@TheCyanidePie Thanx! It's a great tune. I've been meaning to do this on the flute.... and quite a number of folks have asked for a slow version to learn from. Just got find the time. Do a vid of your concertina and mando! :-)
hey there, I really like your vid, you're a good player! you say you've only been a student of celtic music a short time, is that when you started playing whistle? do you play other instruments? regards from scotland! ;)
@danjulification Thanks for the kind words. Well, this video was done 4 years ago so I've improved a little since. :-) I did have a bit of musical schooling, modern flute and sax but not much more than what most folks get through high school. Simple system flutes are quite a different animal as is trad music so I basically started from scratch. Much of the musical tradition is aurally transferred so learning by ear over reading standard notes is encouraged if not expected...
...and you'll spend a lot of time just listening to tunes to get them in your head well before you do much playing. Plenty of great Scot tunes out there too! Do you play and instruments? cheers!
Hi, first of all you play very good and hope I can too some day.. well I'm interested in learning to play the Tin Whistle but what is the difference between the Low D whistle and the regular?
@ferdino100 Thanx!. To answer your question the only difference is in the size and air requirements. For the most part they will finger exactly the same. The low D is pretty large and can be problematic for folks with smaller hands... but with some practice you'll most likely manage just fine. I suggest you start with the standard size D before giving the big one a go. Just learning to play is work enough without adding the weight, air and finger stretch. Have fun!
Oh man, that was awesome! One question: how do you know if it's a good whistle? yours sounds nice! i've a "generation" one that doesen't sound very well...
@dikasad Hehe, The answer to that is a moving target. There are certainly basic playability issue with the instrument in question but the rest can be rather subjective and it also depends on your skill level. I've had whistles that I really did not like only to find that they magically improved a few yeasr later just by laying in a dark drawer. The Oak is a overall good little player. It's not very loud but it's in tune and I still like it. Gens are generally good now.
You might want to look up Jerry Freeman for his tweaked/improved whistles. Really top notch improvements for very little coin. Many professionals like his work. It's best to start with an instrument that is known to be a good player. That being said. Whistles are generally inexpensive so you can try a wide range of the commercial makers and just find something you like. If you like it, that is what matters really. Have fun!!! A
@THEFINALHAZARD Well, I like to blow sideways into the windway. I feel it gives me more control. I also kinda press the mouthpiece up against my tooth for stability. Some players might be horrified by that but it works for me. So it's kinda both reason and habit.
Great video, great sound. I picked up the tin whistle as a curiosity in the summer of 2010, but really got into it around Christmas last year. Yours is one of the first videos I've found and I've actually learned a lot just from watching. Keep it up.
Hey man I just wanted you to know that this video inspired me to pick up the tin whistle almost a year ago now..I want to thank you for allowing me to appreciate such a great instrument and I think ur an incredible player.
@euPhonia95 I don't think he's using a very expensive whistle. Unless you're a professional You can pick one up for 10 american dollars or less, I've seen them for as little as $2! do a google search or try ebay. Also any music store should sell them
This is one of my favorite reels, and I think you did a great job! I don't play the tin whistle myself, but it was fun to grab my guitar and play some accompaniment along with the video :)
when im driving to school in the bus im listening most of the time to dropkick murphys, flogging molly and the mahones....but everytime when my mp3player plays your records im in heaven!! it really sounds great!!
when im driving to school in the bus im listening most of the time to dropkick murphys....but everytime when my mp3player plays your records im in heaven!! it really sounds great!!
@dawidsoon Naw, It's a nickle plated Oak in D. American made and you can find them just about any where. I promote Jerry Freeman's tweaked whistles though if you want to be sure to get a good one you'll keep forever. Look him up. :-)
@greentreestar A roll is a articulation of the fingers that uses taps and cuts to create, usually, the effect of three separate notes of of the same tone at rapid speed. da da da You clearly read music so I suggest you pick up Grey Larsen's Amazon has it. "The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle" Mel Bay Publications. Great book for beginners with music background This will answer most of your questions for a few years. ;-)
Another question: I am looking at the version of this song in the Portland Collection of contradance tunes...and there is a squiggly line over the first whole-note 'B' of the b part. Could you give me a description of what that means?
@greentreestar Well, I've never seen that sheet from your source so I can't be sure. Sometime that may indicate a roll. I learned this tune by ear. There is no one "correct" way to play it. I've been taught to mix up the articulation and phrasing. Keeps it fresh.
@greentreestar I'm blowing sideways into the windway. It helps control the pressure but it really is dependent on certain whistles. Your mileage may vary.
Nice playing... and about the breath thing, I actually sort of like it. Not sure why, I guess it sort of puts a bit of imperfection (in a good folk way!) to the piece and adds character. Also I noticed you keep your right pinky finger on the whistle, you're the only other person I've seen do that haha. Good luck, keep playing!
@aanvil Congratulations! i really appreciated the way u play it! Greets from Brazil!
@proof2580 The songs that u listen were recorded with special mic positions and equalizations (reducing about 11~13Khz) to reduce the sound of breathe. believe on me, he is a nice player ;)
