Re: I'm not getting my subscriptions
Thanks. That’s really helpful information. I’ll figure out a workaround. I’m thinking that when I stop clicking links in the emails, my forum subscriptions stop eventually. But they seem to start up again after I login to the site. Once I figure out how long it takes for me to drop off, I can figure...

Re: I'm not getting my subscriptions
My experience has been that if I don’t click on one of the topic emails, the topic emails will stop. But if I don’t click on any emails from a series of topic posts, then eventually the forum subscription stops. This seems like a programming error. If I want the forum subscription to stop, I can uns...

Re: I'm not getting my subscriptions
I understand that if I don’t open a message from a post, I won’t get any more messages from that thread. But I should still be getting other posts from that forum. It’s not working. And I don’t know who is in charge of troubleshooting and fixing issues.
Thanks.

I'm not getting my subscriptions
I've subscribed to two forums lists. I was getting the emails when I first subscribed, but now I'm not getting them anymore. How to I rectify this issue?
Thanks.

Re: Roy McManus: master craftsman and gentleman
I'm a new whistle player. While searching for the perfect whistle, I was enchanted by the YouTube clips of Kevin Crawford playing the McManus whistle. I decided I had to have one. I was daunted to contact Roy directly so I bought one from McNeela. Later, when I felt a bit more confident, I emailed R...

Re: Inexpensive Whistles
I'm favoring my Dixon Trad. It's about $30. I like that the tube is slightly larger in diameter which I find easier to hold than the Oak and Blackbird. It's a good starter whistle.

Re: Any thoughts on the new Setanta low whistle?
Out of curiosity, why is ET a bonus? I'm new to whistles and Trad music. It seems to me that whistles are tuned strangely. I don't understand the tuning. The thirds and sevenths don't seem sharp enough to my ear on my Dixon Trad. I thought it was just that one, but it seems to be all of them. When ...

Re: Inexpensive Whistles
Jerry Freeman sells his whistles through his eBay store. A search will pull up his current offerings.

Re: Inexpensive Whistles
If you want an inexpensive whistle, I recommend the Oak. I have one in D that cost about $11. It plays in tune and is tunable. Not sure about a C, as I don't have one.

Any thoughts on the new Setanta low whistle?
I got a YouTube update email that contained a plug for the new Setanta low whistles released in September. It says they are tuned to equal temperament which sounds like a bonus. Also, McNeela is running a Black Friday special on them. I wondered if anyone had a chance to try these out?

Re: Greenest of the Green
I recently started learning to play the whistle. I found this book helpful. It comes with four CDs of Irish tunes. These are tunes you would hear at an Irish music session. Each song is played at practice speed and then at performance speed. The songs are written in standard music notation. https://...

Re: Low D, low air
Sounds like you're in the same boat as me, there have been a few posts on the Kerry Optima on my thread on a good first low D for a not very experienced wind player http://forums.chiffandfipple.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=105631 I considered the Optima too and think it looks great, but haven't boug...

Re: Low D, low air
I have no experience with Low D whistles. But I just ordered a Kerry Optima tuneable Low D directly from Kerry Whistles. It will be my first Low D and seems like a bargain at 85 pounds. With shipping to the U.S., brings the total to $135. Can't beat the price for that quality. But I don't know how i...

Japanese YouTube channel posts demos of many whistles
Hi y'all, I'm just starting to learn about whistles and spent A LOT of time on YouTube trying to find demos of different whistles. This YouTube channel is in conjunction with an online store https://celtnofue.com/ (which offers an English option in the top right corner). These concise video demos ha...
