+# Harmonic Frontier Audio – Irish Tin Whistle (Whistle in D), Preview (v0.9)
+
+**A high-quality Irish Tin Whistle dataset — designed for AI training, music research, and creative audio projects in folk and world music.**
+
+**Irish Tin Whistle (Whistle in D)**, a **preview dataset**, created by Harmonic Frontier Audio.  
+It provides developers, researchers, and musicians with a compact reference set, demonstrating the quality and format of the full Harmonic Frontier Audio folk wind instrument dataset series.

+
+## 🎶 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.
