May 23, 2011Tap to summarizeHmm… this is the recording of my second Tin Whistle challenge: Denis Delaney. Denis Delaney Chris Throup Tin Whistle Challenge "Denis Delaney" Personally, I think I can do better, but the rules (which I made!) say I have to record each week, so I’m not going to let myself off too easily. I have made a number of mistakes and it’s just a bit slow. I played this on my Oak D whistle, which is the first one I bought and still one of my favourites; please don’t blame the whistle for my playing faults! I may revisit this tune in the future, when I have had a bit more practice. But, for now, I will turn my attention to the next challenge coming soon…

May 18, 2011Tap to summarizeNow I am back home, I have been able to record my first Tin Whistle Challenge: The Sporting Pitchfork. The Sporting Pitchfork Chris Throup Tin Whistle Challenge "The Sporting Pitchfork" I have played this on my new Clarke Meg in D. I have made a few fumbles, and I think I need some more practise holding the notes in the higher octave, but I don’t this is too bad for my first challenge. Now I am off to continue practising my second challenge: Denis Delaney (or I could do some work!).

May 9, 2011Tap to summarizeMy first tin whistle challenge: The Sporting Pitchfork. This is an Irish folk tune, which I have found in Grey Larsen’s book: The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle. Grey includes numerous variations of the tune, so I have picked a version I like and transcribed it here. I have used Grey’s own notation for rolls and cuts. The Sporting Pitchfork (MIDI) The Sporting Pitchfork (PDF) I will do my best to learn the tune and upload a recording at the end of the week.
