This is a test drive of my new Kerry low D whistle. There's no reverb, and I'm a long way from being able to play it competently, but I thought I'd put this up anyway.

And I forgot to include in the title credits that it's by Turlough O'Carolan.

  • I love to play the tin whistle. I have most keys and bought myself a low D because it's my favourite for sound. But am sad to say my wee lady fingers just can't stretch. I paid nearly 100 euros here in Ireland for it. Had to send it back. You play it lovely! You play like an Irishman! Are you here or is it England? Keep playing!

  • @MsAquaLady1 Ha! Just an old yank here.

  • WOW! this sounds good even without reverb!! I have a question. Do you play the low whistle the same way as a tin whistle? I just bought a clarke celtic tinwhistle and i am new to these beautiful instruments. Thanks :D

  • @ManlyAsianDude The fingering is the same, but the grip is a bit different. The spacing of the holes on the low whistle is much larger, so you have to cover some of the holes with the second pad of the finger, which is called "Piper's Grip".

  • Sounds wonderful!May I ask where you purchased it and the cost?I am currently on the hunt for a LOW D but am looking for a moderately priced one with good quality to start off with.Thanks!

  • @snooterpuff See replay to clarinetcat above.

  • Great!! you played it well for an old yank :-)

  • nice play!!

  • @clarinetcat kerrywhistles is where I got it, for 50 pounds, which is about 78 dollars at current rates. That includes shipping, so it's a good deal. It's hard to find low whistles for under $100.

  • Smoth played! I liked it. The tune is beautiful.
