This is a very good collection of tunes for the Tinwhistle. It starts
with a brief history of the whistle, and is not only full of wonderful Irish tunes, but
also includes short biographies , pictures, and arrangements (including
ornamentation) by some of the most talented whistle players ever (see 2nd pic
below).
Included are arrangements by:
- Mary Bergin
- Vincent Broderick
- Mioho Russell
- Donncha O'Briain
- Paddy Moloney
- Seán Potts
- Míchéal Ó halmain
This book is not intended as a tutorial
It has no fingering charts, or note explanations. It is an excellent book for someone that
is familiar with the whistle, and even has a page of recommended listening (Discography).
You will need to have a Whistle in the key of D to make proper use of this book.
All the tunes are written in keys that are meant to be played on a D whistle. Take a look
at the Whistle Section of our online
catalog if you need a D Whistle.
