Re: Killarney Brass D whistle
I do like a pint so maybe that makes it dirty plus a good few hours in sessions.

Re: Killarney Brass D whistle
My favourite whistle for sessions, pretty well in tune and loud enough to be heard plus a good rounded tone. To clean I dip the head into warm water and take it off the body then put it back in the warm water (to soak for a bit) with a small amount of washing up liquid. I use a bit of old credit car...

Very nice but where's the bouzouki? I could only hear bodhran. Or is this just an isolated track without Alec Finn?

Re: Where are your ‘car whistles’
Lets not beat around the bush, It would probably end up sticking out of the back of your head! You wouldn't be practicing much after that!If someone rear-ends you and the airbag goes off, your whistle may end up somewhere unpleasant.

Re: New to the world of the tin whistle
