It's always good to develop your own style, although we usually tend to try to imitate to another players. Your style is very particular, I like it, and I envy the strong tone that you get out of your flute. Cheers, Martin P.S.: Just an OT, I put this in the 'Irish Traditional Music' forum, it's a t...

Thanks Kevin, I really appreciate it

Cheers,

I don't know why, but the left hand accompaniment sounded decidedly Russian to me. I like it a lot, but it's not what I'm used to hearing in the small sampling of Irish piano accompaniment that I've heard. LOL, that's funny. When I was learning it, slowly, I thought: ''Cr$p, this sounds like a polk...

In the CD ''Song of the irish whistle'' (where is ''The Immigrant'') there are other great tunes to learn using your D whistle. ''The Level Plain'' is my favorite, and I always play it on my D flute (you can play along the recording with your D whistle) You also can play ''The South Wind'', ''Down B...

I think that that recording had a problem when was uploaded. If not, anyways it's crazy that speed. I don't think someone is gonna play it like that in a session...

BTW, that Telemann Sonata in F is awesome, MTGuru, do you have the sheet music?

I think 5 months may be too early to be thinking in going to a session. Anyways, it's you who should know if you're ready or not. If you hesitate, maybe you are not ready yet. I'd keep practicing at home like crazy, and when I could play at least 10 tunes in a very good way, I would think in trying ...

Thank you very much for the information! You're a big help, as usual.

Does someone play ITM on piano? I've been learning the piano (ok, keyboard) for about 3.5 months. I'm still self taught. Today it was the first time that I tried to play something traditional and here are the results (forgive my mistakes, after 20 takes my fingers were sore :lol:) http://www.box.net...

I don't know exactly what you mean with 'squeaky' but my high D Susato is one of the best high D whistles I have (and I have quite a few). I tried a Dixon high D plastic whistle and I liked it. It was much sweeter and quieter than the Susato, and I was able to play in the second octave very easily. ...

Good job, Arbo!! You really have your own style, doncha? :wink: I don't know what happened with the files, I can't listen to them either. Anyways, I just signed up in box.net and uploaded the files there. Here they are: The Ashplant (flute solo) http://www.box.net/shared/5co28qcst5 The Ashplant (flu...

I was worried ya wanted short & bald

LOL, that was funny

I've played 2 Walton's in my life. One was great. A bit quiet, but played very nice. The other one was almost 'unplayable'. I have some Susato whistles, and I like them quite a lot. I don't think you can get a BAD Susato, or at least I'm not aware about that. I have Susatos in C, D, Eb, E, F and low...

Thank you all!

Hebrew is worse.. For example, for saying that nobody is here, I should say something like "Nobody IS NOT here'' and I ask to myself.. if ''nobody is not here'', so, EVERYBODY IS!! Or another example.. if I want to say that I've never played soccer I should say ''I have never NOT played soccer'...

I've posted this tune with my Tipple flute, a long time ago, now I post it again played with my Forbes flute.. The Ashplant http://bothrops.xanga.com/audio/ebe683526788/ P.S.: I know that a lot of rolls are ''rushed'' and bad executed, but I haven't been practicing too much with the flute, and that'...
