wow... that guy is awesome I got a chance to play that same type of whistle (same brand and key) in a music store once. Does anyone know what kind of whistle he normally plays? I love the tone and the note bending he does on it, but I can't figure out what kind of whistle it is.
@theherpman94 Hi there, Brian's the best whistler I have EVER seen. When he played in Flook he played mostly Overton whistles (high and low). One of the makers of Overton whistles, Bernard Overton, died, The other maker, Colin Goldie, now has his own brand, the Goldie whistle (I think the basis of Overton and Goldie is still the same). I have an Overton low D, made by mr.Overton himself. Best sound I ever heard!
Yeah, this guy is way better than me too. And Yehudi Menuhin is a better violinist than me. And Pele is a better footballer than me. And Einstein is a better physicist than me.
The tune is called "Nipperquins". I may not be spelling it right. Brilliant player (of course) and lovely tunable MacNeil whistle made in Cape Breton NS.
@WindyPoplars09 Or Back to Belfast, the title he used on his 2010 CD The Ravishing Genius of Bones. He used the above title when he taught it in class.
is that a plastic mouthpiece on his whistle ???
