Hi!
Sorry for not introducing myself more properly, I’m in a stressful situation here.
And I’m sorry if there’s another forum for this kinda topics..
My name’s Len, I’m putting together an album.
Everythings recorded, except the tin whistle.
I was just about to do that earlier, and I tell you I’ve only played the whistle for a couple of months. I don’t know if my whistle is out of tune or not. that is the problem anyway!
I thought I could atleast ask someone here before I call up the producer n tell him the project has been delayed.
So if there’s someone who can help me out on this one for a few dollars(let’s talk about that later) in exchange, I’d surely appreciate it.
All you need is a D-whistle and a decent recording device, maybe even an Iphone is good enough for the job. There’s two songs that needs the irish sounding whistle, fife or penny whistle. And the songs are very easy to play. Don’t think twice, just send me a PM as soon as possible. Thanks!
So, are you the main musician on the album, Len? How far out of tune is the whistle you’ve got? What make is it? If it’s a Generation, a Feadog or something similar, they are sometimes a bit sharp until you loosen the head and pull it out a bit to bring them down to concert pitch. If you can do that, that might solve your problem, I guess.
I’m just thinking that it sounds as if it would be easier for you to find a way to do it there rather than collaborate long-distance, as it were. I mean, you might still find the same tuning issue with someone else’s recording, apart from anything else.
Hi!
Yes I’m the main musician. The tuning issue is not that big a deal, really. If you were listen to the guys jamming on the bandstand, you’d love it! But on a studio-album it just doesn’t fit in.
Personally I think it sounds out of tune beacuse I can’t handle the instrument as good as I want it.
The brand is: SHAW
Ben, thanks for the tip how to fix this problem.
As I said I’m in a stressful situation now, and it would be a lot easier if someone else could help me. And the collabrate long distance is no problem, I did that with the backing vocals. Turned out great!
Well, you’ve got me curious at least. Would you like to e-mail me the tracks? Are they in e-mailable form? How on earth I’d record to fit I can’t quite work out, but you never know - maybe I can figure out a way …
Perhaps you may like to post the files or a link, specify a time limit, and allow all and any interested players the opportunity to send you a sound file (specify type & quality) response, from which you could pick and choose your preference? Even if it is just the tune(s) name or notation - don’t forget to specify a tempo if there isn’t a track to play along with.
I wouldn’t mind having a go!
Cheers,
Paragon.
I’d love to give it a try too. I work cheap 
Ah, to be sure, you can’t tune a Shaw.
CASE CLOSED!
Thank you all for helping me out, this shows people can be real nice at communities after all 
I will definitely stick around on this forum from now on.
And I will let you know how to get your hands on the finished project then.
Thanks again and see you later,
Len
