Congratulations now what got me started in to tin whistle was the song the parting glass, amazing song, but your reviews got me started on your channel particularly the Clark sweet tone and the Lir tin whistle videos. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us.
Hello - congratulations, your comment was selected to win the giveaway! Please connect with me via email (my contact is at whistletutor.com) or DM on any of the socials (@Whistletutor pretty much everywhere) and I'll get the package sent your way - cheers!
This is amazing sorry I am slow to reply I have emailed you.
Last September my wife bought me a Walton's D whistle in Mystic Connecticut, so naturally I went to UA-cam to figure out how to play it. I spent some time scrubbing through videos and eventually I ended up on your Star of Munster lesson. Even though I had no tin whistle experience before this (I played ragtime guitar and cajun fiddle, totally ignorant to traditional Irish music), I could tell you played very authentically, unlike most others on UA-cam, and I immediately, really loved that tune, but I couldn't yet play it, so I decided to watch your beginner lessons. Afterwards, I learned this very song, The Lilting Banshee, made sure I could play it all the way through, and then I went more into learning ornaments, also with the help of your videos. I haven't used any other teachers or online tuition, save maybe for reading some old forum posts, except your videos, and even though I can learn most songs I ear, I still use your videos to find great new (to me) tunes to figure out! Now, I'm looking to pick up the pipes or flute once I feel really satisfied with my whistle skills!
Why I love to watch your videos is mainly your ability to teach simply. It feels like you're just sitting down with a friend and sharing your love of music. Thank you for what you do. 😊
Congratulations! On looking through all the tin whistle channels for tutorials, as I am a beginner, I kept coming back to yours. The way you explain and play, makes it easy to learn. Thanks you.
I stumbled upon your channel because you reviewed 3D printed ones. Since then I watched a couple more of your videos and really like them 👍 Please keep up your great work 👌
Congrats on the 25k! I think I started watching your videos when I was trying to learn The Humors of Glendart jig. I also love the ones not related to tunes like session etiquette, learning by ear, how to arrange sets, etc. Thanks for all your work!
Been following you for years, I think it started for me trying to figure out ornaments. Thanks for your dedication to us! Your work has helped me become a better musician
Fairly new to the channel but dang do I wish I had found it much earlier. Your take on a favorite tune of mine, Hector the Hero, was what really got me watching.
I fell in love with Irish music after visiting Ireland! I got my first tin whistle in Ireland and quickly went to UA-cam looking for anything whistle related! Your content has been incredibly helpful teaching me so many things. I stick around for the music and the knowledge
Congrats! Your rendition of the Kesh is what made me stay. I hope someday to have even a little bit of your perfect ornamentation!
I wanted to watch one movie and I stayed here. That was four years ago :)
Congratulations! Im following the channel about 4 years and found it because of your exercises and ornamentation lessons. Loved it 😍 also i like to watch you flute lessons and real sound whistle comparsion 😊
I’m glad your channel is growing! You deserve it. One things that I really appreciate about your channel is the effort you put into presentation of content. I’m in my mid 30s and have a fair amount of experience playing other instruments. When I started to learn, I had a hard time finding someone who would teach to the musician. You have a great knack for teaching to both the new learner, and the person who has been playing for years. I’m by no means an expert yet, but I find that I rewatch your videos, and often learn new things about songs I’ve learned from you before. I have found over the past year that playing the Tin Whistle has brought me much more joy than I was expecting. I play daily, often just making things up, but in those moment’s I’m really happy. I think your educational work here has been a real source of that joy. Giveaway or no giveaway, I hope you read this. You are a fantastic teacher and musician. Thanks for the effort you put into doing this well.
Congratulations! It's long overdue and fully deserved! ❤
The slide show brought back some happy memories, especially the one with the Irish flag on the wall behind you. My introduction to taps, cuts, rolls, slides and crans came through precisely those vids. I believe the first couple of reels I learned were Green Mountain and Silver Spear. So thanks a million! And congrats on 25K!
I actually watched one of your videos comparing Dixon whistles but one of my favorite was your Whiskey in the Jar video. I like that song, too!
I was searching for 'The Foggy Dew' for tin whistle and found it on your channel. I also love your Flute playing very much.
Congrats on 25Κ Subs! This channel helped me a lot to choose my first whistle but also to learn my first techniques, years ago, when I was still rookie to the instrument.
Congrats! I definitely wouldn’t have stuck with Irish music and the tin whistle threw the real beginner stage if it wasn’t for your very clear instruction and beautiful playing of your own! Thanks :)
I have found your channel when I was looking for a whistle comparison before buying the first one. Sticked around since then for the masterfully played tunes and tutorials.
