I always think the penny whistle is a musical miracle. Such a simple and cheap instrument yet produces music of such quality and emotion often unsurpassed by far more expensive and complex instruments.
I can't belive its been sooo mayny years, I've been comming back to just to uphold my continued enjoyment. That erie stretched out hollow vacant soul howl...
I bought a penny whistle several years ago with the dream of learning to play Irish tunes. Over time, it sadly came to reside in my Desk Drawer of Broken Dreams and only pulled out to use as a back scratcher. Watching and listening to Erik made me ashamed to have neglected and abused (back scratcher) an object that makes such beautiful music. I will give it another try. Thank you, Erik.
Please take it back up. I have taken it up and bought a cheap clarke tin whistle not knowing if I myself would stick to it. I have make ok progress. I'm not musically gifted but I've made pretty good progress. Believe me if I can do it I promise you,you can!!
I haven't been to the NY Renaissance Festival in many years - but seeing Erik perform was worth the price of admission by itself. He's exceptionally talented and is a genuinely nice guy. See him if/when you can.
Yes! That song sold so many CD's back in the day I paid my house off 10 years earlier. Interesting how something can be on a song that moves people. The Titanic song had the world crying for months!
At 63 I just ordered my first penny whistle. It comes with a small booklet also. After I get it and begin learning how to play it, I'll come back to this fine video.
a wise old man once told me that the key to playing great music is to let it come from the heart, and i belive you found the key :) its fantastic to watch you play. you look so relaxed and joyfull, and the music is amazing.
i taught myself penny whistle too, it's really fun and sounds beautiful. basically Dorian mode of the Major scale is 'the celtic sound' as far as I know. You have an excellent way of expressing with this instrument.
Erik, you have no idea how many hours of enjoyment you have given me with the D penny whistle that I purchased from you. I love this whistle and I love the sound it produces. Thank you!
Yes all penny whistles. The one you first hear in the song at the beginning is the D whistle not seen in the video but available on my website. Regards, Erik
Thank you for making this video. You make it seem easy to learn. I have just ordered a Woodi C and D (they come together) and a Dixon low D, which will arrive here in December (2022). I love your sounds! AND the stringed instruments on the wall behind you. Thanks again.
Hi this is Selcen after 12 years later. Omg this is amazing! Im gonna try to explain what kind of amazing. I was following your youtube videos in 2008 ~2010, i was into the irish flute in those days... because of this video 😀 then today years years later, i heard a flute voice. Than i remember you! 💫 hey! There was a flute maker and his name is ...Erik!😀 than i searched and found you. And i want to say Hello from Turkey!😀 nice to remember and see you again. Have a nice day Mr. Flute Maker! ♥️ i hope when somebody read it, put a smile on their face as i do now😁 (dude 12 years! This is amazing)
Hi Selcen: It is nice to know many have enjoyed our work, music and videos all around the world. I wish you all the best! God bless you, Erik the flutemaker
Hi there. My name is Michael and im from Sweden. Im a saxophon Player but i just get my first tin whistle. I love your way to play. In my dreams i really would like to play like you on the whistle.
I watched this video 10 years ago and immediately purchased his D Whistle. The import tax into the UK was steep but I love it and still play it regularly. It still has that charred wood smell at the finger holes. The first song I learned was Eriks own Forest of Dreams.
Dear Mr. Engaging Kind Wonderfull. You are teaching our son Eli (8) to play the penny whistle. He is doing well . . . thank you very much Sir! Warmest regards from Vancouver Island :)
nothing in the world puts me in the zone more than beautiful celtic music, whether its the more subtle beautiful naturey stuff or the uplifting dance music with the violins, i just love all of it :) must be my celtic ancestry. i have to visit ireland one day. i been to england down in devon and the landscapes look so much alike and devon has a lot of celtic people there, but i really want to visit the source next time :) it was a weird feeling being in devon because so many people looked like me!! lol.. lots of fair skinned blue/green eyed people :) i think its good for people to visit places where their ancestors are from :) it felt like going home to a place i never lived, but it felt like home. ive missed that ever since. still cry about it sometimes... they were so nice and so down to earth.. they didnt have the aggressive rat race american mentality that i live in everyday where people are always rude, loud and pushy. i live in baltimore, so its like that all the time here and i just cant ever feel settled here.. its never felt like home even though born and raised here. just dont relate.
