Tinwhistle Web Resources 
 
Tinwhistle websites seem to come and go but those listed below are currently free to use with no log-in required.

     This link is an excellent website, which introduces a brief history of the whistle and is beautifully narrated by James Galway. There is also a good explanation of the different sounds whistles from various metals will produce.  Sound files have been provided so you can hear the difference.
