For traditional inline tone holes, all the holes are lined up in one straight line down the flute. This gives the flute a symmetrical look and a traditional playing experience. For smaller and mid-sized flutes this generally is not a problem. When you get into the larger size flutes where the stretch is slightly out of your comfort zone, switching to offset tone holes can make the flute more comfortable and easier to play. Offset Tone Holes Normally, if the flute fits your hand size, you can easily play using inline tone holes. However, as you reach the outer limits of your finger stretch, your fingers are more comfortable by rotating the holes slightly on the flute. The actual positions vertically on the flute can’t be changed without changing the pitch, but the tone holes can be rotated around the flute without any change in pitch. For our offset tone holes, the first finger of each hand is in line with the mouth hole. The second finger is rotated slightly away from the hand, and the third finger is rotated closer to the hand. You can see this in the illustrations below.

  • Some Acoustic Characteristics of the Tin Whistle
    Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics SOME ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TIN WHISTLE POAL Davies ISVR, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK J Pinho ISVR, Southampton University, Southampton, UK EJ English ISVR, Southampton University, Southampton, UK 1 INTRODUCTION The sustained excitation of a tuned resonator by shed vorticity in a separating shear layer 1 or the whistling produced by the impingement of thin fluid jets on an edge 2 have both been exploited by the makers of musical instruments from time immemorial. Familiar examples include pan­pipes, recorders, flutes, organ flue pipes 1­3 , and so on. Over the centuries, the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skill for their successful production must have been laboriously accomplished by much trial and error. A more physically explicit understanding of the basic controlling mechanisms began to emerge during the great upsurge in scientific observation and discovery from the mid­19th century, as this was also accompanied by the relevant developments in physics, acoustics and fluid mechanics. These mechanisms can take several forms, depending on subtle differences in local and overall geometric detail and its relation to the magnitude, direction and distribution of any flow that is generating sound. One such form includes many examples of reverberant systems, where separating shear layers 3,4 provide the conditions where this coupled flow acoustic behaviour may occur. It is well known 1­4 that whenever a flow leaves a downstream facing edge it separates, forming a thin shear layer or vortex sheet. Such sheets, which involve high transverse velocity gradients, are very unstable and rapidly develop waves 1­4 .

  • Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
    GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival.

  • Fourteen Folk Dances
    Fourteen Folk Dances with guitar accompaniment Arranged by Peter Billam ©Peter J Billam, 1986 This score is offered under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence; see creativecommons.org This printing 15 February 2014. www.pjb.com.au Fourteen Folk Dances, with guitar accompaniment There are four polkas: Davvy Davvy KnickKnack, Spanish Ladies, I’ll tell me Ma and The Glen Cottage Polkas;two hornpipes Castlekelly and Cronin’sHornpipe;two jigs: Lannigan’s and The Rambling Pitchfork;two mazurkas: The Munster Cloak and Sonny’s Mazurka;areel The Old Grey Gander and an old Scottish tune, Over the Sea to Skye;a set dance The HumoursofBandon and the old English tune Greensleeves. These dance tunes are from the Australian tradition, which is very strongly based in its Irish roots. The tunes can be played on descant recorder,orontin whistle, violin, concertina, or anytreble-clef instrument which comes to hand. The lowBinthe Glen Cottage Polkas is fine on violin or concertina; on recorder or whistle it would be best taken as a G. The accompaniment is for guitar,and the guitar parts are not difficult. Some of the accompaniments fit on four strings and could be played on tenor banjo. For the HumoursofBandon twoalternative accompaniments are offered; if twoguitars are available theysound good if both played together. The Polkas would go at about 138 crochets/min, Jigs and Reels at about 60 bars/min, Hornpipes about 80 minims/min. Typically,these dances would be played through twice, then followed by another of the same type. The HumoursofBandon is a set dance that would go at about 108 dotted crochets per minute.

  • Ventus Series: Tin Whistle
    Ventus Series: Tin Whistle An Impact Soundworks Library Designed by Constructive Stumblings | Performed by Josh Plotner ​ ​ ​ Scripted by Nabeel Ansari and Andrew Aversa ​ Instrument v1.00 OVERVIEW ​ Our Ventus Series of ethnic woodwind instruments began with the Japanese Shakuhachi, and continues in this ​ ​ installment with a journey to Europe and the wonderful Tin Whistle, most closely associated with the Emerald Isle ​ ​ ​ itself - Ireland. This gorgeous instrument, a type of recorder, has origins dating back tens of thousands of years and has found its place squarely in the heart of Celtic music among other things. Its pure tone is also instantly recognizable in some of the most beloved soundtracks of all time, such as Howard Shore’s score to the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. ​ ​ Much like the Ventus Shakuhachi, our Tin Whistle is sampled in meticulous depth with a wide variety of ​ ​ articulations, ornaments, and phrases to inspire your music and creativity. Use it for soaring, agile solo performances or slow, flowing and emotive parts; it works just as well! Of course, the instrument also includes our Total Articulation Control Technology (TACT), unifying and ​ ​ simplifying the process of creating your own personal mapping setup for the instrument. We hope you enjoy our Ventus Series Tin Whistle! ​ ​ INSTALLATION ​ 1. Install the Pulse application if you don’t already have it. Pulse is a cross-platform desktop app that lets you ​ ​ ​ ​ download and install your libraries with blazing speed! https://pulsedownloader.com/ 2. Once Pulse is installed, open it and enter your Ventus Tin Whistle download code. Follow the instructions to ​ ​ download and install the library.
