Hello Everybody, seems to be a never ending story for the last 4 years with me. I thought I mention on the board that I am not well again for the last month and consequently emails are going out of control again badly as if they had been under control in the last years :cry: :oops: I am not sure how...

Hello Duisg thank you for your understanding and kind words. Yes, I am much better than a year or two/three yrs ago. Unfortunately the time I was able to work without breaks has shortened by a lot. I am actually really missing "my occassional long email nights" which I used to put in to ca...

Hello, long time not see on the board. Of course been watching and reading threads but not been active for quite a time. My apologies to Duisg for not replying to your message you have sent to us. Unfortunately for 3 years now the email situation is not in good shape. I had not been well for a coupl...

Hello and Happy New Year everybody, I have not been active a lot recently but was asked today if I could make people aware again of the music workshops happening in April 16, 22nd - 24th in Germany. As in the past years Alan Doherty is teaching whistles (high and low) again and surely will be a trea...

If your whistle heads are all plastic I would not think it could come from whistle playing and bumping your teeth every now and then onto the mouthpiece, plastic is soft compared to your teeth. If you have metal whistle heads I am sure that biting the mouthpiece is not good for your teeth and can do...

Hello, 'I am not often in this part of the forum but thought this might interest hopefully one or more players to go to Bonn in March and attend. the flute workshop needs one more student to be held, the other workshops have reached minimum attendees already. It is the first Scottisch weekend but th...

Hello just thought I add my 2 cents.... the tube size is 7/8" and the wall thickness is 1.6 mm. I presume that the Löfgren F is made with 1.5mm wall thickness as this would be the standard wall thicknesses you can buy in continental Europe. The UK with also inch-measurements can have different ...

Hello all and belated happy New Year it has been again a long time since I have been active on the board, although I was/am again reading mostly every day. During the last 2 years I have not been very active online or on the computer working but it is for a few months now nearly like back to normal ...

I am very sorry to say that Yann passed away shortly after he has posted his message for selling the Grinter. We received word a few weeks ago. There has been a little information on the french whistleboard and here was a link announcing his funeral http://www.libramemoria.com/avis/le-progres/ain/20...

The whistles in Prayer played by Hans Frederik Jacobsen are whistles made by Bernard Overton and/or Colin Goldie.

It is a very well cut stamp and was hardened. He give it one hit with a hammer, looks quite effortless to me. If you have a design and want them to make you a stamp let us know and I send you the contact info and help with the translation if needed.

Hello Hans
both stamps, Overton and Goldie Colin got made for him, it is one hard metal stamp. Over here small CNC or in our case an engraving company made the stamp and got it hardened.
