This is sad news indeed! Pat really made amazing whistles and was such a charming and friendly gentleman. Among the different flags he had hanging in his workshop there was a German one I was happy to send him at his request.

RIP Pat, I'll play on one of your whistles tonight in remembrance of you.

Come on, Damien, WHOAD is nothing to be ashamed of!
We all know that feeling ...

What a shame, that some crooks are willing to defoul this fine gentleman's good name for their own profit! Pat's whistles are fine works of art made by a great man and a real master craftsman, and I'm very proud, he sent me some over here to Germany. I still remember him asking, if I could send him ...

Playing together with various church organs regularly of course I need some amplification especially for the low whistles. The AER alpha combined with a Shure headset has proven a perfect layout under almost any situation on the road so far. :thumbsup: Cheers Claus PS: If you want to hear what it so...

What a lovely and wise thread indeed!
I'm a great fan of them gnomes myself ... their magic is truly astounding.

Happy whistling

Well, there's a tune I wrote in 2001 called "One For Dale". It's a rather melancholy kind of tune, but listening to it 14 years later actually I'm still rather pleased with it. You can have a listen on "Clips and Snips". Just scroll down to the very early contributions to this si...

Sad news indeed! A fine gentleman and maker of truly marvelous instruments.
I'll always cherish the lovely whistles he made for me.

This thread made me think of Glenn Schultz, one of the the most amazing and lovely makers, I ever bought whistles from. When first I contacted him asking for whistles in several keys, he sent me to Germany four lovely wooden whistles in the keys I had asked for with a note just saying: "Please ...

Now come on, Nano, there would never have been a really deep thread like this without good old palming Talbert!

Hasn't the palming man touched us all in a way? (Not literally speaking of course! )

Claus ... swinging in the wind like some cactus

Thanks to Talbert St Claire for guiding this forum back to it's former strength!

I still do have tears in my eyes ...

Keep them puns coming!

Tempting ... very tempting indeed!

Robbie kindly sent me the download link for the full album. It's beautiful music and fine whistling indeed.
So don't miss this chance to get this great album for free!

Thanks a lot for your music, Robbie!

Ok, of course it's not the real thing, but it's surely worth a try:

I do own one myself, and for practice, when no real pipoe is around, it works out nicely.

This is sad news indeed! Paul was a truly fine gentleman to deal with. Not only did he make some great whistles for me, actually he also built for me some excellent tabor pipes, which meant a lot of trial and error to him then, as he never had made tabor pipes before. But that was Paul, as I knew hi...
