The fact that this is on a whistle that literally was not built with some of those notes you hear him play in mind, is just unreal. He’s HALF COVERING some of those tone holes to get the right notes that were never intended to be played on there. Just amazing.
I think what i like best about this is, it's an utterly mind blowing one of a kind virtuoso performance - by some ordinary looking bloke in his kitchen.
@@antoinepihier35 thanks for this amazing piece played with such passion.. Just Amazing - I have only heard this played on the pipe organ. The versatility of the whistle I haven’t seen - will be sure to check out your site 🎶
I've had a C whistle for 20 years and started playing it about 8 months ago. I've purchased a D whistle and my boyfriend offered me an aerophone. The more I play the more I understand, but after watching this performance, man, I know nothing 😂 This is just out of this world!
I love the integration of "Irish style" ornamentation into the piece, it works so well! And Baroque music was played ornamented after all! Incredible performance, I just love it.
This is one of the most fantastic things I have ever heard. I had never imagined such a simple instrument could make sounds like this. I really hope the youtube algorithm picks up on this one some day, this deserves to be shown to millions of people!
You have made possible what I would have never thought possible! Bravo. Such virtuosity… in a kitchen! Mind blowing. You have upped the bar for all tin whistlers 😊
This si superb. I taught folk music on tinewhistle for decades, and thsi is some of the best whistling I have ever heard. If ain't baroque, don't fix it. You should do an albums' worth of this sort of thing, 5 years and only 500 likes? Well, it deserves 5 biilion. Bach would be pleased.
Saw someone post this video on Facebook so I came here, started reading the comments and see I wrote the one above two years ago. But I've absolutely no memory of writing it or seeing this video before. Must have been a heavy session!!!
Anybody know what whistle this is? This is one of the most brilliant solo instrumental performances of all time, and should be performed in great concert halls rather than a kitchen.
@@antoinepihier35 awww really!!!!?Thanks for the kind words, I will let you know for sure hehehehe, still manage to try if i can master circle breathing and use it on the BWV 1006 preludio then i can complete them and upload hehehe, you are awesome, it’s so luck to find a whistle player who plays these great pieces like you on TH-cam, salute :)
Antoine; I am aware that you've modified Bach's piece considerably to make it doable on a whistle, but if you learned that by ear and had no dots for reference below you whilst playing, then that's a fine and heroic feat of memory! Do more Bach!
A flauta é um tin whistle irlandês em ré. Se você quiser aprender essa música, eu ouvi versões de flautistas clássicos na flauta transversal de metal e tentei adaptar uma versão para tin whistle.
Wow, that was fantastic. I wouldn't have thought it was even possible! I hope you don't mind if I ask a couple of questions: First of all, I haven't seen many wooden whistles, so I'm wondering if you can play the same piece equally effectively on a more standard metal whistle, or whether this whistle contributes something special. Second, do you also play the recorder? I play the recorder in Irish sessions, which some people do not consider entirely appropriate, although I do try to play in as traditional a style as I can manage. Your wooden whistle sounds a lot like the wooden recorder I play in sessions, so I was disappointed that there were so few videos on your channel, because I would love to hear some traditional jigs and reels with that wooden whistle sound. Please add more! 😀
Hello and thank you for your message ! I will transfer to my brother Antoine. He has his own chanel and a band now : Moher Bzh, that’s why there is so few videos here. You can watch the clip I made for Moher here : th-cam.com/video/brXIE2S4z6M/w-d-xo.html And you can watch more on Antoine’s TH-cam chanel here (but he’s not posting anything new at this moment) th-cam.com/channels/eSnFg7U09rAZ-reZ327g7g.html
Hello and thank you for your message! The half holing work very well on a good quality metal whistle, on Generation whistles they also work but the sound is not clear, you hear more air blow in my opinion. The choice of the wooden whistle is more for the warmth of the sound, which suits me better but it works in exactly the same way as a metal whistle. I don't play the recorder (at least not since middle school...) but I think that as long as you play in the style, there are no limits to the instrumentarium. I have a friend who plays the clarinet and she plays the style perfectly, with the ornamentations so it sounds very good ! If you want to listen jigs and reels, you can follow the links that Leslie suggested to you, or otherwise there is this old video from my 20s..! th-cam.com/video/r5SCT81e5yQ/w-d-xo.html
This is amazing. I've never thought that halfholing on a whistle can be so effective. I imagine how loud and penetrating the highest notes must be, especially on a soprano D whistle. Truly masterful, anyway. Have you got some any lower whistles. Do you plan to post some more videos with classical music? Best wishes and much respect. This video deserves to have a million views.
Hi and thanks very much for your message. I play mostly on this whistle, but I have another one lower, in G. You can hear it on this site : soundcloud.com/tags/tin%20whistle%20flutalor on the tune who call "La Sorcière". And you will can hear 2 others classical tune, "La marche Turque" and "Bad in Riz" (La Badinerie). Bye, Antoine
So gorgeous, such a great technique! Keep playing like that and make people believe that whistles are not toys for playing only diatonic tunes! What low G whistle do you play?
Thanks Piotr, I agree with you, it's not a toy only for diatonic tunes, I wrote something on this subject for my studies : www.irishtrad.fr/coffi/Antoine%20Pihier/M%C3%A9moire%20Antoine%20PIHIER%20tin%20whistle.pdf It's in french sorry... My whistle in G is from a french instrument maker who call Yvon Le Coant, very nice whistle : www.lecoant.com/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=61 Antoine
Merci ! Quelqu'un qui ne savait pas lire la musique m'a appris. C'est très courant en musique irlandaise. C'est une musique de tradition orale, la transmission se fait donc quasi exclusivement à l'oral. J'ai appris à lire par la suite mais je ne déchiffre pas vue, je me sers de la partition quand je trouve trop difficile de détecter une ligne mélodique.
Merci. J'ai toujours aimé la musique irlandaise (entre autres). Quand je suis allé à Dublin, j'ai été frappé par une chose : la musique est à tous les coins de rues ainsi que la poésie, l'amour des mots. J'aime aussi passionnément Bach.
Half-holing to get the full scale and lots of practice. You could probably also use some cross-fingerings like on the baroque flute but that depends on the whistle. On a thick walled model, like this one, a lot of the cross-fingerings should actually work. There are fingerings charts online for baroque flute or marching band fifes. A lot of the fingerings can be adapted. The most difficult note is to half hole the lowest note to get D#. You need the right whistle for that. That's also the reason why baroque flutes have one key - it's mainly used for the D# or Eb. The more impressive feat is memorizing this whole tune by ear.

