I am in a period of learning the Low whistle in D..and after Irish Boy by Mark Knoppfer I discovered this tune "an Buachaillin ban" which is also called "Dear Irish Boy".
I didn't find any explanation about this tune except this short note on the site https://tunearch.org/wiki/Buachaill%C3%ADn_B%C3%A1n_(1)_(An)
A track with the VSTi Hammond B4 Organ from Native instrument
A track with my Ibanez guitar tuned in DADGAD
A track with Low Whistle in D

A very pleasant listen! You are quite advanced on that whistle and it sounds quite good! What brand is your whistle?

This flute playing sounds very mature to me. I love the deep droning feeling of the organ. I listened in headphones, but I'd love to hear this played loud on a speaker system with the kind of bass that rattles your teeth.

JP I think you are well on your way to mastering the low whistle in D. It sounds great in this song. The whole song sounds good!

this is another level of lovely JP! I like that really deep tone key at the top of the track...really sets a massive mood for that "whistle"...(sounds like a flute or recorder instrument to me!)...
once again, my wife will love this one. I do also...
while I generally don't play real subdued music it doesn't mean I don't love it. It touches a very deep place inside!

This sounds incredible JP! There's something really haunting about flute, especially when it's played in a folky manner like this. You already sound like a pro! I love the atmosphere from the organ and guitar as well.

I love the low whistle - it has a haunting nature that I find really moving. Combined with DADGAD tuned guitar it is sublime.
Tres bien mon ami!

Thanks to all of you
I'm glad you like the low whistle when I'm a little more able I'll try a faster piece but I have to say that slow air goes well with the low whistle
Merci Paul pour le petit mot en français ;)
