😁 Thank you!! Marion Garver hand makes all kinds of hats for low flutes (including bass 😊) as well as regular concert flutes. They are really fun!

Sure thing! I played an Abell whistle in this recording, my main nice whistle. I love the sound since it is made out of wood. If you can get a whistle, I think it is fabulous! But I do also want to mention that if you are a concert flute player and you play in a band or orchestra or play any kind of classical music, then flute players have to double on piccolo a lot so it might be worth getting first (and you could always still get a cheap metal whistle to play around with until you can get a nice one in the meantime). If you are just playing Irish music though, then getting the whistle first would be great. Best of luck and enjoy!

@@erikaskyeandres thank you for your feedback~ It is just for home use to play hymns. Last 2 questions, is the fingering on the pennywhistle the same as the flute? And what brand piccolo are you playing here? I will look into your other videos also Thank you!

@@wilshawlynnstevens2980 No problem! I play a Hammig 650/2 piccolo. It is a professional model, but I fortunately got a good deal for it several years ago as it was lightly used. I LOVE the sound of this piccolo, it is just so much darker than most piccolos, such a beautiful tone. Although if I were to get one today, I think I would get the 650/3 if possible (it has a special way to play high G#) but overall I am very happy with it. As far as the pennywhistle goes, the fingering is similar but not exactly the same. It is based in the key of D so with all 6 holes covered it makes D, then if you lift your last finger it is E, then with 4 holes covered it is F SHARP not natural, then 3 is G, 2 is A, and 1 is B like you would expect, and no fingers is C sharp. for anything outside D major, you have to either half hole or use what are known as cross fingerings which are all different than the flute. Not too hard to get used to though I think and worth it because while it depends on the instrument, many other world and simple system flutes have similar fingering systems to the Irish whistle. So it makes learning many other flutes easier if you already know the fingerings for the Irish whistle.

No problem, glad to help! My little screwdriver has allowed me to save myself many trips to the repair shop and hope it now does for you too! ☺

You can mostly use the same concert flute fingerings, but I use a few alternate ones for tuning and to get the high notes out. But a lot fortunately transfers over!

Thank you! ☺

@theflutarian Me too! I always thought it was a good tune. So glad someone suggested I play this one because I didn't think about it, and it was a joy playing it on the contra. Thanks so much for listening!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you! ☺

😁 thank you!!

:) Thank you!

Thank you! 😁

Thank you!! Yep, that is in my music studio at home. This view is the only spot that isn't terribly cluttered 🤣

@@erikaskyeandres I like your music studio!😁

@@jihyeflutelab Thank you 😊

Right! It's basically represents the heartbeat. Key clicks sound great on low flutes, especially contra because of all the tubing! Fun doing extended techniques :)

Aw so kind, thank you!! ☺

Yeah pretty tough, especially the contrabass part. But lots of fun! Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! It's a Pearl that I got from Flute Specialists. I had been saving for a while then they had a black Friday deal last fall and so I nabbed it. There should be a link to it in the blog post linked in the video description if you are ever interested in getting one yourself. It is a beast but so much fun to play!!

Thank you! That's great, so cool you are playing ocarina too! So far I have just been playing them for myself, they are really fun! No plans to teach them now, but maybe one day! :)

@@erikaskyeandres Good luck, Erika!!🫡

@@jihyeflutelab ☺ thank you, and you too, have fun!

Aw thanks so much!!

Thanks so much!! Absolutely, flute is the best!! Nice to meet another flutist :)

Right! Irish whistle, penny whistle, and tin whistle are actually all the same instrument.

Thank you! Yes, it is a recording that goes with my children's music book, "Flutie's Family Reunion", introducing the different members of the flute family. There is a recording that goes with each flute.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! My pleasure 😊

Thanks so much!

So sorry, just seeing this comment. It is your arrangement, thank you so much! We greatly enjoyed it!

@@erikaskyeandres I am so glad you enjoyed it....and no apologies....I go treasure hunting on TH-cam now and then and find nice performances of my music like yours.

@@jblinear Thank you! 😊

Hi!! Thank you, yes that's right! It was a performance we did a little while back but I was just recently able to make it public on TH-cam.

Hey Ryan! Thanks so much! You guys sounded great :)
