Hi,

I have noticed that at sessions the tin whistle gets drowned out by the accordion, the violin and the flute - unless the tune uses the upper octave (overblow) in which case the piercing sound carries over the other instruments.

Now, my question is, what tunes do you know on the tin whistle that use the upper octave effectively i.e. the nicest part of the tune or one of the nicest parts is played on the upper octave ?

Cheers,

Seany
