history? its so popular that black people were slaves for a while but the irish were slaves AND went through a potato famine, and a holocaust in the times of Queen Elizibeth, we even had to eat our own babies to survive. no one ever cares about that though.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
