ust bought a Tin Whistle. I used to play Highland Pipes by ear (not good at reading music), and play the Pan Flute. I love the Tin Whistle and Low D as I can play more Irish style music with them. My question is...are there any fairly easy to learn jigs or other songs I can learn quickly and easily (My Fire dept has a bagpipe band I helped start, and we do a pub crawl...for a fundraiser, and i want to add variety)? Also, is the fingering pretty similiar to bag pipe chanter? Thanks

D xxx xxx (oxx xxx)
E xxx xxo
F# xxx xoo
HG xxx ooo
HA xxo ooo
x=closed hole
o=open hole(The whistle's mouthpiece is to the left)
You should be able to find a simple jig in the music section or check out the videos and take it from there!
