So I sold everything I owned and bought a sweet-tone on the internet for $2.95, and the rest is history. :D Well...I have Irish blood and this has always facinated me :D My Grandfather on my dad's side was Irish.

I'm new to playing the whistle and I was wondering whether to train myself to play by ear or to learn to read music. I could see the positives and negatives of both. I've now been playing the whistle for about two weeks and I've found that I need to listen to the music as well as read it. Some notes...

Thanks!

I know the feeling! I'm new to playing the whistle I ordered a Clarke Sweetone from the Clarke website last friday. I received an email saying my order is being 'processed'...but I haven't heard anything since. Anyway...I went down to my local music shop (I wasn't expecting them to sell whistles...s...
