Tin whistle videos

Hi all. I made some videos of my tin whistle playing (warts and all) to try and ask for some long-distance advice from some experienced whistlers online. Apologies to my friends and family reading this; please don't feel like you have to watch these and/or come up with something nice to say. Why not go and watch some My Little Pony episodes instead.

Unfortunately the quality is pretty bad, which you might expect since I used the built-in camera on my netbook. I will have to try again once I get a better camera set up.

The Kesh Jig, with audience reactions


Edited to add: Okaaayyy, so the audio and video are a good three seconds out of sync. Pretty worthless as far as evaluating what my fingers are doing right or wrong... sigh...

While I don't play tin whistle (yet), it looks to me like your fingers are synced up with the sound coming out.

Also, I enjoyed this on various levels: I haven't seen you for ages, so it's lovely to do so; it sounds nice; and I think it's brave to do something you're learning and put it on YouTube to ask for help - I am still dealing with Not Wanting To Be Seen, so it inspires me.

And your idea of warts is clearly different to mine.
