  • The high notes are basically:

    B2 c e2 f g3|B2 c g2 e dBG|B2 c e2 f g2 a|b2 a g2 e dBG

    in ABC format.

  • wow i envy you! this is fabulous! what type of whistle is that? mine definitely does not sound that nice

  • Its a Michael Burke wide-bore session D brass.

  • Hello, very nice way to play the butterfly :)

    One question for playing in a session: Are there three different parts in this tune? And how often should I repeat every part?

    Greetings from Germany :)

  • There are three parts to the tune, each part is played once. Cheers, Michael

  • @Susq15 Watching the video, I'm not sure what I did there. :-)  Most likely finger vibrato because I didn't play the B roll that time.

  • What was that little "wave" thing you did at the beginning of part C in at the faster tempo? Was that vibrato?

  • wow! nice job!

  • Thank You...

  • @tradlessons

    Burke whistles, the best!!

  • @eldane

    The Session. Type thesession into your address bar.

  • you need to go through the tune ALOT SLOWER i can't see all of ur fingerings.

  • I think it's a Burke whistle.

    Try Susato, it depends of the cane of souds you want.

    Susato is louder than a dixon but I think the best way to choose your whistle is trying many different whistles.

    PS: Sorry if my English is bad, i'm French.

  • I've got a tunable Tony Dixon, they're affordable and waaaay better than generation's or waltons. They might not be the best yet but you'll get somewhere with a dixon.