Ah your missing something special, I'm Welsh living in Wales but I had a grandfather who was born Ireland , you must have heard of the Irish welcome it's true, I live a ferry ride away but what a different country Ireland is the people are so friendly its unreal , if possible try and get over to the west of Ireland magical the bars will have proper music there, love Ireland always will special.
I feel the same way.... I am a mix of Irish, Welsh and Manx. I just get lost in in Celtic music so easily... I hear it and instantly think "this is MY music."
I have a Clarke tin whistle in the key of D. I bought this well over 45 years ago and It still plays well enough for me and because I keep it where it is easily accessible, it is certainly the most used musical instrument that I possess. However, if I were 47 instead of 87, I would be lusting after one of Erik's creations. I have had a Mini Sax for a few years now and get great enjoyment from this too and suggest that his demonstrations of all the instruments that he produces are worth checking out. Thank you for all of the inspirational videos that you show, Erik.
I just can't help it. I love watching your videos. Educational and entertaining. ERik, you're quite the character!!! One of these days I'll save up enough to buy one more of your instruments!
I have it ;) and my name is also Erik :D it's a good whistle, I can recommend it! but as you may not know, the first whistle he plays with is at least in key C or maybe key B..
absolutely adore your video Erik the flute maker! I am a woodwind enthusiast, play flute, ocarina, penny whistle is a distant ambition of mine, (my flute is broken at the moment) so I have my penny whistle to play around with, love your style
Wow! I noticed your a genius and I hope people see that...I’m so privileged... With respect, Your instruments will be a fortune in the future when you leave your legacy to live on....That’s the Artist I see.
thank you for this video, I love all types of music including Scottish/Irish music. My blood line goes back to Hawaiian Scottish Irish on my mom side and Filipino Spanish Peruvian on my dad side. My dad was a musician and could play all types of insturments but would never teach us any of his music talent. So now I’m self-taught playing various instrument including guitar, ukulele, American Indian flute and now I’m going to teach my self the tin flute and came across your video which I appreciate it a lot. I do go to the Scottish High land games in Northern California and enjoy the sound of the Irish music that is played there. Thank you again and Much Aloha for the lesson on learning the Penny whistle
Man, you are great ! Been a Musician for 34 years (guitar, piano) just bought my 1st Pennywhistle in D and it's killing me, Mary had a little lamb is kickin' my butt ! Thanks for the awesome lesson !
The magic 5 theory is quite interesting and works very well for making something up on the spot to impress your mates. Great tips all round from a very generous gentleman.
@Aj935 Hello, here are the Penny Whistles used in the you tube clip , the first one you hear but do not see is the "D" whistle, the next whistle you see is the Bamboo "A" dark & carved, and the next one you see is a "C" bamboo one, but we dont sell that one anymore, we only sell "C" Wood Whisltes. Hope that helps! Erik
I'm love with that Irish stuff. And you are such a nice person Erik. Thank you for sharing these miracles. By the way, I startred to play flute because of you. :)
So beautiful Erik... you play it so peacefully and passionately... it is like swimming on waves... inspiring music... Certainly, you love what u r doing ... :)
An absolutely lovely sound!!! Just wish to learn to play like you do!! I can feel the music, to the point my husband is making whistles out of recyclables, Thank you x
I'm always thinking that I want to learn to play the penny whistle. You made it seem all so easy that I now know that I really want to learn to play, Now it's figuring out which one to buy for the beginner.
