Huge Whistle Youtube vid

Colin Goldie must have been feeding this whistle on steriods. :laughing: :laughing: :boggle:

The other whistle vids by the same player.

They are all good, but my favorite is the one on Low D. :heart:

That’s our own fellow C&Fer hatao (Tomoaki Hatakeyama). A great musician and teacher and a very nice guy. :slight_smile:

In case anyone’s interested, the tune on the lowD is “The Lilac Reel” and the one on the highD is “London Lasses”. I don’t know the name of the tune Hatao plays on the lowlowG, but it must be the melody of some well-known song…

Yes … The Foggy Dew (also mentioned in the YouTube comments).

Whistle, flute, low wistles… All gorgeous !

Okay… gotta practice some more… bye.

:slight_smile:

…john

what a great player

I just added another rendition of the Foggy Dew to the YouTube whistler’s group.

They are quite the opposite of big, though.

Hatao is a great player. I saw some of his videos when he posted links to them on C&F.

I saw these vids originally on Doc Jones site (www.irishflutestore.com). Check out the Butterdogs site if you can read Japanese:
