  • This is me playing Inis Oírr on the low whistle in St. Bernadette's Church, Belfast on St. Patrick's Day; a sad day, because after this mass, all public masses have ceased for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus.

    Every now and then I come back to this video, and I’m always left with chills and teary eyes. This is my favorite interpretation of Inis Oírr. Full of longing and emotion. I generally love the sound of the organ, and paired to the sound of your low whistle, it feels like a spiritual experience. Beautiful, really beautiful playing from the both of you, thank you for sharing!

    • @monkzie1980
      @monkzie1980  2 роки тому +1

      The whistle I play is called a Chieftains Low D (untunable) whistle. I purchased it in 1998 in a music shop in Belfast, Northern Ireland, when I was a student, for £80. Unfortunately that shop has gone out of business, but you can get the same whistle in many more outlets these days for about £140 - £180. I would definitely recommend a tuneable version though. Definitely!

      @monkzie1980  2 роки тому +2

      I'm sorry, but you're going to hate my reply - there is no best place to buy a low D whistle. The reason is because every single low D whistle plays and sounds and feels slightly differently. The only way to to feel satisfied with any purchase you make, is to visit a shop (or visit the maker, but this might be prohibitively expensive) and play a couple of whistles from different makers. Believe me: you'll find your perfect match very quickly this way! There is no "bad" whistle; just more accurately, a whistle that suits you. Good luck!

I learnt about wind instruments through UA-cam and I keep asking everyone what they think is the best instrument, because once things are imported in the country via online, import tax and services are unbelievably high, and there is no returning the product to the seller again.
