i personally went to see bernard overton to buy my low whistle i was really lucky i spent a few hours trying many of his low d and g whistles he was so helpful he had stopped selling on a big scale then and was just making whistles for his own reasons i never asked but he guided me to finding the best low g and gave me as much time as i needed to make up my mind to what felt good for me they all have a little difference some are worked to get a good low note and others a clear upper octave
This song is absolutely gorgeous..it brought tears to my eyes....beautifully played...very emotional...one of my favourites of your videos other than the one you did for the tribute to "Bernard".
Damn fine playing sir. For sound - the overton by a country mile. I sold my soul to the devil to get my first one about 25 years ago (still have it BTW). They are cranky and finicky for tuning (i.e. you can't - so check each one out before you buy that it is perfect pitch). They are also very temperature sensitive (sharper if cold). Finally (at least older ones) are susceptible to blockage in the spout from condensation (your breath!) - dipping in a light olive oil periodically sorts it.
yeah its so much better the overton , but u how much time u are playing whistle? becuase... you began with the best low whistle:S but anyway the only thing its the aire and the presion but normally a beginner begin with tony dixon low d in plastic or something similar XDDD but its ok and u must to practice more with tin whistle XD in the other videosof comparations really the only whistle are good are d tony dixon in d brass and the susato, but i prefere susate kyldare is the best tin whistle
aorund the low prices, for me really the best tin whistle and in low whistle are the Overton company are the best^^ u must buy one soprano in D are incredible not comporation about the others tin whistles!:D:D
Separate comment, because this one is about you. You play beautifully. And, especially for such a young man, your sensitivity and feel for the music is outstanding. You and your girlfriend make a lovely duet in every way. Congratulations.
Andre, I have subscribed. I've been playing very little in the month I've had my whistle, because I really don't like the high (piercy) register, but, at the local shops, they didn't even know that the low whistles exist. Now, I know, and I'll get one. Thank you for the opportunity to comparison shop.
Great to see a comparison of the two. That is a Colin Goldie Overton, right? I cant say that i recommend holding the whistle as you do with the Overton for beginners, or anyone for that matter. There are no shortcuts to learning how to hold it and play it at the same time, so I would suggest to learn it properly from the beginning.
I respect your opinion...I play a lot of instruments for almost 17 years, since the harmonica, passing the violin, to the piano and guitar, and I know how the fingers hurt in the first weeks you are learning an instrument, so, my opinion (respecting your, of course) is, in that weeks when your hand is wounded, to hold in a different way...But, I know, each person have a different way to learn an instrument, that's just my way...Thanks for your comment...I like a lot your videos...
This sounds very nice. You can certainly tell the difference between the two whistles. The Chieftain is nice but you can't beat the tone of an Overton, that's a classic.
where can i get the overton whistle?

Do you know where one can find the sheet music for this song? I love the song and would love to play it on my whistle.
I don't hear a big difference between the two whistles, which do you prefer?

Great video. I got an overton for Christmas this last year and I love it. The sound is amazing, though it does take some getting used to.
Anyway, great job, as always.
