I guess everyone except me has watched Erik's video 'Some thoughts on the Irish Pennywhistle' before. Brings a tear to the eye.

It says at the end that he uses a Boss RV-5 digital reverb pedal with a Crate taxi amp.fearfaoin wrote:Wow. The first tip is essentially "always play in Edorian". Interesting.
I wonder how he managed to get the reverb only on the whistle and
not on his voice. Didn't look like 2 mics. Maybe in postproduction...

Dear Mark,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have determined that Mr. Flutemaker may be in violation of Section 7 Paragraphs 10-14* of the ITM Code, as well as classified provisions of the Irish Music Secrets Act.
The subject has been identified by IP trace, and agents of SWAT (Special Whistles and Tunes) are proceeding with apprehension and subsequent rendition to an undisclosed location. Efforts will be made to protect the prisoner from injury by angry natives during refueling at Shannon International, though guarantees are out of our hands. Experience has shown that "Pure Drop" interrogation - ejection from the aircraft at 10,000 feet - is effective in eliciting confessions in cases such as this.
Sincerely,
Sgt. Seán O'Hara

(a subsidiary of Halliburton, Inc.)
*Prohibitions include: Fake accents; Impersonation of leprechauns; Excessive use of vibrato and reverb; Rude hand gestures; Silly hats.

He's not really presenting himself as an ITM expert, and he does repeatedly state that it is his humble *opinion*. My concern would be that people who buy whistles based on that presentation will be expecting to have such a sound come out of it. Ain't happenin'! Unless maybe he's including the Boss RV-5 digital reverb pedal with a Crate taxi amp, or a cavern in which to play, along in the delivery.
Ah well... I still think it was enjoyable.

I'd never really pictured a thicket of bamboo as evocative of a leprechaun's haunt anyway...but I suppose they must put up
with its tenacious insistence on taking over all available real estate too.

I actually enjoyed that. Why does everyone have issues with this?
