I'd be interested in knowing more about this tutorial, including where to
get it. Also, is it part of a larger course? Again, where to find that?
Thanks for any information,

[i.e. D to B for a D whistle]
That tune seems to be derived from "March to the Battlefield", which
itself uses a full octave.

How about the Shetland tune "Spootiskerry"--simple (practically pentatonic), very
rhythmic with lots of repitition. It's alot of fun to play.

I always use Mairi's Wedding in A. Works out well on the fiddle
What about the "Blackberry Bush" reel? It would take longer to learn because
it has 4 parts but it's also a pentatonic tune and sounds similar to this

Bluebells of Scotland springs immediately to mind.
