Chiff and Fipple Forums

Its been quite a few years since i have been on here, yet the joys of learning and playing the whistle in many situations continues to inspire me, I learned so much from these forums, so just wanted to share a couple of clips, just to give a little back i hope you enjoy Syn Whistles and Northumbrian...

Indeed it is a syn D, my favourite of about 40 whistles lol
Thank you for your kind comments

I have nothing but praise for SYN Whistles, I live in a climate with both heat extremes hot in summer and freezing winter sure enough the aluminum does get cold in the winter i easily overcome this by wearing a vest with a deep inside pocket, perfect to keep the whistle warm when not playing, I rare...

Try singing the words of amazing grace to the tune "the house of the rising sun" works surprisingly well. its a bit of a head bender, but good fun

I really dont know if this post is appropriate , wanted or otherwise. This tune was a pleasure to hear and play, but seemed lacking, or at least unfinished, perhaps for the lack of a B part. So in a moment of nothing better to do i humbly submit something while not by any means amazing, to my ear it...

Keep this in perspective, While there are a few exceptions , if the function is a privately funded affair, try to take the approach of what it would be like to hire a facillity / hall ...whatever. buy food drinks and catering. then pay for the band. if an attendance fee is being charged at the door ...

A dear associate has a very blustery recording of this most wonderful concert, Truely it is a wonderful account of a great many talents, i have tryed to aquire a much clearer copy for prosperity, but to no avail, through retail outlets, if anyone is able to assist me in somehow obtaining a copy of t...

For those who dont know different, Andy Rigby is an amazing musician instrument maker of , celtic harps, and whistles, he has the most wonderful cd called Andology which i was fortunate enough to have purchased . Andy plays with an amazing band called blackwood, a more humble yet destinctivly inspir...

I am a righthanded person who plays whistle left handed, My first experience with playing was on a recorder, and for youngun it was easiest to play simple tunes, on the top 3 holes, as my right hand was my dominant, it was natural for me to do this, When i first began whistle playing, again the domi...

Hey Pete, Your friend is not dead, she lives on in you and all those whose lives she touched, through her music and your efforts she is immortal, I am sad for your loss, but in my opinion, she has left a lasting legacy, for which i am sure she would be proud, not only as a musician but as a giving a...

Well Done, nice playing, and arrangement, Different on the B part to what i have heard before, but still works, and adds to individuality, the arrangement gives the impression of both beauty and power / strength, perhaps just a freckle slower for my taste would have been nice, but thats just me, :wi...
