    if your looking for books you could do a search on http;//www.musicroom.com for buying them online.

    some more good resources can be found on the tin whistle (pennywhistle) from the site below

    hope some of this helps

    as for learning by ear (from a tape or another person playing) you would be surprised how easy it is to play any instrument.

    They're fine for getting the basics, but really you would need to get the gist of a few tracks on your own, then have a more experienced player run through them with you until you get a style of playing that you can transfer to other tunes. Then it's practise practise practise listen listen listen practise practise practise and so on for the rest of your life. Like golf, only worse.