Brings a tear to my eye. I’ve been playing since December and this just gives me fucking wings
You have made possible what I would have never thought possible! Bravo. Such virtuosity… in a kitchen! Mind blowing. You have upped the bar for all tin whistlers 😊
I feel that wooden whistles don't get enough credit,I believe that they were the original during the Renaissance, maybe I'm wrong. Great video
Fantastique, bravo et merci

Utterly unbelievable! Congratulations!
Uhhhhh, STUNNING AND BRAVE 🙄🙀❤️
Brave?
@@OriginalFallofMindyes, brave. Not many would dare perform such an iconic piece 😜 🪈Not an insult I assure you. Very impressive 👏
I dont believe in what i am seeing :OOO
Vraiment fantastique. Quelle dextérité ! Bravo !
mind blowing
can you please upload a music sheet for tin whistle?
One of my favorite pieces. My dad played for me and our family once in the church he worked at. SO beautiful!

Just amazing!!
Awesome. Where could I find the score to play in D tin whistle?
I learn it by ear from classical flute version, no score I think... Sorry...
I did not want that to end. Hope you are still playing.
Late to the party a couple years, but great job! This is the way to do it :)
em qual tom a flauta esta? e onde consigo aprender a tocar essa musica?
A flauta é um tin whistle irlandês em ré. Se você quiser aprender essa música, eu ouvi versões de flautistas clássicos na flauta transversal de metal e tentei adaptar uma versão para tin whistle.
Outstanding!
That was awesome, and I don't use that word very often.
