Re: Ornamentation

I agree. Didn't mean to imply that separating consecutive notes of the same pitch was the only purpose, and re-reading my post I can see that it sounded that way. Cuts and taps are also used to articulate individual notes in many other cases. I guess the "articulation" part was what helped...

Re: Ornamentation

Does anyone have any tips for how to get good at ornamentation or any resources/tutorials that you particularly recommend? Hi Amergin. I've always found Grey Larsen's approach to ornamentation very helpful. It's a more analytical approach than many. It really made sense to me and allowed me to get ...

Re: Anak Whistles anyone?

Hi all. I received my Blackwood head - aluminum body, high-D Anak whistle this week. The design is really interesting and unique. It's a nice looking whistle. The upper octave sounds great. However, the lowest few notes of the lower octave jump to the upper octave too easily for my tastes. I've gott...

Re: Anak Whistles anyone?

Hi All. I just ordered a high D Anak (blackwood head, aluminum body). I was quoted a 10-day wait/shipping, so maybe they're more caught up on production currently. I'll post my thoughts once I get it. I've been playing the same whistle (Humphrey) for several years, and this will be my first new whis...

Non-Irish music that fits on the whistle?

Hi! I've been playing traditional Irish tunes on the whistle for years, but I've got a hankering to try something different. Anyone have recommendations for other specific tunes that fit on the whistle (it's range and diatonic limitations)? I don't mind half-holing to get an f-natural or g-sharp now...
