#feadog

I don’t want to celebrate St Patrick (after all he tried to eradicate my people 🐍) (and failed) but Ireland is so special to me. So, every March 17th, I celebrate Eire, its green landscapes, its Irish jigs that killed my breath and fingers, its stout beer, its shamrocks and last but not least ... its sheep. I will always remain a space sheep, after all. So merry Irish Day, everyone ! 🐑 🇮🇪☘️🍺 #ireland #eire #irishtoday #irelandscall #irishday #irelandlove #shamrock #irishwhistle #tinwhistle #feadog #tonydixon #tonydixonwhistle #music #musician #happywhistling #claddagh #claddaghring #celt #knit #knitting #homemade #handcraft #leprechauninside https://www.instagram.com/p/BvHh2V4Ho5z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=183xj4k92vrxg

Poor Leea #feadog #feadóg #tinwhistle (at The Liberties Dublin)

So meet my whistle, it's a common Feadóg in D.

Geez though, I want a feadog with a wooden fipple, the one I have is plastic and I like the sound of wooden ones better. Oh well. Maybe I'll reform my opinion when I mod the whistle sometime to make it tunable (right now it's a D).

In the category of instruments I never thought I would discover and then mess around with the idea of learning to play: The feadog, or Irish tin whistle. This is tomorrow's project. :D
