Fascinating discussion - no-one can disagree that there is a complex relationship between the tune, the instrument, the person playing it and the group they are in.

I guess I was just looking for a few tunes that were geared towards the whistle e.g. Si Bheag Si Mhor does sound really good on the whistle as does The Town I Loved So Well and Charlie Hunters. I will, over time, go through the list above.

As I am still learning the whistle I just enjoy playing tunes by myself and it is more pleasing if the tune sounds good on the whistle and if it also sounds good in the first overblown octave then I know I can play at a session and gain some credibility quickly.

Cheers,
