Title: I bought an irish penny(tin)whistle today
Post by: Boogus Epirus Aurelius on October 26, 2010, 06:06:11 PM
Now I'm thinking about quitting school and becoming a hermit mountain piper.
Mountain piping degrees take you places.
Like mountains.

P.S.-My sources tell me you have to click that green module on the right in order for sound to be piped through your internet wires.

What brand? They've got to be the cheapest real instrument you can buy.

I  actually don't know. My father gave it to me when I was younger and it's straight black with no marks or logos or engravings or anything.

I have a few wood flutes and a couple of bamboo side blown ones, but getting the breathing right on these things is kind of difficult. It's easy to get that crunchy shit sound.

Of course, that could have more to do with the quality of the piece.

Yeah it can get bit of getting used to.

From what I've noticed irish tinwhistles are particularly sensitive to any movement of air, so you have to be careful with your breathing or you can mess up.
