Thanks Mr. Gumby!

Will go ahead and buy "Dansons la Morvandelle" just on the recommendation of your emojis doing the wave!

Although Irish music seems to be the most popular type for the tinwhistle, I've been practicing/playing US Civil War era tunes. In looking for something a little different, has anyone used "Dansons la Morvandelle, Second Edition"? It is a collection of traditional French dance tunes. Just ...

That's an interesting way of doing music notation. I learned something new today!

Any chance on sheet music being made available? Having lived in Korea for six years while in the Army, I have a fondness for music from the Far East.

I'm just starting out playing the whistle... having never played an instrument before. I've got both a Clarke Sweetone and a Feadog whistle (both in D) and have issues with the low end of the scale. If I blow "ever so gently", I can get a decent sounding D, but the higher I go, it gets fla...
