There's a wide, wild world of whistledom out there, and I'm too lazy to re-create stuff that other people have already done well. Go exploring, take risks, and don't forget to write! |

Praise Whistlers Abroad - My internet home community, as it were. Includes a discussion board for people interested in whistle, flute and other instruments, used in personal or public worship. A good set of links, too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Archie's Tinwhistle School - New website by Arto Joutsimäki, a primary school teacher in Kerava, Finland. Good illustrations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Cyberhymnal - The authoritative source for hymns online (imho), with lyrics (all verses), history, midis, and music score in Noteworthy Composer format. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Whistle Shop - Whistles, flutes, fifes, and songbooks. Also a very good beginner's section, including an online tutorial. The Meg is my whistle of choice for groups of kids, and these folks have them for the frighteningly reasonable price of $3.00 each. If that's not good enough, they offer possible discounts on quantities of Megs for teaching purposes. Contact them by e-mail before you order quantities (links on their pages). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Whistle and Drum - Blayne Chastain has a really nifty shop, not far from Whistle and Squeak's world headquarters! Worth a look if you are whistle (or drum) shopping, or just browsing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Mack Hoover - Maker of very nice whistles, known for a quiet, sweet tone. Mack, an all-around good guy, put voice to the idea of Praise Whistlers Abroad, and has supported and encouraged Whistle and Squeak. Mack has also developed a method of making whistles from 1/2" CPVC pipe, with hand tools, for use in missions settings. Please e-mail me if you would like information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Chiff and Fipple - What is a whistle links page without a link to the venerable C&F? Dale Wisely's site is the 800-pound gorilla of pennywhistle websites. A great resource, but you probably found C&F long ago. Dale actually published a letter of mine years ago in his newsletter. Impressive, No? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Chris Peterson's Traditional Music - This page is great! Tunes in midi for listening, and gif format for sheet music. No tablature, and some of the keys may be difficult to play on a D whistle. But, hey, if I can learn to read and transpose music... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Google Tin Whistle Tune Directory - Very large directory of sites with pennywhistle tunes. Content is similar to the dmoz.org directory, plus a Google rating. New Links 11/7/2007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
No commercial consideration - I just like these sites and the people who run them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Please add your penny(whistle)'s worth! Send suggestions, questions, ideas, etc I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to make this a better resource. |