Ur really good, I've been playing for less than a year and I either play my tin whistle daily or every other day cuz I also like to practice my flute as well. I've tried playing that song but it's a little to hard for me at the moment... and I didn't know that the had classes for Celtic music... that sounds like it would be quite interesting
I love your music videos. you gotta learn about controlling your breathing.. I have no room to talk.. I can't breathe well due to weight but I hope that when I lose my weight Ill be able to breathe better and play as well as you.
Hey dude, nicely done there;) where did you find sheet music or anything of that sort for this tune? I really want to learn tin whistle and this is a tune that I really want to learn!
@Dracky1234 You should look for the tune Cooleys Reel in some modern (post 1970) Irish tune collections. Get a tinwhistle tutor. Start with something a bit easier! Also listen to Mary Bergin on utube. Best of luck!
I really enjoyed this one!! Nice rhythm and tone. Next time drink a Guinness (beer or ale) or mead (booze made from honey) first for a truly authentic Celtic sound. Good luck in your musical career; you have the talent for it.
A little over 4 years ago. Hardly ever does a day go by that I do not play a bit... sometimes more than a bit. :-D Best of luck it your playing and have fun!!!
The Oak whistle is very quiet and needs to be closely miced. That's one reason the breating sounds loud. Also, he's leaving long gaps between breaths, so he has to puff a bit harder to refresh his lungs.
However, huffing and puffing can be an integral part of the music, a bit like blues harmonica. There's no harm to it.
I hear a lot of tin-whistle players in trad-bands and stuff, but i've never heard someone's breathing in be so pronounced... is this just a really difficult song, or just a quirk of this player?
It's part me and part the recording itself. I did this a few years ago. My breathing placement has improved. It happens with practice. Oh, well... I'm rather soaked in listening to flute and whistle players both from recording and much live from friends. Everyone has a different style. Some have more audible breathing than others. It is what is is. Do you play? If not you should give it a try. It's so fun that its easy to be come an obsessed.
I do...buuut normally when a video has a hundred thousand odd views the person has given up reading all the comments, so i phrased it as a ' question to the group ' =P
I do play a bit of tin whistle, but since I live in Ireland, if I play any sorta trad music there's always someone within earshot who's craaazy good and will blow me out of the water =P
I've been playing the tin whistle for three years on a black whistle I have to say they're the best I have a variation of that tune I think it's sounds better but you are a good music.
In addition to all the blah blah about whistles, I just want to say how much I enjoy your playing ... because YOU are enjoying it. You're not out to wow anyone (except maybe yourself!).
Man, you play this piece so damn good! This is the vid that inspired me in getting my whistle! I'm not anywhere near being able to play this piece as well as you, but hopefully, if I keep on practicing, I'll get there :)
It's just a lot of listening to others that you want to emulate and regular practice practice. A little every day.
That's really all there is to it.
Go check out Mary Bergin and Joanie Madden's whistle playing. Its a real good place to start.
I haven't been playing this particular tune in a while. It never seems to come up in session. I suppose I should start playing it out here... but I've sort of forgot it! LOL.
hey man i just thought id say that your ability to play has inspired me to pick up the whistle and try it..and this is by far the best rendition of Cooley's ive heard on youtube. awesome job bro
Hi there, I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. I play at an angle for a specific reason. I'm focusing the air flow against to one side of the windway to slightly increase the back pressure. It varies from whistle to whistle as they all have different requirements. This vid was done a couple of years ago and its a method that I still employ. Thanks for the complements!
@Rajamuttu I own ever single one of those whistles you just listed... and more. The Oak is solid and I like the sound. Clarke ST are generally out of tune. Especially the C... its shite. Meg is just as bad. Gens and Feadogs are good enough. If you find a good one. I like their E and Bb. What works best depends on where you play them. I play a Burke DASBT- D for my session when the pub is loud and play Oak at home.
My mistake - I was thinking of the ACORN - not the OAK. The Oak is more sturdy, and has a richer tone.
Your mistake - STs and Megs are in tune. At least all of mine are, and all the reviewers agree. I play my ST at home with ABC tunes from The Session, and it is in-tune with the ABC synthesizer.
I like my Copeland because my hand seems to prefer the taper.
@aanvil Our little session has just been uploaded to YouTube. I didn't even know anyone was filming (it was the father of the girl with the blue fiddle). See -- Tir na nOg Sunday Session "Ships are Sailing".
@aanvil Hey, I have never played but I want to get one. I want a tin silver lookin" one. What do you recomend? There is too many out there to choose from.
@FuckSystems and just for your info any session that you go to you always play a D. you can play a G or a C or what ever key it is but not in a session. :)
I do not know if you have heard of this band or not, nevertheless, I knew I had heard this piece elsewhere when you played it. This link will take you to a video by Swiss Folk/Celtic Metal band Eluveitie. I strongly suggest you check them out.
oh thanx, this guy is really good, ive just bought a tin whistle, but i dont think im playing it well, it doesnt sound like i would like it, probably im doin something wrong, do you know what could be?
also i would love to get the notes of the corrs i think their songs are really good and i'd like to play them
How do you make it sound like this? :( Is my problem with my whistle? I have two, Waltons. They look like they aren't made by the same material. One is really brass, the other must be made by something softer (it's a Guinness special edition). Both sound pretty more like a recorder :T
yeah.. awesome.. reminds of the great times I had in WoW.. in darkmoon faire.. just jumping around and talking to my friends on skype.. we had lots of fun.. those old days ^^
This is great! I just learned this real on the concertina and mandolin.

