Irish Flute
With St. Patrick's Day, I just wanted to talk a little bit about the Irish flute, also known as the tin whistle. Unlike the modern metal flute, the traditional Irish flute is made of wood, giving it a rich, warm, and resonant tone perfect for Irish folk music. It's much smaller than our western flute, played vertically and only has six open holes instead of keys.
My mother-in-law bought me one last year for my birthday, but I haven't made my way to learning it. Does anyone play the Irish Tin Whistle?

When you say Irish flute, does it look like today's flute, or is it a fipple flute, like a recorder?
Anyone else practicing this Sunday? Or are we all watching the game? 😅 maybe I'm just obsessed...

Springtime! Last winter I picked up my flute that sat dormant for DECADES yet came along on all of my cross country moves. So, this last winter I decided to dust it off. I've had all of the pads, cork, etc replaced. I guess I am pleased with my progress (thank you, Reesa!) but spring, summer and fall are all about gardening for me. That being said, I'm still picking up my flute almost daily to get in a little practice, just not the two hours daily that I was doing. I sure have been enjoying the journey.
