Dennis Murphy's Slide - Tin Whistle

Will plays Dennis Murphy's Slide on the tinwhistle. The video is washed out and there seems to be a mild a/v sync issue after uploading to youtube. Oh well. Megan Murphy

Here I am again. What exact whistle of the Dixon line does Will play on? I looked them up; and there are several. I'm thinking it's the "Plastic Tony Dixon Whistle with Brass Slide" that costs $43 at the site I looked at. Is Will's a "high D"?

Thanks!

[meganmurphy1212]

It is a high D, and he is indeed playing the Plastic Tony Dixon Whistle with Brass Slide in this video. We like it because it has a very "crisp" "bright" sound. Thanks again for your comments!

I play outside to not bother others as I rent an apt. Because I play outside I'm wondering... does the Dixon Will plays on have a lot of volume and can play into the third octave fairly well? I play a lot into the 2nd and low end of 3rd octave on my Walton D in echoy places. Will sure looks Irish. My sister took me to Achille Isand as a gift. I like your echo effect and can see Will blend in with the magical Emerald Isle I love so. I get goose bumps when he plays ha! Thanks again!

[meganmurphy1212]

Those are some very flattering words you use! :-)

The Dixon Will's playing does have good volume and it reaches the higher end pretty well; in my opinion I would say it is better in those respects than the Walton D. As to the echo, that's a result of the space he's playing in not having much to absorb the sound.

Best wishes to you!

what is the time signature in this lovely piece?

[meganmurphy1212]

Thanks for all of your kind words! The tune is "Dennis Murphy's Slide" and Will is playing a Dixon whistle in the key of D.

Will says, "Thank you." :-)

Hi!

You certainly weave happiness with such fine playing! What brand and key of whistle do you use and what is the name of this song?! I've listened to many of your songs and you are very talented. Thanks for sharing it!
