Joanie Madden giving her review on the Lír Whistle

[carlosmedina]

Amazing sound and playing!!! Anyone could see the squirrell at 01:10 in the tree behind Joanie? 😄

[FavianShields]

Love the joy you put into your playing. It's so clear you love the music.

[organman]

amazing! beautiful sounding whistle too!

[jofftalbot]

Awesome. What a vibe you have. Just ordered a D Lir Whistle. Pretty much new to this game but looking forward to the adventure.

[moe]

Just discovered this, you play beautifully and I think you just sold me a Lír whistle

Mná na hÉireann ... the first Irish slow air I ever heard -- in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon (1975). That was what got me hooked to Irish music.

Wow, amazing playing, thanks so much. I like the sound of the Lir and I just ordered one but I think I prefer the Killarney just a tad more. We'll see one I have it in hand.

Because of the reviews from Joanie (whom I enjoyed seeing and hearing at the Javits Center in Boca Raton decades ago), Stephanie Burton "(Cutiepie") and Sean Cunningham ("Whistletutor"), I purchased a LIR, and let me tell you, this 16th whistle of mine beats all the others, including my John Sindt. Well worth the investment and wait for it to be made, engraved with my name, and shipped.
"Kyle" and the LIR staff are awesome!

[jandunn]

love your I am not sure how to get my fingers horizonally straight like yours. Lir seems to be out of the silver flutes in high D. Have you tried the new aluminum one ???

[gcujimmy]

Awesome playing as always. We should also bear in mind this is the first time you have held this whistle.

[KingPhilipsRideshare]

What is that beautiful slow piece you first played?!

[markcgolf]

what tune is that you are playing at the start so beautiful

[kerrinchurchill]

So beautiful. You are very, talented (and nimble). A good person for me to emulate although it's gonna take a lifetime.. :)

[GeoffGoodkin]

Beautiful rendition of women of Ireland.. you must be a Pied Piper! noticed the squirrel coming down the tree to listen.

[mariemorris]

still trying to figure out if that's a squirrel in your tree I think I see legs!

[xanthus]

Now THAT'S how to demonstrate a tin whistle!

[kristianburgess]

Sounds great, what key is this whistle in?

[usernamemykel]

"Piper's" fingering - so THAT'S the secret to your outstanding playing!!
It's been a couple of decades since I've last seen you and "Cherish the Ladies" at Kravits Center in Boca Raton FL. Don't you get older like most other folks???? I'm jealous.

[bonenfant]

Joannie, If by a sad happening you pass before me, could you will me a quarter of your talent ? That's all I want, really :)

[c_farther]

I see you prefer the natural man-look. Whistle sounded great, you play well.