@JoshuaLandonTM People have forgotten no matter how technical a song, music is the connection of tone, feeling, emotion, sincerity and communication with everything that's out there and inside. I could hear music when I was really little in the way "random noise" resonated, wind, light, the feeling of people coming alive when they laughed or smiled - it went away when I learned how to play, and I'm 27 now and just coming back with it
I watch this video again and again since i found it the first time, its very good made (you are an entertainer). Those are beautifull whistles and music and this video is inspiering. And it makes one wish to have whistles and or flutes made by you
This is probably the most insight you could ever pack into ten minutes; AND you deliver it so well. Excellent video! Now that I've spent a bit of time with my Clarke D whistle, I think I may treat myself to one of your more fancy (and likely much better sounding) bamboo whistles. I'm also a big fan bamboo in general. In the suburbs it's a great plant to "build" a nice "wall" between you and any unruly neighbors =) ..and then someone like yourself uses the stuff to fashion a great whistle! ~Best Regards from Cape Cod, MA
Felipe Oliveira Each one represents my ancestral nationalities. I'm American though; and a 3rd generation American for most all nationalities except Ireland & Scotland. I just thought it'd be a cool avatar.
I recieved my Penny Whitle in C yesterday and have been playing for a few hours now. I can happily recommend this flute to anyone who is trying to decide whether to get one. It is well made, sturdy and the bamboo is rather pretty. It sounds great. Also the bag it comes with it worth mention because it is quite thick so as to protect the whislte, but also pretty in its own right (It has a South American(?) design). The shipping process was also extremly quick. I ordered and had received within a week despite me being in Australia and Erik the Flutemaker being based in Florida.
The C whistle has a sweet spirit. And that would be exotic Cocobolo wood. Grows on the Pacific rim between Mexico and Nicaragua. I also make them in Carbon Fiber now too. Thanks for the kind words, Erik the flutemaker
@Plasma250 The whistle is his own. Erik is an amazing musician as well as a builder. And I recommend going with your Gut. Most Irish whistle tunes will be in the key of D. But the key of A is an amazing key for writing your own tunes. But since you are a beginner I personally would recommend a D. Because you can learn some of the classic Irish tunes and kind of pave the way for your own tune in the future. Remember, The style you start with now will always shine through your own tunes. Mind that
@Dancegirl144 I think the same, when I hear it, I see a green mountain, wit little houses, looks like The Shire, You know? It's so wonderful the music from this Whistle, I want to buy one... Maybe for Christmas... :D
I really liked this. GREAT JOB! Very straightforward yet entertaining. I will very much like to see more of your videos when I can squeeze the time. You sir have a veritable philosopher's gift of teaching. Amazing! First time seeing this video, and I do enjoy the tin whistle / irish whistle / penny whistle. (listening to, have not purchased one 'yet') I find this video instruction very enjoyable.
I feel so inspired to learn this haunting and and joyous instrument thank you for all your time and all best wishes -now to find a nice penny whistle :)
Great stuff mate - lots of smiles here and lot I learned. Thanks! Even though there is some sound production going on here I can hear the richness of tone in your whistle.
Thanks Erik, wonderful video, blessings to you and yours and you all have a very merry Christmas. Have you done a video playing "God rest ye merry gentlemen" on the minor flute ? If not please do.
I always think the penny whistle is a musical miracle. Such a simple and cheap instrument yet produces music of such quality and emotion often unsurpassed by far more expensive and complex instruments.
A tin whistle is a penny whistle made out of tin. A wood pennywhistle is made of wood. A bamboo whistle is made with bamboo. Regards, Erik
I can't belive its been sooo mayny years, I've been comming back to just to uphold my continued enjoyment.
That erie stretched out hollow vacant soul howl...
I bought a penny whistle several years ago with the dream of learning to play Irish tunes. Over time, it sadly came to reside in my Desk Drawer of Broken Dreams and only pulled out to use as a back scratcher. Watching and listening to Erik made me ashamed to have neglected and abused (back scratcher) an object that makes such beautiful music. I will give it another try. Thank you, Erik.
