    Scalloped holes (he is an Uillean pipe maker), make for very comfortable playing! Definitely my favourite whistle!

    Probably my favourite high d whistle. I’m looking forward to the new whistle arising from the collaboration between Thornton and Mc Neely.

    If you want suggestions for whistles to review, I’d suggest Wild Irish whistles. I also own a Jerry Freeman tweaked whistle, and I think would be cool to hear your thoughts on the brand.

      @@MicahDrozdowicz-e5x I have some 😊 Jerry sent me some to review but then didn't seem to want me to review them after that because he'd had some health issues at the time and didn't want lots of orders to come through in one go 😅

    Reminds of a Ryuteki a bit with the scallops. I imagine you can get some good lifts with that.

      A nice easy one though so I hope you'll have time to join!

    What is the best tuned whistle you have ever played? Is it characteristic of a particular maker?

    • @CutiepieTinWhistle
      @CutiepieTinWhistle  Месяц назад

      Not particularly, because a lot of it depends on how well you've warmed up the whistle and the amount of breath you put through on each note... But some whistles are certainly better tubes to start with than others...

    Hello Stephanie. I am currently learning how to play the tin whistle on a clark sweet tone. The biggest issue that I am having is playing the d and e notes. Is it my understanding that this whistle requires a bit more air? So would that be less of an issue with this one?

    • @CutiepieTinWhistle
      @CutiepieTinWhistle  Месяц назад +1

      @@RayFromTheHayclan definitely yes, though it's more important to try and learn good breath control rather than relying on a heavier blowing whistle, as generally the 'more air' is needed for the higher notes, not so much the lower notes.