I haven't been playing this particular tune in a while. It never seems to come up in session. I suppose I should start playing it out here... but I've sort of forgot it! LOL.
Thanx for the kind words.

ur very good...if you hold ur whistle straight instead of at an angle to the side of ur mouth u will get a clearer sound

@CittieCat4
Hi there, I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. I play at an angle for a specific reason. I'm focusing the air flow against to one side of the windway to slightly increase the back pressure. It varies from whistle to whistle as they all have different requirements. This vid was done a couple of years ago and its a method that I still employ. Thanks for the complements!

Air is air. A whistle doesn't care what part of your your mouth it comes from.
You can play one through your nose, if you want to. Looks gross but sounds the same.

@BERTILKAU Hi, it's an American made Oak nickle tube in D. Very common.
aanvil 1 year ago
@aanvil Common, but cheap. And sounds terrible. And it will bend if you look at it funny. Definitely don't put it in your pocket.
Get a Generation or a Clarke SweeTone or a Clarke Meg, a Feadog or a Walton's Guiness.
Rajamuttu 1 year ago
@Rajamuttu I own ever single one of those whistles you just listed... and more. The Oak is solid and I like the sound. Clarke ST are generally out of tune. Especially the C... its shite. Meg is just as bad. Gens and Feadogs are good enough. If you find a good one. I like their E and Bb. What works best depends on where you play them. I play a Burke DASBT- D for my session when the pub is loud and play Oak at home.

@aanvil
My mistake - I was thinking of the ACORN - not the OAK. The Oak is more sturdy, and has a richer tone.
Your mistake - STs and Megs are in tune. At least all of mine are, and all the reviewers agree. I play my ST at home with ABC tunes from The Session, and it is in-tune with the ABC synthesizer.
I like my Copeland because my hand seems to prefer the taper.

@aanvil Our little session has just been uploaded to YouTube. I didn't even know anyone was filming (it was the father of the girl with the blue fiddle). See -- Tir na nOg Sunday Session "Ships are Sailing".

aanvil 1 year ago
@FuckSystems and just for your info any session that you go to you always play a D. you can play a G or a C or what ever key it is but not in a session. :)

I do not know if you have heard of this band or not, nevertheless, I knew I had heard this piece elsewhere when you played it. This link will take you to a video by Swiss Folk/Celtic Metal band Eluveitie. I strongly suggest you check them out.

I bought a real tin whistle ... :P It sounds very nice and playing is very nice too...
Mine is out of brass. It´s a Dixontrad (high D)
Madi0o0bluedream 2 years ago 3
How do you make it sound like this? :( Is my problem with my whistle? I have two, Waltons. They look like they aren't made by the same material. One is really brass, the other must be made by something softer (it's a Guinness special edition). Both sound pretty more like a recorder :T

It all really depends on the whistle you have, each brand sounds a bit different
