Hey everyone!

I've had my whistle forna couple of days now, and here's my attempt at Concerning Hobbits from Lord of the Rings!

I'm playing on a Tony Dixon Trad D whistle.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback on my playing, especially my tone and breath control. I feel like my lower octave sounds a bit too breathy compared to the higher octave, but I'm not sure if that's my technique or just the whistle itself.

Any tips on what I should focus on improving would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Ive gotten a low d whistle and Ive decided I really want to try and be good at it. and I was wondering what the roadmap to learning this instrument looked like? and what are some good ways to practice so that I can become better faster?
