#tinwhistle

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Whistle practice time. Stood in my kitchen for ten minutes playing simple jigs, a little blues, The Irish Rover, and I Vow To Thee My Country – all the while watched with great interest by a Robin in the hawthorn hedge. I wonder what he made of it all.

"A Swingin' Safari" is a 1962 #instrumental composed by #BertKaempfert, using his alias, Bernd Bertie. It was recorded by Kaempfert on #PolydorRecords and released in the #UnitedStates on #DeccaRecords. The song features a distinctive main theme played on the #piccolo as substitute for the traditional #tinWhistle, and a trumpet solo by #ManfredFredMoch. The prominent bass line is by Ladi Geisler. Kaempfert's recording of the song did not reach the charts.

Trying to decide which #TinWhistle I prefer (or would be less objectionable to others!). Here is the #IrishTrad Sally Gardens Reel twice through first time on Whistle A and second time on Whistle B.
Interested in any opinions on which one you prefer (i.e. the tone/timbre of the whistles)?
Spectrograms seem to suggest it's not all in my mind and they really do at least sound different...
