Common examples of this are the end-blown ney and the side-blown concert flute. These include the player's lips controlling the stream of air as it is directed to the edge, without mechanical assistance. Īs is clear from the Hornbostel-Sachs heading, there are several ways in which a duct can be formed. This flow-controlled "air reed" is a definitive characteristic of all flutes, which therefore all have an edge or equivalent air-splitting device. The edge splits the air in a manner that alternately directs it into and outside of the tube, setting the contained column of air into periodic vibration. The accompanying illustration of the mouthpiece of a recorder shows a wooden block (A) with a channel carved into the body of the instrument (B), together forming a duct that directs a ribbon of air across an opening toward a sharp edge (C). Also the drum beats are way better than the clicking or beeping of other metronomes.Cross-section of the mouthpiece of a recorder, indicating a block (A), duct (B), and edge (C)
Musical Metronome I’ve just started using this and I definitely find it helpful in terms of improving tempo and timing. Or you can maintain the speed, but alter the pitch. With it you can slow down whatever tune you’re learning without altering the pitch. For me it’s an indespensible tool for learning a difficult tune. This is a really useful program for writing or modifying ABC notation and converting it to staff notation. Chiff and fipple used instruments software#
Software to aid in your tin whistling pursuits: Even after all these years he practices for hours a day. I like how he emphasizes the importance of practice.
Another documentary about the life of tin whistler James Galway. It features Hammy Hamilton making a whistle as well as several well known musicians talking about their experiences with the low whistle. Definitely worth the watch for all us low whislters out there. Just discovered this cool documentary about the low whistle shown on TG4. The Online Academy of Irish Music ( OAIM) has lots of lessons available, but there is a membership fee. Duns again has lots of videos available on youtube. Chiff and fipple used instruments full#
Mick ? I don’t know much about this guy, but his site is awesome, full of recordings and sheet music for some great tunes, including some rare gems. He also has really pleasant accompanying music and really intense posture when playing. He has a couple dozen good tin whistle videos meant to be tutorials, but he doesn’t slow down, so it’s a good place to go for intermediates. He plays well and has hundreds of tunes recorded to play along with. We never see his face in his videos, just a picture of a whistle. 
No tutorials that I know of, but great to play along with when you get to that level. A really good whistle player who has years worth of videos that really highlight his improvement and developing skill. Odds are, anyone who’s ever held a tin whistle has watched a least one Ryan Duns video. Duns, the musical priest, a great player with lots of videos and quite a few tutorials. Some youtube tin whistlers I really admire: I’m not much of a reddit user and haven’t given it much of a look, but it might be helpful to some. I just discovered that Reddit has a page for the tin whistle.
Ceolas: an online collection of massive amounts of information about celtic music from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Canada, the U.S…. Irish Traditional Music Tune Index has tons of information gathered from multiple sources including background history, albums in which the tune is played, transcriptions and my favorite: top ten tune lists. With Comhaltas as your guide, you can’t go wrong. This is the perfect way to learn a tune, hear it played by the experts. Also, they have recording available for download. I highly recommend their tunebooks, I use all three. It’s a great way to connect with follow players. Focused on all instruments and the promotion of Irish music and culture. 
Comhaltas, Irish for musical association, is another great resource for trad players. Also they have a forum for uilleann pipers and flute players along with a buy/sell used instruments forum. 
Lots of info here regarding types of whistles and recommended makers.
Chiff and Fipple is a forum dedicated to the tin whistler, so naturally us whistlers should check it out. I already have reams of sheet music at home, but this is a great site to get ideas for variation on the tunes you’re working on. If you can’t find it here, it probably doesn’t exist. The Session is an online repository of all things trad. Here is an ever growing list of sites and other things that I find helpful.
