This web site is under construction - content will be added so come back soon .......
Welcome to our web site. We aim is to provide information, links, music, mp3 files etc relating to the tin whistle.
The Irish/Penny/Tin whistle is a simple instrument - it's easy to grasp the fingerings and produce a sound - unlike many other instruments.
Played well the whistle is expressive, emotional with a haunting and evocative sound.
Playing traditional music as it was many years ago by musicians of another era is a very powerful satisfying experience.
The whistle is a great way to introduce anyone interested in music to playing an instrument - the rudiments of music can be taught easily and there is a wealth of information and music available on the web to help.
Progressing to low whistles and Irish flutes is then possible.
The fingering also has similarity to the flute, clarinet and saxophone so it is even possible for the keen musician to develop an interest in other instruments !!.
There will be message boards, guestbooks, mp3 postings and more to share your ideas, thoughts and music with other whistle players.
Anyone can play the whistle. The fingering technique and sound production are relatively easy to grasp. Very soon you could be playing jigs, reels and other tunes, playing in a band or just for your own pleasure.
Making music is great fun so why not have a go ?
A whistle can cost as little as £3.00 and take you on a musical journey that will satisfy that creative streak and help you become a performer !!.
