Watermans on Tin Whistle

Ave Sodalis

Does anyone now if it's possible to play Michael McGoldrick's Watermans on a C tin whistle before I try it, or there enough notes on the whistle? I'm not really familiar with the scale on a flute so can't compare it to the tin whistle Thanks

Here's a link to the sheet music and ABc's on thesession.org.

It's in the key of Em which has F# that you wouldn't have in the key of C. Most Irish flutes are in key of D.

You could probably transpose it into C but I'm no expert.

Here it is on a D whistle, might be handier to play it on a D whistle

Thanks a million!
I had my doubts about a D tin whistle as the original is a lot lower but after hearing that video, it sounds quite good :P

You could D minor it
