Today its recording day i guess. I am not only in a whistling moode but also in a recording moode.
So i took my Waltons Brass D Whistle and recorded once again Scarborough Fair.

Some of you have listend to my first recording of it and i hope you can see a development.
This time i did play it less fast, maybe still to fast.
Also there are still some "mistakes" but i did take the first recording for a reason of naturality.
I did add some echo wich maybe inst in a way of naturality but i cant resist of adding echos 😉

You can hear that i still have dificulties with the breath and tounge controll on the Waltons (here and there), specialy in the lower tones it has so much "chiff" when tounge it to hard and just a litle bit to fast air comes out, it seams to squeak at the beginning of the tones.
But so more control of this i get so more i like my waltons for its sound. Its a little beast but its lovely. Well they all are, arent they?
Thoughts, critic, opinions, own recordings, ... every feeddback is apreciated.

Oh not to forgett, here is the soundfile 😉 : Scarborough Fair on Waltons Brass D Penny Whistle by Andreas Fischer the german Whistler

By the way, i did play the verses 3 times, i know i like to play everything everytime different, i hope this ones fitt.

Thanks for the feedback.
Feedback is important, thats why i did upload the recording.

Yes it can be that my speed is changing, maybe that is one of my big problems?
Because i am used not to tap to the beat, to be honest i ignore the "beat" i just play like i feel.

I think when playing a dance tune that is fatal.
But what about a song like this, a ballad, no one want to dance to it, is it ok to change the tempo or is it to be avoided?
I dont know and am very unsure.
Is this bad or ok when i change the speed?
Is it " a kind of interpretation" or just "not having a feeling for the tune"?

And, did i always change at the samer places or did i at least play the 3 verses the same way, ...s ee i dont even know when or where i do it i just know that i am always unsure about which speed is right.
in this case i tried to play like i would sing the tune.

thanks angel, thanks this was helpfull
i know that i, same as many other beginners, tend to play to fast
but playing some parts to fast and some not, that was new for me and its a bigger problem i guess and so i apreciate your advices

even if it will be hard for me to work on this, because i do not like to tap to the beat, i never do, and find a metronom duisturbing or just ignore it because i have to deal with other things like remembering the notes or reading them or hitting the holes 😉
also i do like to think about the whistle as an instrument played as used the voice, and for the voice, as you said, tempo isnt that important

same as you did, i take care of the melody but not for the rhythmn
i may have to work on this problem

by the way, i did ask for feedback for this trecording on c&f as well
see it here: some of my recordings posted for feedback at chiff and fipple forum
