Sarah Jeffery demonstrates different finger techniques and effects on the tin whistle and low whistle. Video by Darragh Kearns-Hayes. www.tinwhistle...
Sarah is the best very intelligent and always in her videos a down to earth approach to teaching. Although she has a habit of making the hardest of tasks look and sound simple... #teamrecorder
Honestly, this is one of the best videos I have watched in a long time. Not only was it informative and shot well, but I find you to be a very pleasant and enchanting human to watch and listen to. Thank you for existing.
As a novice whistle player I love this video! It gives me ‘permission’ to just play around with sounds & techniques and to find my own style - thank you 🙏🏻
Coming from classical flute to this is an interesting journey because yeah, we trill and have harmonics and can do all sorts of funky stuff, I'd never dream about hitting my flute. They're so fragile with all the springs and screws. There's something so interesting about how many different ways there are to change the effect of the whistle
You cant articulate ,the techniques without a brand good whistle....any beginner tin whistle will not work. I guess this is somewhere expensive one. May be you can tweak one for your perfection......
I've had my whistle for a few years and I stumbled across this video. I'll definately be experimenting with these techniques later! Another fun thing is covering the hole at the top (I apologise, I can't remember the name) and blowing into it so it makes the sound of a heavy wind, you can even partially uncover it to create the effect of wind blowing through the trees.
As far as penny whistles go all I have is that orinal Clark, way too airy sounding, I have a Thunderbird Low Whistle in D from Kerry Whistles, I think Im gonna get my next smaller whistle from them.
Are you a CGI or you for real? Because either way, I think you were very animated, demonstrative and instructive on another level than most of can only aspire to dream of achieving.
Sarah it looks as if I found your sight a bit on the late side and I am not sure if you get comments (it is now 2021) from your older vids on youtube. Thanks for the various vids on the tin whistle. I am fairly new to this, but I have bookmarked your vids for future reference. BTW my wife's family were Kearns. but they were from the Bronx in NYC. LOL you look very much like our neice Mariane, who is a District Attorney in Manhatten. Hope all is well and pray for my improvement on the whistle as I am terrible so far. LOL
A roll can also be described as a cut followed by a tap. so generally you would quickly lift up and put down the finger above the note in question and then do the same for a finger immediately below the note in question.
Great overview of techniques. I sort of developed half of them over the years without knowing what they were. Like the instrument teaches you how to play it.
Is it possible to make a vibrato effect by, instead of going two holes up, you vibrate your finger one hole up but only cover 1/4th of it? I got a whistle just a couple of days ago, but, seems like an effect to me. Is anyone doing this? Is it a thing?
I have several high D whistles but they seem weak at the bottom end. But your whistle has a full tone, maybe because it looks like a big bore whistle. What make high D do you recommend??? And do you give private lessons via Skype??? I've played the shakuhachi for many years and still trying to get used to blowing softly with the whistles. Thanks
Great post, I particularly liked the way you zoomed out whilst demonstrating the sliding note. I found that not being able to see what technique you applied really enabled my ability to mimic and apply it. It was actually a very helpful lesson and I am genuinely grateful for the post, ta.
This video is wonderfully informative. I am new to the tin whistle thing. What type of whistle are you playing? It has such a clear sound. Thank you in advance and blessings on you and yours!
When you play the roll the taps should be so short that one does not hear them as a note. They are just there to interupt the main note which should be audible three time and of more or less equal length.
Sarah, you have given me wonderful ways to augment my tin whistle playing and thoroughly irritate my wife and family. Thank you very much.
((-,: hahahahaahhah Legend!
my wife got irritated too. So I took up the banjo :-)

If you scrolled down before reaching this point, if you click it now, you will die of laughter without proper context.
6:49 Disclaimer: Don't try this with the whistle held up to your lips
It starts like a normal tutorial and finish on "How to Ligeti"
As a beginner to the tin whistle, but not music in general, I found this video EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!! :)
She is definitely high on her cold&flu drugs from 3:40 on
I only came here cause i thought the blushed nose was cute.

