New whistler

Hi all!

I’m new to this board. Have played the tin whistle for 2 years now and also had lessons for the past 2 years. I started with a Sweetone, now I play a Susato (high D), but I’m thinking of getting me a Burke.

Three weeks ago a bought a Tony Dixon Low D and I like it, although it’s rather difficult to play, because I have small hands.

I’ve also learned a lot just by reading this board and still have a lot of catching up to do.

Welcome! Sounds like you’re off to a good start.

Welcome Butterfly! This board is great for learning and laughing, two of the best things there are. :slight_smile:

Butterfly:

Glad to hear you’re learning lots here. This is a really fun place to be, and I know you’ll enjoy crusin’ around here. Keep on whistlin, and welcome aboard!

Whistlerroberto :smiley:

This is the place to be if you are a whistle player. They even let those of us who can barely play join in. Sometimes we talk about other things besides whistles. A few more whistle purchases would be nice. They won’t help you play better but it is so satisfying to have just one more.

Sometimes?? :smiling_imp:

Ron! Let the poor thing get acclimated before introducing WhOA!! :wink:
Welcome, butterfly. We are a nutty bunch (some nuttier than others :wink: ), but there’s no better place to be than here! :slight_smile:

Welcome Butterfly,

I enjoy your taste in whistles. My current favourite (Yes, it changes) is the Susato high D and my next purchase will also be a Burke.

Sit back, relax and Good luck!

Butterfly…welcome…two years lessons…you must surely be brilliant by now! I’ve spent the last two months in a cold garage trying to learn to play a Susato high D, a Chieftan F and an Overton low D. I’m 65 and by the time I reach your standard should be about ninety, if I last that long. But I am still on the lookout to see what whistle I should buy next…fancy a wooden one but Which? Best wishes Les. :astonished:

I like The Butterfly. It’s a nice tune.

Welcome.

Well, I’m not brilliant actually…but I am enjoying whistling and compared to my beginning I’ve learned a lot.

But Les, why do you have to practise in a cold garage?

Yes, it’s one of my favorites too.
