Thanks very much, big help, insantly unlocked the instrument for me :)

[@lisarichards1956]

You really helped me feel more relaxed by mentioning that the tinwhistle isn't standardized. That you can put either hand on top. I don't know why, but that made it seem more approachable. Now I just need to stop watching all the beginner videos and...begin! :) Thanks!
