For citation, see DOI link at bottom of this page 🎶 About the Irish Tin Whistle (Whistle in D) The Irish Tin Whistle, also known simply as the Whistle or Penny Whistle, is a staple of Celtic traditional music.Its bright, pure tone and expressive breath articulation make it a central voice in Irish folk performance and modern Celtic fusion styles.This dataset captures high-fidelity recordings of a D whistle played by Blake Pullen, covering core techniques such as cuts, taps, tonguing, and scale exercises across lower and upper octaves. Unlike reed instruments such as bagpipes, the whistle offers dynamic breath control, attack variation, and transient-rich articulations — all valuable data for training AI timbre models and expressive synthesis. If you find this dataset useful, please consider giving it a 🤍 on Hugging Face.It helps other researchers and developers discover the resource more easily. 📂 Contents Audio Files (.wav) Recorded at 96 kHz / 24-bit WAV format Exported as mono Includes natural breath noise at note onsets (intentionally preserved) Linear-phase high-pass filtered at 100 Hz to remove subsonic rumble Fade-ins and fade-outs of 2–5 ms applied for transient consistency Categories in this Preview Scales & Exercises D Major Scale – Lower and Upper Octaves 5-Note Scale Exercise Scale Exercise in D Major Ornaments Cuts (A, E, F#) Taps (B, G) Tonguing (D, E, G – Lower & Upper Octaves) Short Tune Snippet Short melodic phrase from "Scarborough Fair" Metadata (.csv)Includes structured fields for file name, instrument, category, content, note pitch, vibrato (true/false), BPM, mic position, channels, sample rate, bit depth, recording chain, and dataset version. 🎤 Recording Notes Recorded in a treated studio environment using a single-mic setup: Main mic: Oktava MK-012 cardioid small-diaphragm condenser Recording chain: Zoom F8n Pro → Oktava MK-012 → HPF 100 Hz (24 dB/oct, linear-phase) Recorded at 96 kHz / 32-bit float, rendered as 96 kHz / 24-bit mono WAV files for release.
