    Thank you for this fun and informative video. I have discovered my love for the tin whistle about 2 months ago and have already amassed a nice little collection. I have a full set of Lir whistles from Eb to A. Carbony Celtic high D and Mezzo G, and a Tony Dixon Aluminum low D. I enjoy playing them all daily. I like to compare how each of them sound for each song I practice. I start with the high D and then play the song again in another key till I find which whistle I prefer for which song.

    Favorite range is the mezzos. Carbony B flat and A are my go-to, they have the balance of brightness with resonance as well. B flat is a great key, since it corresponds to many E flat sax backing tracks. High whistles a bit too chirpy for me, and I don't have enough air to play the low D yet.

    • @CutiepieTinWhistle
      @CutiepieTinWhistle  Месяц назад

      It depends what type of sound you're going for. Do you want something soft and breathy? Textured? Or clean and sweet sounding? Raw and crisp? Rich and strong?
      If you don't have a voice/tone preference then any A whistle will be fine.

  • @vigortheone3527
    @vigortheone3527 Год назад

    Do you need specific sheet music for the different keys, or can you just play the same music, as long as you use the same holes on a high A as a high D whistle? How do people approach that?

    • @Tremendouz
      @Tremendouz Год назад +1

      If you're using whistle tabs that show the fingering, those are usable for every whistle but of course the notes you play change. The lowest note of a D whistle is D but if you use an A whistle, it will be A instead.
      If you're playing alone using this kind of tabs, you can use any kind of whistle. If you play with other instruments, the key matters.
      If you're using actual sheet music, the key of the whistle matters because sheet music depicts specific pitches, not fingerings. You will need to transpose the sheet music if you want to change the key you play in.

    I'm a beginner, and musically ignorant. When I play tabs (for my high D) the higher octave (key?) notes use more aggressive breath, and mellow breath notes are in the key of High D?
    So if I had a higher key whistle than high D (idk what key that is) would I be able to play those high notes (on High D tabs) with the mellow breath? Then anything higher would be an octave higher than that?

    • @CutiepieTinWhistle
      @CutiepieTinWhistle  7 месяцев назад +1

      There isn't a whistle higher than D that would play an entire octave higher, so no, unfortunately not.
      A low D whistle, however, plays notes and octave lower than a high D whistle. So, its low notes are an octave lower, and it's high notes are the same as the low notes on the high D whistle 😊

    • @CutiepieTinWhistle
      @CutiepieTinWhistle  6 месяцев назад

      Yes, although if you're learning online, or with a tutor, most will use a D whistle, so it's certainly considerably easier if you have a D whistle. High or low is fine. You can follow all my tutorials on a low D whistle, no problem at all!
      Having a cheap high D whistle to learn on works well if you already have a lower whistle in a different key. Once you have a good idea of how the melody goes, you can simply switch to the lower whistle 😊
      A lot of the *cheap* whistles aren't...wonderful.
      Of the very cheap (generation, feadog, Clarke) the Clarke Sweetone and Feadog pro are the better options.
      Tony Dixon DX005 is a nice little plastic whistle, not too expensive.
      iVolga also make a reasonably priced wooden whistle (from big whistle.co.uk) but DO get one with the metal bits on.

      I'd still recommend getting yourself a cheap D whistle. Learning without one will be very difficult.
      Lots of whistle makers provide alto whistles. You'll find a selection of reviews on my channel, they are sold individually at the respective makers websites so there's not really a one-link-fits-all solution I can send unfortunately. If you check my playlists though, you'll see 'whistle reviews' which houses all my tree videos in one place 😁
      Lower whistles tend to be more expensive. Affordable places to start would be:
      James Dominic Music
      Tony Dixon
      iVolga
      Shearwater Whistles
      River Whistles - (3D printed, though they're fragile and often break in the mail when traveling long distances)

      @@CutiepieTinWhistle ahh I have not luck finding a website that has an Alto D whistle. Is there a link you can provide? I like the low D whistles but the alto is the sweet sound in between that I really love.
