    its not really that hard... i only took it up a while ago and have gotten the hang of it pretty quickly... it just depends on the person if you've played anything like a tin whistle before it shouldnt be that bad....give it a go :D

    Have you played the tin whistle before? That would help with understanding the notation, fingering, breathing etc. Like learning any instrument as an adult it will be slightly difficult to get the hang of at the start, it will take time and practice but it's a great instrument to play. The only thing that can really be an issue to get the hang of is the breathing. I'm a flute teacher myself, if you're interested in lessons feel free to PM me.
