Lord Mayo (low whistle)

This is a traditional Irish tune, written in honor of Richard Southwell Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo, or so Wikipedia tells me. It's originally a march, and I like to think my JamStudio track retains a little of that. Anyway, it's played on a Dixon aluminum body low D whistle.

really well played! can you recommend any brand for low whistles? or should i stick to tin whistles? (i've been playing for 6-7 years and the whistle's getting old)

@eatmetalshitchains It really depends on what you like, but a Guido Gonzato "low tech" whistle is a very good deal, and a good whistle.

Where did you get your low whistle? I've been looking for one for quite some time.

[ubizmo]

@aharonyakov7 I got it online, but at this point I don't think I'd recommend the Dixon.

Ubi, you have mad skills.

Methinks I need to delve into some serious practice of woodwinds once again, and give the didge a break.

@clarinetcat Thanks, but I wish I had spent a little more time on this before recording. In fact, I'll probably do it again on a different low whistle when I find (or make) one that suits me better. The Dixon is good but can't be pushed, and for this kind of playing I need to push.

very cool.

The playing is awesome, though I really dislike the accompaniment.

Played very well! Excellent skill! However, the techno/electric background music disgraces the original tune.

Very nice mr.Ubizmo. I will try to record my version on low D, soon.
