low whistles

Hello I’ve recently picked up a low G whistle and was looking for any advice or pointers in the playing.

Make your fingers very large, long and wide

Check out the video clip tutorials on the kerrywhistles site.

thanks for tht tip gtag. copo me fingers are already that way lol. goes with the territory when you’re my size.

Reading your Bio it looks like you have no Whistle experience, I would suggest getting a High D and learning a couple tunes before going to the lower guys, plus a G whistle is almost useless in a session (but not completly). Kerry Whistles is a good place to go for videos. You may want to pick up some books, I suggest Bill Ochs‘, Grey Larsen’s, or L.E McCullough’s tutor or all three to give different perspectives. if you are 6’6“ a G whistle should be no problem, I am 6’2” and have been known to play Bouzoukis using Mandlin fingerings abd Low D Whistles using standard grip.

Thanks for the advice all it’s grand to have a bit of support here 😉
