Re: New Member here
I'm newish to the whistle, and currently have a Dixon Trad D as my favourite, with a Mellow Dog as a pretty close second, although the 2 whistles do sound different, and some tunes do sound better on one than the other. I'm also working my way through the Bill Ochs book, and i know what you mean abo...

Re: What's your story?
I've only recently started with the whistle. My son ( aged 8 ) has been playing guitar for a few years, and it got me in to thinking that it would be nice to play an instrument. I've been getting in to folk music more recently aswell ( although still like a bit of Heavy Metal :D ) and while looking ...

Re: It's started ..
I best buy a few more thenBTW, I've scientifically deduced that six high D whistles is the minimum to start with.

Re: Just got my first whistle
It's surprising the different sound you get depending on how you breathe, but i'm still enjoying learning it
I might get another one or two ( the plus side of learning a pretty cheap instrument ) and see if a different make suits me better.

It just appealed to me, and, having already got a 6 hole Oca...
