[Stormblast1993]

It's a D whistle

[mybrothersmells]

hello im tom and im 8 and i want 2 no how 2 breathe in without making a loud noise. if u want look at some of videos of me playing please do, and could you subscribe please thankyou

[deterdettol]

@mybrothersmells In Irish folk music, breathing sounds do not matter.

Also, how loud your breathing sounds while recording depends on your microphone; some micrphones like picking up noises like breathing sounds very well, thus making such sounds more clear and louder. It might not be you; rather it is the microphone that is causing the trouble.

[FrogzOnWheels]

look up frogzonwheels,Iknow that

[jimtiv]

Don't know where you come from but you might want to hook up with me two niecs ... beautiful whistle players like you.

[FinnOnline]

Nice Flow !!!

[Celticwithakick]

crazy good! how do u get the echoing sound? wat kind of whistle do u use?

[dustinhaze]

The echoing, or reverb, is probably post-edited using a computer program. It's to make it sound like you're in a large, open room.

You can use many programs to simulate the effect, I use Fruityloops. You have to pay for that but a program called Audacity can do it as well! It's free, so check it out. =)

Great tune Ryan!

Cheers

[diamachic]

i can play that so i can see he has changed parts of it to make it his own

to be able 2 do that you must be very good

[joel7223]

I don't like the added echo.

[are1you8experienced2]

is the echo sound because of the video or is it a special type of whistle?and if it is,what type of whistle makes an echo?:)

[HectorAwol]

Hi, I think it is a 'video effect' in the final edit. Or should I say 'Audio effect'. I love this reel.

[Azeron1]

ohh i wanna play so fast

[nubonamission]

Woooooooo! :D!!!!

[Bolorinvasore]

what's the name of that instrument? =s

[CallingTheRain]

That is a tin whistle :) ...Very fun instrument, just got a few of them myself!

[EdgarHero]

so...good....

[Eirelav111]

I love the echo, it trips me out! And it just sounds cool

[earl152]

That fake echo effect always sounds cheesy

[picopanpipe9]

no it sounds cool.

[HelioIgnus]

I dunno, the fake echo sounds like a real echo to me. I play in the stairwell of one of my school buildings and that's what it sounds like.

[Lissuin07]

i think it is a Mac Nic tin whistle, this one makes naturally an echo sound

[pronely]

Try closing your eyes.

[KILLUCAN]

Thankyou you are real joy to listen to, my husband & 5yr old son is listening & learning from your utube videos they are truley wonderful so Thankyou.From the Bonner family!!

[Ferali]

How do you get that echo like sound in the recording?

[o0dominic0o]

Try audacity =)

[Lochbesda16]

Wow, really nice variations, what kind of whistle is that?

[ickory1]

@Lochbesda16 

[tommytwists88]

I find ur whistle playin fantastic. I need help trying to play morrisons i cant get any sort of rythm to it or even the same type of sound you get. How would I get more rythm with it and would I get a better whistle make a difference?

[stickinsect21]

You'll find it on a website called thesession org

[harmen147]

harmen147

[irishdancinmusician]

[electriqueyelloe]

Ar such a pleasing sound it makes! Its so koolio

[RCherryman]

I've watched a bunch of your videos, you're just so good at it! Thank you for posting them. I've seen you play at least 4 different whistles. It would be cool if you tagged your clips w/the whistle that you're playing.

[dmckean44]

awesome!

[pk1225]

Yeah Silver Spear one of my favorite session tunes too. Great expression on this, I love that little bit there near the end.

[zeilveen]