Congratulations , and thanks for the time travel :]
Started watching when I was searching for whistle tutorials that were clear and had fun tunes. I appreciate your gentle words in these crazy times
Well Sean, despite your preference for Sligo wear, (I'm from Mayo), I just really enjoy the simple way you have in explaining tunes, working through whistle differences and your honesty when it comes to teaching, learning and playing. As a new starter @48yrs of age (2nd lesson only last week) I'm quickly getting sucked down the rabbit hole that is Irish music and while there is a believed simplicity to the whistle, I'm learning it is so much more. And thankfully, from your videos, I'm learning it's accessible...Other videos are convoluted or tiresome to listen to so that's why I'm here to hear...😄
Congratulations on 25k!
Love your stuff, got me playing both whistle and flute. Not sure if this video kept me watching, but I received my flute for Christmas, and have fond memories of watching "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for the entire holiday break.
Thanks again for all you do.
A year ago I watched Outlander and felt in love with Scotish and Irish folk music. I bought basic Feadóg tin whistle, downloaded "Stóras na Fideig" learning book and played till I learned the basics. Tin whistles are not so common in Poland, so I gained much attention while playing with friends. I started searching for more and found your channel. Don't remember specific video, but I subscribed immediately. Thank you for great content!
Honestly, my subscription started with the beginner lessons - literally Lesson 1! I've gotten a lot from this channel and have really appreciated it.
Congrats on hitting 25,000! The first one of your videos that caught my eye was your basic Irish flute video. I instantly subscribed now found your give-away! Count me in!
I've had a whistle since like 1992 and subscribing to your channel makes me feel like I'm actually gonna learn a tune on it one day.
I've been following along with your lessons for around 4 years. Flute and Tin Whistle. During the early Covid days, we even did a Zoom lesson. I appreciate your talent, style, and the way you teach and explain. Seeing the real world results in your sessions and group plays is also a great benefit. Congratulations on the milestone and may the next one come swiftly behind.
Really enjoy all your videos. Hard to choose a favourite. Most recent favourite is the Legacy Jig video. I used your video to help nail down the tune. Keep up the great work in keeping the tradition alive!
My mother brought me home an oak D whistle from her trip to Ireland and I went on here looking for beginner lessons and you were the first video I found. I’m glad I did because your videos helped me learn properly and it has been enjoyable!
Awesome to hear! Congratulations! Your least favorite tune video made me laugh, and still does whenever I play that darn tune. All in fun, your reaction was a reminder of the sense of humor needed to play these beloved tunes. Thanks for putting them out there...
I first heard your short, Lady Ann Montgomery. Love your channel! Congrats on 25,000. 😊
Hi Sean - I can't honestly remember what first attracted me to your channel but I just appreciate your sound advice and sensible, down to earth approach.
Hey, Sean! Congrats on the milestone!! I found you the day I picked up a Milligan D at a flea market and had no clue what I was doing! You taught me Fraher's Jig and I was hooked!! I didn't think I would like the short form reels, but you pack alot into a little time!! Your personality, teaching style, musical knowledge and high quality video production skills are what set you apart, keep up the great work!! I actually won the last Lir D you gave away, so I will bow out of this ocntest. Good luck, all, it is a great whistle!
Congratulations on 25000! Here is for many more.
To me it was the Piper's Grip video. I had been struggling with my Low C for a while... and to be honest, I keep struggling, but it gave me a really nice understanding of it and it was really good fun to watch. Keep it up!
I’m still around Sean because your videos are extremely professionally produced, and I love them all. You’ve been there from the start for me and it’s your videos which helped me truly progress. I’m fascinated with your dedication to not only the whistle but to teaching and creating high quality content. Your generosity is inspiring :)
I too am another pandemic player! I started up with rolling in the ryegrass and have been loving all of your videos since!
Currently working on ornaments and adding them to the tunes that I know.
Found you looking for reviews and beginner tips about 3 years ago, subscribed because I love your playing and your manner of presentation. Thanks for sharing your talent
Thank you for this! I bought a cheap tin whistle years ago on a visit to Ireland and never thought much of it. But recently, I randomly picked it up again and decided I wanted to learn to play properly. Of the videos I found on UA-cam, yours have been the most informative and the best produced. Thank you for your efforts!
Basically all the comparing whistles videos. Really helps when I go shopping and have to make a decision.
What caused me to subscribe was your videos on ornaments. Although through the years my interest in whistles comes and goes, whenever I get back to playing, I always end up getting back to the channel as well.
Congratulations on 25K- I don't remember which video it was specifically that made me subscribe, but once I watched a few I was hooked :) I like your teaching style and the filming
A couple of months ago I bought a Generation whistle so that I could get back into the tin whistle after a 15 year break! (I learned in school as a child. A very common experience here in Ireland). I sought out a tutorial for Sí Bheag Sí Mhór and happened upon yours. A deep dive into your channel revealed you’ve got so much high quality content so I stuck around. I’ve also been recommending your channel to learners who buy tin whistles from the music store I work in.
Love the Sligo jersey! Glad you had a good time on your most recent trip here.
Same experience here, only it's been 8ish years for me since primary school. I've really grown a new appreciation for it since. When you're taught it with a bunch of other squealing children, it's hard to see the beauty of the instrument in those moments Hahaha.
I found your channel a few years ago during lockdown. That's when I thought about learning tin whistle. Find all your videos amazing, so thanks for that, and congratulations on the 25k subs
Congratulations. Im pretty sure it was Jim Wards jig was the first vid of yours i watched. Love your tiktoks and longer form youtube stuff.
I found your channel looking for practice tips. I finally subscribed when i watched your video reviewing Killarney whistles! Also want to say one of my favorite videos you did was parting glass. Thanks for the great content.
I just started playing a month ago and find channels like yours invaluable to help me learn tunes and give motivation to keep going.
I like watching the whistle reviews. I recently got back into watching more of your videos after the Clarke revisit.
Howdy, congrats! I've enjoyed the whistle reviews and comparisons you do. They feel honest and unbiased. :-)
You’re one of the best players out there. I love listening to you play. You are a good teacher and You make it look easy. Thank you! ❤
The video with the song Rocky Road to Dublin made me subscribe and check your videos from time to time. My main instrument is the alto saxophone, but I love how easier the whistle is to carry around.
I know I missed it but you have been my go to while trying to learn the tin whistle so your beginner series is what got me hooked. Thank you for teaching me a beautiful instrument!
still around because you're the best around. chill, thorough breakdowns, and when you play normally at the end it's like magic cause my whistles never sound that good. Thanks for the great lessons, wish I could take some from you locally!
Congrats on reaching 25k! Although I haven’t watched much of your channel yet, you and other creators have hooked me into trying tin whistle. Like others, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack introduced me to tin whistle.
It was definitely that beautiful parting glass you did a while back. I had been around before, but that was what made me stay
Was interested in getting a Lir and wanted to hear it. Started looking at your tune videos and finally hit Subscribe after hearing you do Castle Kelly.
Your videos helped me when i was starting out... the way you teach and breakdown tunes and ornaments is just great for any level of player.
Congrats on 25k! That's no easy feat! What got me interested in your channel were the Irish flute videos (such as how to take care of them). I've been interested in Irish flutes since I was a little girl getting started with the concert silver flute. It was only after college that I found your videos. I stayed because of the tutorials you do and because of the beautiful music. I ended up learning The Rolling Waves on my silver flute because of the video you made a while back. Thank you for your passion and hard work!
Congratulations and thanks for having the idea for this channel. When Covid hit I decided to make a serious effort to learn Irish trad whistle and flute. Like 24,999 others, I scoured the net for learning aids. When I found your site I knew I had found something special. I like the honesty of your whistle reviews and commentary. And your lessons are like having a private tutor. The tunes you pick are, I have learned, standards. So I know I am getting a good foundation. I would like to see more videos about flute technique and tunes. So keep'm coming!
I think it was the Sherlock Holmes reel , the Congress . I can sorta almost play it. I loved your Concertina Reel a few weeks back . Awesome playing .
I apreciate the way you teach, You very evidently put real effort into your content and it defenetly hints at what kind of person you are. Your family and friends are lucky to have a lad like u around, man! Keep it up and keep blessing us with your amazing content! 🤗
Congratulations on 25k, my favorite video are the tin whistle exercises I need all the help I can get
Of course congrats on 25k. Your latest 'The Foggy Dew' was the best.
Congratulations! Found your channel looking for beginner lessons and ornament breakdowns. really like videos on Humours of Tulla and Morrison's Jig
Thanks for all the great videos Sean. Truly inspiring to watch and listen to a beautiful player. I am looking forward to the content as you gain your next 25k subscribers. Blessings to you and yours....
I'm staying for the excellent lessons :) The production value is also there and it makes your videos fun to watch. Your personality is also entertaining so wishing you double the subs as soon as possible, cheers!
I started picking up Tin whistle during covid and love how you didn't give me an easy out with tab sheets. I wanted to develop my ear for music. Thanks a ton
For me, it was your ornament videos since I've heard the sounds before but often didn't realize what was actually going on with the fingers. Though I've learned a few tunes here and there as well. Cheers from West Virginia!
Congrats! Love your ornamentation skill-building exercise videos. 😊
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. There has not been one specific video that got me to stick around. Rather it was the series for beginners. What's kept me going is the new consistent content. You're amazing
Cheap tin whistle comparisons my favorite video, cuz that just the one I have 😂
I’ve played around with a plastic flute-a-phone ( not sure of the spelling) but this has less holes, and it may be easier for me to play. Plus, I’m part Irish! Cool channel!
Saw the Beginner videos and they caught me and I've been subscribing ever since.
I've been looking into getting a higher quality whistle lately.
I found your videos trying to work on The Rolling Waves. Love the content!
I'm still around because I enjoy listening to you play, and I really like how you explain it. I can usually listen to what you do and say, and then play it on my silver flute (I haven't been brave enough to try a whistle....yet).
I’m a total beginner, just started doing lessons and came across your channel while trying to figure out what whistle I might upgrade to from my generation. I need all the help I can get sound wise!
Congratulations on 25k! When I started playing tin whistle, I was searching for best options, decent quality whistles for someone who just started. So snce then, whistle comparisons.
Oh I just love your explanation and easy to understand demo. I would love your merchandise and wish your band would visit Australia. ❤ I threw my cheap generation D against the wall the other day as it tends to squeak in higher register.😳😳🤔😱
Nothing to do with my playing style🤔🤔😆
A friend of mine told me about your channel about a year ago. I play the Native American flute and have always wanted to play a tin whistle.
🦉
All your ornament videos! You've got them master and really teach them so well!
I am fairly new to tin whistle, and have loved watching your videos as I try to learn. I can't name one in particular, as I really just enjoy your videos overall. The content is thoughtful, and well delivered. I do really like your videos that show beginner/intermediate/advanced versions of tunes. You are really good at teaching--thank you for all your effort!
It was the whistle comparison vids that made me subscribe. When I was getting back into the music after several years away I wanted to pick up a higher-end whistle. I ended up with a Killarney.
Congrats on the 25 000 followers!
I started following your content around the same time you were making a transition toward a more studio-like setup. Just discovered that it's been 12 years now.. wow! I thought it'd be more like seven or eight.
There weren't too many in-depth breakdowns / tune tutorials then, and your lessons would be hugely helpful to me when I was starting out.
The channel has come a long way since then, with the quality of the content progressively getting higher and higher, and although now I mostly learn by ear, I still appreciate you sharing your thoughts / process around other trad-adjacent topics like gear, practice routines, accompanying songs, whistle comparisons etc.
Thank you for all the good work and excited to see what comes next!
I have been enjoying your videos for years, thank you! I like how you have turned into such a high-quality video maker with your equipment while maintaining your chill attitude. Keep going.
I started with good ol' 5 Tips for Beginners and kept up the journey from there. Lessons are very well explained and at a good level for new players
Congrats ! Advanced technical videos (such as improvisation and variations) made me subscribe to your channel...from France! Good job for the tin whistle which is the instrument with the best ratio simplicity/sophistication (in my humble opinion).
Congrats! 25k is way, WAY more than most youtube creators ever hit, and you've earned every one! My first video of yours that I watched, was your Cooley's Reel ornaments guide. Here's to 25k more in the coming years!
Hi, studied in Durham, UK a couple of years ago and bought then a freadog starter Set, which i loved, but i didn't get better until i found your tutorials. So thanks for your great advices! Now i play a Tony Dixon, which i love. Your Video is awesone by the way. This is one of the few tunes i am able to play on the accordeon!!! Greetings and congrats from the southwest of Germany!🎉
Because I wanted to buy one and not good which one to buy! Then this would be a nice chance to start if I won this!
Your videos teach you a lot!
Good man ! I started by looking through all your flute and whistle tips, stayed for the good tunes !
Wow, Way to go!! 25K is quite the feat. Thanks for all those years of teaching us. Yes, I stick around to learn...
Congratulations! I stuck around because I enjoy your whistle reviews.
All your ornamentation --HOW WHEN AND WHY took my playing up several notches and I enjoyed playing a lot more too. Thank You
Very cool tutorial thank you! I really appreciate that you name the notes, and break it all down into bite sized steps.
Congrats! I starter with your 10 beginner lessons two years ago, and stuck around sińce.
Congrats on the milestone! I started watching from your whistle comparison video. Great stuff and I’m looking forward to many more videos!
I started following you for the whistle comparisons and the general whistle and flute lesson you made, cheers!
Bravo de France pour les 25 000 Subscribers déjà ! 😁💝I participate in the draw game
Et Merci pour ce cours très instructif ! Heureusement qu'on peut mettre la traduction automatique, même pas parfaite ! 🧐 Et donc je suis abonnée depuis quelques mois pour apprendre le Whistle !
Hi,many thanks for your help really appreciated.
Congratulations! I got pulled in by the getting started with tin whiskly video!
