try not to over blow the sound though.. dixon low whistle are very easy going.. focus your breathing... good job though.. you got your self a new subscriber ^^
I love to play the tin whistle. I have most keys and bought myself a low D because it's my favourite for sound. But am sad to say my wee lady fingers just can't stretch. I paid nearly 100 euros here in Ireland for it. Had to send it back. You play it lovely! You play like an Irishman! Are you here or is it England? Keep playing!
WOW! this sounds good even without reverb!! I have a question. Do you play the low whistle the same way as a tin whistle? I just bought a clarke celtic tinwhistle and i am new to these beautiful instruments. Thanks :D
@ManlyAsianDude The fingering is the same, but the grip is a bit different. The spacing of the holes on the low whistle is much larger, so you have to cover some of the holes with the second pad of the finger, which is called "Piper's Grip".
@clarinetcat kerrywhistles is where I got it, for 50 pounds, which is about 78 dollars at current rates. That includes shipping, so it's a good deal. It's hard to find low whistles for under $100.
Sounds wonderful!May I ask where you purchased it and the cost?I am currently on the hunt for a LOW D but am looking for a moderately priced one with good quality to start off with.Thanks!
It is really nice, ubizmo ! You have been playing it for a couple of days only and the result is great. The piper´s grip seems very natural for you already.
Oh, I tried out one of thse before. It takes considerably more air then the smaller ones for sure, but not to bad. You may not consider your abilty to play it competente yet, but I am rather sure you are in the minority there. At least the fingering is easy to remember, so liniar, lol.
@Romenadan There's little back pressure, but it needs quite a *volume* of air, especially in the 2nd octave. The notes come out easily, but my lungs empty out quickly. And the Kerry has a reputation of needing *less* air than many other low D whistles.
well played.. liking the slide...

Tone sounds great, how is the breath response? I think I speak for everyone when I say I want to hear more!
