Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Hard to say. Sounds more to me like he's talking about variants of what could be called pedal point (considering you can only play one note at a time on a whistle). Anyone know if the term "pedal point" is borrowed from the pipe organ tradition and used in cases like this, too? Someone told me the term applied, but I'm not sure.

********************************

Never mind. Did some checking, and "pedal point" is the term for the bouncy stuff...presupposing there's a recurring root note to bounce off of. :)

"Tinker's Daughter" That's it! I only knew it as Vincent Broderick's.

Thanks for the good suggestions. "Madame Vanoni" by James Scott Skinner is a good one too. Brian Finnegan plays it on “When the Party’s Over.”
