  • I wish I still had this whistle!

  • Lovely, great rythm.Are you self taught? I've never seen someone playing the low whistle with their finger pads not being on the holes before, but it obviously works well for you!

  • thanks. That's becuause I'm six foot seven inches tall and have huge hands. Also, play the bansuri with the hariprasad chaurasia grip and am used to holding large flutes that way. Nice observation!

  • Sorry, i wrote my comment in spanish.

    Thanks for your video, i I have learned the song thanks to you.

  • Entiendo Espanol. Gracias! Quando tengo mas tiempo, colgo mas videos.

    De donde esta?

  • I'm from Spain (Andalusia) but I love folk music. If i can, i will upload a video with the same song as a video response ok? Un saludo!

  • I would be most honored. Please do!

  • Is this ALBA VIBE ???

  • why are there 10 dislikes on this video?  I don't get it...

  • Great playing Man!! Thanks for the video of a fine song!!

  • Very good rhythm and that´s what Irish Music is all about. A lot of people forget this and think it´s about fitting as many notes as possible with as much ornamentation as possible in as little time as possible. The end result has thus one important factor missing - music.

  • NIcely played!

  • I've got a susato low D too, and I had the chance to compare it with several metal whistles, and I've never found a whistle that requires more air than the susato whistle. Metal whistles are easier to play, require less air, and respond better. So I don't think there is any difference between all these metal whistles and the alba whistle.

    Susato whistles require more air, because of their material. It is harder to get a tone out of plastic than out of metal, no matter what kind of shape.

  • Cool video, I play it in my tin whistle ;-)

  • hey, I've repeatedly heard things about the alba being tough to push into the high B and above range. Is that true, or is only a minor thing? (because I will be pushing it up there frequently in my playing)

    How does the breath requirement in the upper range compare to the susato low D? (what I have now)
