Kesh Jig on Clarke Sweetone D Tin Whistle

The Kesh - easy and fun! It was also used by Flogging Molly in their song "Salty Dog", it's fun to play along to it, helps to develop speed :D
Far from perfect, but I hope you enjoy it!

funny - when i blow it, it doesn't even approach the quality of your sound. yet i have exactly the same tin whistle (though mine's tuned in C, i'll be getting D later - they didn't have it in the store). i guess my breathing's wrong, gotta work on that :D

@tomik524 Breathing could be one problem, the other is the head of the whistle. Try tweaking the mouthpiece, it ofthen helps to improve the sound quality (you'll find instructions online)

Hey Fabian, Just got my tin whistle today was wondering some good some i could start out on i can play concerning hobbits pretty well really want to learn "Salty Dog" has a really good irish tune to it but you play it too fast for a Noob cheers mate from aus :)

[FabiantheWhistler]

@JDMfrog180 Hey! I can recommend the tutorials of RyanDunsSJ (on YouTube) to get you started, he describes playing techniques in detail and you'll be able learn your first Irish tunes from his videos. Then you could go on to Tradlessons and Tradschool on YouTube to learn tunes by ear, and of course thesession(.)org for midis and sheet music for thousands of celtic tunes. Keep it up! Cheers buddy -Fabian-
