I found this](http://www.cs.tcd.ie/~mcintyrp/Assignments/Flash/Flash%20Website/Tin%20Whistle.swf%22%3Ethis) site : learn to play the whistle on your own with help from the internet.
I posted it to another thread in reply to a specific question and already some comments came in :
'A great resource" (Bro Steve)
'Somebody put a lot of work into that" (Jerry Freeman)
I think this deserves it’s own thread.
Enjoy.
Peter, i think your programming skills are coming right along! Thanks for creating this great resource.
The first link to ever leave me speechless.
Thanks Peter.
Slan,

Once you’ve become an expert in something it takes a lot of smarts to go back and teach the fundamentals. Whoever put this together (Peter??) didn’t leave out the fact that beginners have trouble remembering finger positions for the notes. I love it. Except for the whistle sounds. Bit raspy I’d say. But then again, the beginner doesn’t feel discouraged that his Generation doesn’t soudn like the recording. In this case his Generation sounds BETTER!
I’m absolutely certain Peter did not put the site together. The inference that he did was in jest.

You’re mistaken, Susan.
I know for a fact that it’s Peter’s work. He’s just too modest to take the credit.
Best wishes,
Jerry
It’s inspiring! I’m thinking of doing a poetry site now. I think I’ll have every word in the English language recorded, maybe by those phone company people, stored in a data base, and then linked to each word in a poem so you could get a really good dramatic reading of it. You know, for the nuances which you can’t really pick up from just reading a poem…
Whaddya think?

I’m simply grateful to have this resource to learn what a high B should sound like!
Wonder what he got as a grade.
Carol, I think that would be brilliant… kind of like a high-tech version of those poetry fridge magnets! 
I think that some of the poets that I’ve heard read their work didn’t sound much different than your poem database would sound.

The creator of the website is Patrick McIntyre, B.Sc.
(Anybody know what a B.Sc. is? – I could look it up, but that would be work.)

Decent use of Flash. Will Bro Steve close his site now?
batchelor of science, it’s a degree. The address of the site is cs.tcd.ie computer science at trinity college dublin you would guess.
He’s a postgrad at Trinity: http://www.cs.tcd.ie/~mcintyrp/
I loved the bit where he goes through the scale of Dmajor and sez “D…E…F…F# dat is..G…”.
Really killed me
Slan,
D.
In my day a Bachelor of Science degree was always abbreviated B.S.
Perhaps someone recognized the irony and changed the abbreviation to B.SC. (?)
Will O’Ban
Heh. We always refered to the science degrees as…
BS: Bull St
MS: More St
PhD: Piled higher & Deeper
I achieved the level of “More S**t” (at which point my shovel broke).
Cheers,
John
Do you think he’ll be a bachelor all his life?
Yeah, just like his Father… :roll:
