The first tune is not "The Old Bog Road" - the unusual "high c" note is maybe making you think of that. As usual, the tune has several names - I posted it at "thesession.org" under the title "The Merry Days Of Easter". P.J. Hernon recorded it and called it "McKeigue's". Seamus Connolly called it "The Aughrim Slopes".Harry Bradley recorded it as "Gary Hastings'", but that's only because he learned the tune from him. I don't know the second tune at all. Great whistle playing from Orla there.
I have an Oak, a Susato, a Feadog, and a Killarney. The imbalance of the Killarney takes a few days to get used to but it has a beautiful tone, strong and clear low notes, and the upper register is easy to play. It is a remarkable whistle and I think it was worth the money.
oliopa 1 I have Oaks and thinking getting the upper league whistles but just saw super star Mary Berlin playing a 10 dollar brass Generation whistle What to do?
@@acyutanandadas13264 years too late but you can tell a good Generation by how clear and clean the edges on the mouthpiece are. The heads come from 4 different injection moulds. They are marked on the bottom by tiny dots. My best Generation has 3 dots and the cleanest lines and edges on the mouthpiece. Perfect sound. Even better than the ones from the 80's. But those play a bit cleaner and less breathy.
@@talonbertrand5133 Thanks a lot. Given the availability of tune music on such as thesession it was many years since I worked out the notes from a recording - pleased to see that I was quiet successful in my efforts but the one or two turns I missed and now can repair.
Soundwise this is the best tin whistle ive ever played (better than a Sindt) I had one little grievance with this whistle though. I find that the weight of the head combined with the smoothness of the shaft means that the whistle feels like it wants to fall out of my mouth all the time. This means im constantly having to make slight changes to my finger position as i play which causes me to loose (and I do mean very slight) control as I play. So I sanded the shaft down painted and varnished it with a more grippy lacquer. Now I reckon I own the greatest tin whistle ever made :)
you could make a thumb grip.. look up susato whistles to see what i mean www.bigwhistle.co.uk/image/cache/data/Products/Susato/Susato%20Tuneable%20Low%20F.%20L%20Series%20(1)-500x500.JPG
Thanks. I think I will try that. I already went to the store to buy a caliper to measure the OD of the whistle. I may buy a whistle from them while I'm at it.
I agree! I tried many whistles (Dixon, Susato, Chieftain), but the Killarney beats them all. But I have to say that I only tried the retail whistles, not the ones made directly for the customer, like the Colin Goldie, Reyburn, McManus or Burke whistles. I want to try them too. The Killarney has a very unique sound though, so I think about switching a lot between that one and one of the others.
If you make your whistle out of PVC and poster putty and you PRACTICE, then yes, you will be able to play like this. It's all in the practice. The whistle doesn't bring anything compared to the player, no matter how nice or expensive it is. One of my best whistles is one I made out of some plastic tubing from an old soda fountain with a piece of palletwood fashioned into a fipple plug.
I can't concentrate too much on her playing because I keep looking at her beautiful hair style with that cute headband. It is a hair style which I always have loved and now it is barely seen; specially where I live, in Spain, where most of the women have turned ultra-feminist and very mannish. For that reason, I feel kinda nostalgic when I see her videos. She is the type of woman I like and I can't find here. And I love Celtic music and tin whistle, so this woman's charm to me is very deep.
Outstanding performance, just the top of the tops whistle players
How cud 2 people dislike this that's what I call playing a whistle amazing talent dosnt get any better than this

Second tune is called baolach lough
Amazing reels And brilliant Fingers: perfect way of playing on tin whistle. I also have a Killarney But that does not play So fast:-) :-)

@@acyutanandadas1326 Buy a dozen Generation whistles, throw the worst eleven away, tweak the remaining whistle, then play as well as Mary.
@@usernamemykel good idea

Holy shit
Damn. It's crazy to see how far you can take Tin Whistle.
I've listened to this 50+ times and never tire of it
This is amazing! I wish I could play like that one day
Penny whistle Goddess
Anyone any idea of the name of the second tune ?
Belhavel Lough

I have exactly the same problem! I'm not prepared to sand down the shaft and reapply a more grippy lacquer. Any other suggestions?

@@robertstrauss780 Raise up the lower end.
If I get a Killarney will I be able to play like this ?

Yes
You can killearn it
Is the first tune the Old Bog Road? It sounds similar but the A section seems truncated somehow. Nice performance and nice whistle!
For that matter, what are the names of all these tunes? It's a great set.
R. Cameron Stahl The second tune is Belhavel Lough, I think.
