Book Reviews of Mel Bay The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle
Book Review: Outstanding book for advanced players
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle" (Paperback) is an excellent book for Irish flute and tin Whistle players, but I would not recommend it to a beginner. It has great examples of advanced techniques and is well written. Many hours went into its creation. It is the most complete book I have seen on these topics.
"The Clarke Tin Whistle: Deluxe Edition" (Book & CD) (Paperback) by Bill Ochs, is the book I suggest you start with if you are a beginner with the Tin Whistle. Then you can graduate to "The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle".
