Beginner's Page
If you're new to whistles, you've made the right choice in coming to this page. The whistle is one of the simplest instruments ever made, but is capable of a range of expression that is truly amazing.
Most musicians are used to "more expensive is better" when purchasing the instruments that they play - with whistle this simply isn't true! An inexpensive whistle is capable of all the expression of a "high-end" whistle - many traditional Players cherish their inexpensive whistles, and scoff at the idea of paying the high price of a "professional instrument".
In the following pages, we'll guide you through picking the right whistle to start with, and teach you some of the basics of reading sheet music.
