The Level Plain

Does anyone know what kind of whistle Joanie Madden plays on The Level Plain from her Song of the Irish Whistle cd? Also, is there sheet music available for this piece?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Gabriel- Sorry I can't help with any insights on the O'Riordans, but what the others said makes sense to me. I just wanted to tell you I love your avatar!! Is that a friend of yours? One of these days I'm going to figure out this computer stuff (maybe I'll just let my teenage daughter do it!) and...

Double posts

Hi I'm new here and have only posted a few times. I must be doing something wrong as I see my posts are listed twice when I have replied to someone (whistle forum) I would really appreciate someone explaining to me just why this is happening. I don't want to annoy folks with my stupidity, and I admi...

hi Pieman I'm new to whistles too, and as you can tell this is a great place to get many opinions! If I may add my newbie two-cents worth- you may want to get at least two whistles to start with. I didn't, but placed two more orders after receiving my first! That's the wonderful thing about whistles...

Ithilien (for those who missed it)

Thank you Cees, for posting this! I am new here so have not seen (heard!) this before. What a beautiful piece! We are big LOTR fans so it was especially appreciated. Someday maybe I'll be able to play like that... or not.... :lol: **Tina I love your collie!! I have two shelties (who don't seem to mi...

Hi Cynth-
Thanks for clearing that up!
I'm always learning something new here :)
Now, if I can figure out why my reply was posted twice... sorry about that, I must have hit the wrong button :oops:

Thank you Tommy for clearing that up for me :)
I was just about to post and ask that very question, since I received my Feadog yesterday.
But seriously, folks (ok not too seriously) how do you pronounce Feadog? :-?

Thanks-

Hi Steffie- Yes, I am brand new to whistling (and playing any instrument!) My first whistle was a Clarke original (with the book and cd) which I have had for about 2 weeks. I love it, but people talk about comparing different whistles so I decided I better order more :D So, I just ordered a Clarke S...

Hi- I ordered my first whistle from Thom a few weeks ago and received it promptly. I then e-mailed him to thank him and received a nice e-mail back. I believe someone has mentioned he has had trouble with spam and he mentions it on his contact page as well, so perhaps that is what happened. I was ve...

Still Another Noob intro.

Hello list! Feeling emboldened by the other noob posts I thought I would come out of lurk-mode and say "hi" I am not a musician (other than piano lessons as a kid and as much as I hate to admit it Mom was right -I should have practiced!) but something possessed me to try the whistle. I rec...
