Hello,
Is it possible to find a tin whistle teacher near Lausanne in Switzerland?
Thanks and have a nice day, Stefpat :sunglasses:

hi stefpat,

i’m afraid switzerland is recorder and swiss horn country, hard to find a teacher there, but you never know.
there’s a fellow from switzerland on the board but i can’t remember his name, hope you’ll find him.

you do nead a very relaxed pipers grip, explained on many websides and topics, to play a low D.
most people are self thought by either notation or ear.
learning by ear is recommended, but you’ll need a tool to slow the tunes down, and change pitch
http://www.ronimusic.com/ it’s realy worth the money. you can download a free sample.
you can also use abc notation and download the notation at http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/FindTune.html. the abc homepage will give you some guidelines. it’s more recommended for beginners

or you can use http://www.ceilidhsoc.org/musictune.html?Tune=1442&&ceilidhsoc=d3aa41f41b8c01ea8d6501ee6a8b0467

Désolé, mais je crois que tu aurais plus vite fait de chercher un producteur de Camembert dans l’Appenzell… :smiley:

From what I know of Geneva, Lausanne, Francophonic Swiss is whistle desert.

Sorry–correcting–there’s a Thomas Aebi who makes about the best “Irish” flutes around and he’s Swiss (rösti, I reckon :wink:). Why wouldn’t you inquire with him? Make a search on “Aebi” on the flute board…

I’ve met Thomas Aebi at local sessions, he really plays great. Uillean pipes and flute.

Came across this today (looking for something quite different!). There are a few teachers listed for folk instruments. Perhaps someone will know someone…
