I might have made a recording of myself. BE FOREWARNED: I have been playing not quite two years and claim no expertise. The clip is Carolan’s Concerto as played (with no warm-up beforehand or editing afterward) on a Feadog brass whistle in D. Well, I say I didn’t “edit” it, but I did have to use Audacity to amplify the volume a bit, as I had my input level set too low, and I didn’t have my headphones on to check it. Otherwise, unedited and unprocessed.
For those interested, this was recorded on a Marantz PMD660 with a Beyer MCE-58 handheld condenser microphone.
I’ve always loved that tune. I thought that it needed to be played on a harp or another instrument that can play chords. Your version shows me that I was wrong.
I am not a trad or itm “guy” but I’ve listened to a ton as it is my heritage. You really did a great job mate, well done. If your not a Brit this take will be your formal induction into our culture, I herby dub you Congrats the Brit (Tapps left and right shoulder witha Chieftain Low D).
Nice job Congrats, on O’Carrolan’s Concerto. Lovely playing.
But I fail to see how O’Carrolan has anything to do with being a “Brit”? I am also uncertain whether or not “Brit” is an acceptable term to refer to Brittish folk by.