Please take it back up. I have taken it up and bought a cheap clarke tin whistle not knowing if I myself would stick to it. I have make ok progress. I'm not musically gifted but I've made pretty good progress. Believe me if I can do it I promise you,you can!!
I haven't been to the NY Renaissance Festival in many years - but seeing Erik perform was worth the price of admission by itself. He's exceptionally talented and is a genuinely nice guy. See him if/when you can.
Still love the intro after 12 years....
Yes! That song sold so many CD's back in the day I paid my house off 10 years earlier. Interesting how something can be on a song that moves people. The Titanic song had the world crying for months!
I love this guy. He introduced me to the the magical world of Irish folk music.
I'll be forever grateful for that.
There is nothing like a good teacher! I loved this and I don't even play the pennywhistle or any kind of flute.
he is like the bob ross of music
ikr. anybody that makes instruments out of carbon fiber is a boss.
I came here to write this, but you beat me to it
Exactly!
Lmfao 🤣 so true...
At 63 I just ordered my first penny whistle. It comes with a small booklet also. After I get it and begin learning how to play it, I'll come back to this fine video.
How did it go?
Yes, I'm also quite interested in it
My goodness. This video was made 14 years ago. Such talent. What is it about the sound that attracts us? Thank you so much.
a wise old man once told me that the key to playing great music is to let it come from the heart, and i belive you found the key :) its fantastic to watch you play. you look so relaxed and joyfull, and the music is amazing.
An musical instrument in the hands of a master is a wondrous thing to behold - thank you so much sir!
Getting back on the flute wagon I watch this video everytime for inspiration
this dude is awesome. i should be doing homework but this is way more interesting
One of my favorite videos. Would love to meet a person like him.
i taught myself penny whistle too, it's really fun and sounds beautiful.
basically Dorian mode of the Major scale is 'the celtic sound' as far as I know.
You have an excellent way of expressing with this instrument.
It was a really professional useful sound advice which we cant get on most of the videos in RUclips
Inspirational teaching from an inspirational Irishman. Thank you Erik for sharing this gift of joy with us!
And here we are, 10 years later... and this video it's just great
Erik, you have no idea how many hours of enjoyment you have given me with the D penny whistle that I purchased from you. I love this whistle and I love the sound it produces. Thank you!
Eric ..you rock. Your rule of 5 is awesome, and you are an excellent teacher. I learned more from your ten minute video than from some books. Thanks
Thank you, Sir! An exceptional musician and an awesome teacher meets in your person, you remind me of the wise Bards I knew many lives ago....
Finally, found this video again. T'was almost a decade since i viewed it the first time.
I ordered one of your whistles as a Christmas present to myself and I seriously can’t put it down. I LOVE it. Thank you for sharing your gift with me!
Sweet! Thank you! These notes bring me joy. Erik
Yes all penny whistles. The one you first hear in the song at the beginning is the D whistle not seen in the video but available on my website.
Regards, Erik
I've just got one for my birthday, truly a beautiful sounding instrument.
Thank you for making this video. You make it seem easy to learn. I have just ordered a Woodi C and D (they come together) and a Dixon low D, which will arrive here in December (2022). I love your sounds! AND the stringed instruments on the wall behind you. Thanks again.
Wow, I just discoved the irish pennywhistle ! And i'm totally in love ! Sure I will buy one ! Thanks !! Your video is a real pleasure
I'll be getting one soon and this video has been sooo helpful!!! It makes me even more excited about learning the Penny Whistle! What a joyous thing!

I love your way to play.
In my dreams i really would like to play like you on the whistle.
I got an Irish whistle the other day just for the soul purpose of playing Irish music. This video will help me out greatly. thanks so much!
I watched this video 10 years ago and immediately purchased his D Whistle. The import tax into the UK was steep but I love it and still play it regularly. It still has that charred wood smell at the finger holes. The first song I learned was Eriks own Forest of Dreams.
Thanks for the wonderful, giving presentation!
Very nice! I love hearing jazz on the pennywhistle. So interesting!!