Sarah is always fantastic! Not only in recorder but also in whistle! Wow! What brand is hers in this video?
1:01 Dutch detected! :)

Thanks Sarah!
Thank you so much Sarah, this is fantastic!!!
What is the brand of whistle you are playing, very nice sound?
Simply love it. Thanks!
She didn't even try to hide how much fun she was having - and that is why I stayed for the 7 and a half minutes
Ooh! Look! It's Sarah Jefferey!
I've had my whistle for a few years and I stumbled across this video. I'll definately be experimenting with these techniques later!

I like that, thank you.

you're in for quite a ride! ... brace yourselves ;-)
jk this was amazing!
What is the name of the tin whistle you use? I only have the Original Clarke and the Sweetone D whistle.
It’s a tuneable Chieftain whistle. Sarah has a video on her Team Recorder channel about tin whistles.
As far as penny whistles go all I have is that orinal Clark, way too airy sounding, I have a Thunderbird Low Whistle in D from Kerry Whistles, I think Im gonna get my next smaller whistle from them.
Yeah, I'm pretty good in "random fingering". =)
I love Sarah she's great!!
There is something almost comical about slapping the end of a big ass flute like that. Lol
at 4:59 she's playing Eddie V Halen.. :))
I think this is the best video of this kind on UA-cam. It's so well explained but...
All the contemporary music is just noise
Are you a CGI or you for real? Because either way, I think you were very animated, demonstrative and instructive on another level than most of can only aspire to dream of achieving.
06:23 - Specifically geared toward a deaf audience.
Wonderful !! U have the capacity to get the maximum out of every instrument !!
Where do you buy the flute from the internet? What's her brand?
those random sounds from 5:30 on sound awesome
Just picked up the penny whistle after 2 yrs - great video, thanks!

Hey I don't know if you're aware, but Sarah has her own channel called Team Recorder that's still updating weekly! :D
That Whistle looks snazzy as fuck.
Where have you bought it?
Whoops, just saw the other comment.
Cheers.
What's your favorite whiskey?
This got weird in such a good way.
What named that whistle? Who made him?
I wonder why these arent on Sarah’s channel
Very interesting, very informative and quite impressive!
Very interesting many thanks!

Cool! Thanks for the ideas.
Very good. I can see you are a profesdional musician

Awaesome
Great overview of techniques. I sort of developed half of them over the years without knowing what they were. Like the instrument teaches you how to play it.
Are there any examples anywhere on UA-cam of you employing these techniques in playing a traditional tune ?
Which key is the first whistle in that she's demonstrating on?
It's in D.
Is it possible to make a vibrato effect by, instead of going two holes up, you vibrate your finger one hole up but only cover 1/4th of it?
I got a whistle just a couple of days ago, but, seems like an effect to me. Is anyone doing this? Is it a thing?
She missed overtone playing.

Its incredible rolls. Up down down up ... Is posible in recorder? 01:00 show on. In music. Skyline pigeon elton jonh. Plis!
Very goof demo and explanation. I'm learning and just ordered a D whistle with slightly larger than average note holes, to help the slides.
SUPER
lmao

Amazing
best finger technique video! Tank you very much!
You scared my dog! I have no idea how you kept a straight face during all of that!
Nicely communicated, many thanks.
Any recommendations for a starter tin whistle like this?
Beginner here... would love a tin like the way yours sounds.. What kind is it and where can I buy.. thanks
When you play the roll the taps should be so short that one does not hear them as a note. They are just there to interupt the main note which should be audible three time and of more or less equal length.
Oh Sarah, I love your class, thank u very much ♥
Im genuinley curious, who is disliking these videos?!
What make of whistle are you using?
Thank you so much, Sarah!!)
How to scratch your whistle with your ring...
