Any tin whistle players in here?

I've never performed, but I am a self-taught amateur tin whistle player.

Bigger question, are you intending to play a standard whistle or a low whistle. With either, I've used a cardioid mic at about forehead level and pointing downward. I'll vary the direction of the mic slightly based on whether it's a whistle or low whistle. Right now, I like a small flexi-boom mic for my low whistles.

For monitors, I prefer the band mix through the floor monitors and an in-ear monitor tied to my mic.

Has your piper tried the Susato whistles? They're the ones I pick up when I have to play with a bunch of fiddlers. Probably the loudest decent-playing whistles on the market.

It's been a long time back, but I had some luck with a Sure sm 81 condenser mic. It will need a wind screne set up though.
