@thebun, Mike plays Kerry pros and Chieftains by Phil Hardy. Colin Goldie makes Overton style whistles under his own name these days. Both models do look similar as both makers learned from Bernard Overton, the original inventor of the modern low whistle.
thanks ill have a listen to some of them, ive been listening to stone fox chase on the harmonicar lately cool tune, an ossy called mouthorganmaster dose an intresting version,check him out
could you explain what E2, E3, B2, AG are? not familiar with the way this is written. thanks a ton for taking the time to post the above! i'd be greatly obliged if you could explain a tad for a less educated! haha! thanks!
I think that the whistle maker of Mike's are Colin Goldie; I think that is a tunable Overton made by Colin, and its key is F. The other guy plays (I think) a Chieftain, tunable in F too.
This is pure perfection..it brings me to another world. I'm sending you a big hug from Serbia! :)
