I love the ornaments in the Shire theme and seeing how folks put their own spin on them.

Irish people ought to preserve their beautiful unique culture 😊

[@LearnTinWhistle]

Agree! :)

[@nancyworld4391]

So helpful! It's easier to understand and imitate from watching a close-up of the fingers rather than reading or hearing an explanation.

It is definitely a pleasure to see you perform. It's like a short guide or review on the instrument. And I can confirm that this whistle sounds heavenly and really comfortable to play. I own exactly the same whistle for 10 years maybe. It is my first and only. Back in the days i really liked the band eluveitie and decided to buy myself a whistle. The shopkeeper adviced me when I asked him which i should pick if i want the most authentic Irish whistle. Never was i disappointed 😊

[@LearnTinWhistle]

Thanks! :)
Yes, Walton is an entry-level whistle, but a decent one. I think it's a good choice as the first whistle.

Thank you. They felt like natural progressions, but! My thumbs get tired.

[@LearnTinWhistle]

It gets better with time, but it could be a whistle as well. Which one do you have?

[@kevintikivik]

@@LearnTinWhistle bought a couple in a set from Amazon. Smartwoodi. They are made from pvc.

So basically to bagpipers it’s bends, grace notes, doublings, strikes and triplets?

[@LearnTinWhistle]

I wouldn't be 100% sure about that, but, yes, there's definitely alternative naming to the same ornaments.

[@Paulina_Li]

Как называется этот инструмент?

[@LearnTinWhistle]

It's called "Tin Whistle" or "Penny Whistle".
