Maids of Mitchelstown

I learnt this tune today (The Maids of Mitchelstown) and I thought I'd try it out on the low G whistle I'm making.

The whistle still needs some work and so does my playing (sorry about that).

Nice playing!

Could you sell one Low G whistle? How much would you ask for it? I'm needing one so bad.. Regards!

I'm a beginner in playing as well as whistle making, I don't think I can charge money for my whistles yet (frankly, they're crap). When I manage to make one that is good enough, I'll let you know.

hey , whistle soudns nice but that's not called th maids of mitchelstown, the maids of mitchelstown is a reel....where did you get that version from?

[Shrog1]

This 4 part version I'm playing here I got from The Bothy Band off their "In Concert" album. Most other versions have only 2 of these parts and are played much faster, which is probably why you don't recognise it.

I got this version of the tune from "The Bothy Band".

Still making whistles? This one doesn't sound bad at all. A little wheezy at the very high end but a nice full sound for the rest of the range.

its meant to be played with some long notes well you have to on the Piano anyway
