Hello, I've recently become interested in learning how to play the tin whistle, and in doing so have started making my own whistles, from PVC, copper pipe, and even tried one in wood. But I am having trouble getting a good tone from my whistles, and wonder if anyone else has been making their own whistles and could perhaps help me with the fine "tweaking" of the fipple? http://www.celticradio.net/php/forums/styl...ges/1/icon3.gif |

Hello and thanks to everyone who has welcomed me to this community. Several have said that you look forward to my "posts", but what am I supposed to post? I am up to 5 tin whistles now and still trying to learn how to play. I can play simple melodies to songs that I already know, but have trouble at the high and low end of the scales. And I have a lot of trouble trying to learn a new song from script.
I hope everyone has a glorious 4th.

Hi, I just joined and am stopping by to to introduce myself.
I am a 68 year old retiree, former fish doctor, ergo my username FISHDOC.
I love music, especially Appalachian folk music and traditional Celtic. I am not a musician although I dabble with the banjo, hammered and Appalachian dulcimers, and just picked up a penny whistle.
So I am anxious to listen to lots of penny whistle music and perhaps pick up a few tips to help me learn how to play.
I also am going to try to make a plastic low D whistle from hot water PVC pipe. Eventually I would like to make a wooden penny whistle, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to do this - so if you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Well, good listening to all of you, and I am looking forward to meeting some of you.
