Sound Clips

While I think that a sound clip doesn't fully convey the overall "feel" of a whistle, it's definitely a good start. So there you are a few clips.

The recordings below were kindly provided by Mr. John M. O'Hara. This is how my whistles sound when played (and recorded) by a competent whistler. Thanks a lot!

• 1 - GG D - Tailor's Twist.mp3
• 2 - GG D - Coast of Austria.mp3
• 3 - GG Bb - Flowers of Miltown.mp3
• 4 - GG Bb - Ann Maguire's.mp3
• 5 - GG A - Gallagher's Frolics.mp3
• 6 - GG A - Flowers of Edinburgh.mp3

I wish I was as good a whistler as John... I hope you will not mind my playing technique. These sound clips were recorded using a simple microphone connected to my PC, and no audio effects were added:

• The Leaving Of Liverpool, low C
• Si Bheag Si Mhor, low D
• Inisheer, low D
• The Foggy Dew, alto A
• The Destitution, alto A
• The Blackbird, alto Bb
• Will Ye Go To Flanders?, alto Bb
• Brosna Slide, soprano D
• Drowsy Maggie, soprano D
• Tobin's Favourite, soprano D
