FREE TO GOOD HOME!

Hi all, In the interests of preserving marital tranquility in the household, my apartment is undergoing a massive de-cluttering project. As part of this, I wish to relocate some of my whistles, about 9 or 10 of them. They are a fairly fine assortment of cheapies--Feadog, Clarke, Walton, Generation, ...

If you like a brown patina or wish to have a close relationship with the products of the Nevr-Dull company, buy Brass Pro...If you abhor polishing whistles, buy AlPro. LOL I <i>thought</i> I liked shiny whistles but after getting the Burke I have since learned that, you know, I really would prefer ...

I wish the real story was as interesting as the one about Crystal People. I haven't run off to get married yet; that happens on September 21. (And it's not even a secret, and I am marrying the person everyone thinks I will.) Well ok.... I suppose part of the story is interesting in its own graphic w...

Sure, a lot of these cases wouldn't stand up on court, but you still have to have a lawyer to defend yourself. And I'm afraid that unless the case gets a LOT of press and interest, you would have a very difficult time getting free representation. How many cases like this are there? Do they all get o...

I just read of a similar case this morning, on Salon.com:

Pretty bad.

Lessee... I don't know about the other types of brass Burkes. The wide bore model seems to have a lot of fans. I have not read any reviews of the narrow bore. I too was a little overwhelmed at first. I thought of writing to Mr. Burke to ask for more information. I would still recommend that someone ...

Yes-- Suddenly I can practice a lot longer at one sitting. Buying the Burke was one of the better decisions I've made. Even if I don't play only that one whistle forever, I will improve much faster now. This is probably true whenever you upgrade to a SuperWhistle... no matter who made it. Something ...

Time frame for me = just a few days. They must have had one on hand and mailed it within a day or two of getting the order. This was a Session Pro D in brass, don't know if the other models would come this quickly (or how many they have on the shelf!) You could always ask them, of course, but I deci...

A Burke session pro in brass. Thanks to all who offered their advice a couple of weeks ago. I love it. It's a little on the quiet side, quieter than I expected when people told me it was quiet, but this is good in a primary playing-at-home whistle. It is shockingly in tune and this will take me a lo...

Yes. Feadog makes both plain brass whistles and also whistles of painted brass. Now they come in nickel too. There are choices to be made when you buy them :wink: At least if you buy them by mail. I photographed painted ones because they show up better in the pictures. Previously, colored brass Fead...