Dear Mr. Engaging Kind Wonderfull. You are teaching our son Eli (8) to play the penny whistle. He is doing well . . . thank you very much Sir! Warmest regards from Vancouver Island :)
Awesome! Go Eli!!!! And Blessings from the bamboo garden in Florida. Erik the flutemaker

I truly love your approach to this lesson. Very helpful. Thank you!
you give me much more of a great understanding to doing self taught and i wish you could show much much more or give me more tips thanks Erik so much

Agreed, from a fellow Celt :)
datura1983 I agree completely. It's like a stirring in the blood that others don't seem to comprehend.
datura1983 I'm Irish it's nice here

I am just starting to learn the whistle and this has helped, thank you.

You are a very good teacher. Thankyou!

Thank you for sharing. I hope this video will impruve my pennywhistle playing. Thank you very much!
Totally going to buy one of your whistles
I recieved my Penny Whitle in C yesterday and have been playing for a few hours now. I can happily recommend this flute to anyone who is trying to decide whether to get one. It is well made, sturdy and the bamboo is rather pretty. It sounds great.
Also the bag it comes with it worth mention because it is quite thick so as to protect the whislte, but also pretty in its own right (It has a South American(?) design).
The shipping process was also extremly quick. I ordered and had received within a week despite me being in Australia and Erik the Flutemaker being based in Florida.
The C whistle has a sweet spirit. And that would be exotic Cocobolo wood. Grows on the Pacific rim between Mexico and Nicaragua. I also make them in Carbon Fiber now too. Thanks for the kind words, Erik the flutemaker
tinwhistle has an amazing sound. thanks for the tips. Your website is very insteresting also.
so beautiful sound
I found Amazing Grace played by you!
God bless you and your ministy!
@Plasma250 The whistle is his own. Erik is an amazing musician as well as a builder. And I recommend going with your Gut. Most Irish whistle tunes will be in the key of D. But the key of A is an amazing key for writing your own tunes. But since you are a beginner I personally would recommend a D. Because you can learn some of the classic Irish tunes and kind of pave the way for your own tune in the future. Remember, The style you start with now will always shine through your own tunes. Mind that
You have convinced to take up this as a third instrument! I love these so much and they are so beautiful! Thanks so much!
Amazing play :o...
Jut got chills all over!
@Dancegirl144
I think the same, when I hear it, I see a green mountain, wit little houses, looks like The Shire, You know?
It's so wonderful the music from this Whistle, I want to buy one... Maybe for Christmas... :D
Absolutely brilliant!
I really liked this. GREAT JOB! Very straightforward yet entertaining. I will very much like to see more of your videos when I can squeeze the time. You sir have a veritable philosopher's gift of teaching. Amazing! First time seeing this video, and I do enjoy the tin whistle / irish whistle / penny whistle. (listening to, have not purchased one 'yet') I find this video instruction very enjoyable.
I made a lot of bamboo flutes using your box, thanks Erik!
Such beautiful playing! Thank you!
I Love this video!!! Soooo great! And inspired!!
I feel so inspired to learn this haunting and and joyous instrument thank you for all your time and all best wishes -now to find a nice penny whistle :)
Hi Mark: You might want to visit our website. We ofer D and C whistles at erik the flutemaker . com
the whole song can be purchased either through itunes or Amazon music.
Search for the song "Forest of Dreams" by Erik the Flutemaker.
Hi Erick..I'm going to buy your Irish flute next...
Great stuff mate - lots of smiles here and lot I learned. Thanks!
Even though there is some sound production going on here I can hear the richness of tone in your whistle.
Beautiful!
This man is a new hero of mine. I'm getting a good tin whistle as soon as possible.
Thanks Erik, wonderful video, blessings to you and yours and
you all have a very merry Christmas.
Have you done a video playing "God rest ye merry gentlemen"
on the minor flute ? If not please do.
I got my feadog tin whistle and have found myself also leaning toward this 5 rule. Just sounds and feels right and leaves room for opportunities.
Thank you for your lesson. It was good for me..
