I just recorded The Fair Haired Child that I learned in honor of my 3 year old.

That was just lovely, 2JM! You're breath control is wonderful! My daughter wants to know what kind of whistle you're playing there. I bought her a fife when we went to Concord earlier this year, but she hasn't figured out how to make the sounds yet.

Fifes are very hard to play from what I understand. Get her a whistle! Click here for a good place to start. It's where OT got her first whistle, btw.

Oh and the particular whistle I was playing was a Feadóg brass D. You can get them on Ebay for a few bucks, but don't come with any tutorial, and I wish Hair had the tutorial...it would help her. If your daughter has any kind of musical experience though, she probably doesn't need the tutorial and could get away with just a whistle alone.

I've bought 4 whistles from this guy in Ireland.
