Sorry, i have to upload a real big file but i am running out of time (have to upload today or much later, cause ill not be at home)
but my stupid converter from .wav to .mp3 dont work anymore and a new one i did install, dont work but realy messed up my computer

.... anyway, i have a quick made version
well its 2 parts, one is the "good boy version" could be better but shouldnt be to bad
the second part is...well, i understand if you say its not good but it was fun 😉 i surely shouldnt post that version on c&f because they seem not to have humor when its about playing well 😉 i relay have mixed up different ways of playing and am maybe out of tune, out of rhythmn, out of everything .... but listen yourself

so sorry for the big file, i will change this link later when i am back from hospital and post a smal .mp3 file of the same recording, instead

here we go click me if you want to hear a 22 mb soundfile it will take a while, just wait

oh by the way, that may be the last time that my voice sound that way, cause my operation tomorow may change my voice ...no dont worry, i didnt sing 😉

OK, if we have a funny moments here, I.......[/url]
Unfortunatelly the funny part you have to imagine - My face when I realized that I don't have enough breath 🙂

(Recorded by iPhone, in almost empty room and at Walton's D which requires much more wind. I forgot Mellow Dog at work)

Hahaha, when I was practicing my first scores, i had breathing problem as well. Just save this copy of your errors. You'll be surprise when you are already good listen to this, you will feel such achievement 😀

Angel,
Yes the second one is better. Your cuts are better, you still need to make them a quicker sounding "blip" but that comes with practise.
The biggest thing I hear in your music that you need to work on is your rhythm. Get a metronome of some sort. There are free ones on the internet.
That first whistle sounds like it needs some tweeking. You can hear a lot of air in it when you play. Also get a tuner (also free on line). Your second whistle .... to me sounds a bit flat. You should be able to move the fipple up and down the body a bit a check the notes to see if it's in tune.

I'm the last to post my SOTCD I'll get it done maybe today I'm practicing a the moment hopefully get it up soon. the tune is not strange to me as i have played it many years ago on accordion 🙂

Andreas the player console loads but there was no audio.

Thanks for the link Kmarty.

@ kmarty - thanks for the mp3 converting

@ Angel - Yes i was sick, thats why i had an operation the morning after this quick and dirty recording

@ all - i still couldnt listen well enough to all your recordings, my heradache is still very bad, so my feedback still has to wait
but i have something for you:
just did "chat" with Nik Metcalf the Whistlemaker in an C&F thread and surfed to his website again (beautifull whistles) and was anoyed by music which just started (my headache didnt like it) but hey then i thought "you know that song"
so you may check this link to Nicks version of The Star Of The County Down

"Nick Metcalf Plays Star of the County Down on a Low E Irish Whistel from ethnicwind.com. He also plays on this song Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Melodica, and Percussion"

Its maybe intersting to compare with us 😉
I thought i should do a better recording but now ni think i should do it in a year 😉

Hi..

Thanks for the comment.

The first whistle is brass feadog..it is Breathy by Nature and quite quiet but love the metal color on the sound. It sound more Irish compare to my plastic whistle.

I am trying to hard to get a name for that "Blip" sound. Ok I shall call it "blip". My reflexes are getting used to that. I really hate it when I can not articulate the cut well. There are times my T3 finger becomes lazy to go back to the whistle..that I need to train.
In fact I am wearing a ring made of O-rings that makes my finger heavy....sort of weights for my finger.

Metronome on Internet is delayed in response. Hahaha so i bought a real metro.

The second one has improved tempo compare to the first one, yet when my mind was confused on using tonguing and cutting...i lose my tempo hahahaha...

Also one thing I learned on Tempo..when you Hesitate on hitting a note...it results to delayed tempo.

A bit flat? On my Tuner it is A=440. I guess the plastic timbre of the sound makes it seem as though it is flat. The metal whistles usually has a brighter sound, platic has a different color. It is not dull, but it is loud and very articulate. Thus if the sound is not bright the instinct usually is to discern it as flat.

Well I better drop a version of the song here as well:

Did this recording at the breakfast table first thing while waiting for my boys to finish their meal and rush them off to school.

Hi Gary,

Can I ask if you tongued on everynotes here? I seemed to hear a T-Stress sound on every note except on notes that have been consecutively hit where you cut it instead.

"T-Stress" is the Term I name for momentarily at rest (millisecond rest of note) when you tongue.
Normally you hear this whenever you tongue every note instead of playing a note in onebreath.

Regards,
Angel

I meant that our level and Nick's level is by far different :-). That's why "uncomparable".
We play like children at school :-).

Nick Metcalf Plays Star of the County Down on a Low E Irish Whistel from ethnicwind.com. He also plays on this song Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Melodica, and Percussion

That's a bit silly for comparision. A low whistle where he has really slowed the tempo down and is using all kinds of runs to fill in the space. Apples to apples would be better. It is great playing.

No you are not incorrect in your thoughs. It should be used as inspiration for what can be done. Many tunes are really quite borring musically with out the player adding in their take on it. Slow them down, speed them up, oramintations, runs and fills ... what ever it takes to make a tune more interesting to you and the listener. You also have to be intimately familiar with the tune in its pure form and your instruament to be able to do this. It's little steps for us. He's taken it so far that the tune is barely recognisable, so in my personal view I wouldn't use it for comparision to what we have done.

in china，“youtube”and“facebook”Is forbidden，too terrible！

I was always thought to go back to the pieces you started from so see how you can improve.

So here is mine again.

there are 2 new files added to it.

Sorry im a little busy. Trying to catch up with you guys.
