Yep! Tis a fact!

Thanks for the kind words, and thank you for the interest in my whistles. I stopped making Bluebirds because it has been impossible to get consistent results with them and I was going through a lot of wasted time and frustration. The frustration was compounded by the fact that Iarla McMahon won the...

Liked this! good Job!

Unfortunately, I sold the one Bluebird that I had. I was told that he altered the playing characteristics of his newer Bluebirds. I was actually surp...

Sorry to offend you!
