Great idea!


Of course the case would weigh around 30 lbs..

I have had my Copeland in a vegetable tanned leather case since the late 90s in Florida, California and Arizona and no sign of any issues. I too have had the same problem with a Buck knife in it's leather case and can only ascribe that to the tanning process of their leather or possibly the brass fo...

Boswell refers to a brain f*rt! I meant to say Busman Style. Paul recommends his whistles are stored unassembled.

Sorry!

I am working on a dual case for Sindt C and D Whistles which will be ready this week and based on the Busman design. We are working up the prices which will be based on total amount of leather required. I am guessing it will come in pretty close to the cost of the low D case. Why not holsters and sh...

Thanks for the kind words Julia.. This is a picture taken yesterday of a prototype case being designed for a Paul Busman whistle (he recommends storing the whistle unassembled) with a 4 lb scuba weight with no deflection. The rigidity is courtesy of a special moulding process and the Arizona sun all...

Gordon's cases are still work in progress, requiring the final finish and buffing. We can produce any type of whistle case and did a few double partition flute cases for a maker in Ireland. A bigger version of a C and D whistle double case. We are currently building an order of Low D and Standard D ...

We are havinge the 2nd annual Byington winery session on Saturday, July 29th from 1-5 pm. Those of you that attended last year know what a great location it is. There are BBQ grills and tables for a picnic lunch and we'll have wine and snacks for the musicians. This is an "advanced" sessio...

We have the opportunity to have a session at Byington's Winery on Bear Creek Road in Los Gatos. A number of the folks from this forum will be attending. All are invited. If you are not an advanced player, you are most welocme to sit in, do your best, listen and have fun! There will be no play lists,...

I'm terribly sorry that I appeared to "dominate" the session. I have played in sessions with beginners and never had any issues. I also don't know what a "session leader" is. You are quite right. I really should have listened first and realized what was actually going on, rather ...

The Aptos session was the weirdest session I have ever been to. I have been to hundreds of sessions around the world, and a good few beginner sessions, but last night’s was the worst. I have been playing Irish trad since 1970 and have played in sessions with the Chieftains, Planxty, Jackie Daly and ...

I'll definately try to make the Aptos session. The picture here was taken in front of the pub we used to play weekly. It is owned by a family from Ballyshannon. One of the daughters used to play fiddle with us but went back to Ireland and is touring Europe with a band. There was a snug named the Joh...
