Some people out there might want to learn how to play the Tin Whistle. If you are that person, here is some advice: In order to get proper, clean tone out of the instrument, you need to first make sure that you are holding it correctly. For right-handed people, the instrument is typically held as shown, left hand over right. For left-handed people, you would hold it the opposite, right hand over left. However, this is by no means a hard-and-fast rule; I actually started out playing the whistle "left-handed" but then switched to accomodate the pipes and flute.
With your left hand on top, place your index finger on the top hole, your middle finger on the second hole, and your ring finger on the third hole. These fingers will now be known as L1, L2, and L3, respectively.
Then place your right hand on the bottom half of the whistle, with your index finger on the first hole, middle finger on the second hole, and ring finger on the third. These fingers will be known as R1, R2, and R3, respectively. More lessons to come.....
