Thank you all for your post, as of right now I am looking at going to a store this weekend and hearing some of these guitars play. I guess I continue to hear alot of good about the seagull guitars, and the shop also carries Art & Lutherie guitars so I am going to take a listen to one of those al...

Seonachan thanks for your reply, and it sounds much like others have told me, In regards to the switching of strings really helping the sound out as well as being a nice affordable guitar. As for the rest of you, Come on now let's hear what you have to say... I'm sure if I posted this in the whistle...

Well it has been probably a few years since I have been on the board I started coming on here when I was 18 to seek advice for playing the whistle and pipes, now I'm 24 years old and and once again am seeking to pick the brains of some of you. Here is the situation I have $350.00 to $500.00 dollars ...

I have been playing the piano accordion for some time in life, and have established my skills to the point people are willing to pay me to play... LOL poor saps. Well my latest adventure was the purchase of a single row accordion it's a cheap one but is really proving to be fun to play in my opinion...

_Gaiteiro_do_Chicago Thanks for you info I appreciate it, I will keep a eye out for something. I know it is only a matter of time till I find something that is up to standard in my budget. Might just have to part with one of my other less used insturments and to get a good box though. Mtguru As for ...

As of recentley I have really been intrested in finding a single row to play Irish music with. I do play piano accordion very well, but I would love to have the sound of a single row opposed to the piano accordion... My problem though is price of all of the single row D's I see tend to be beyond my ...

Also as a note I am reffering to his whistle playing which is on my video it just seems to have something I can't place in my own words, and I have a feeling you could express what I am looking for in words.

Thank you again peter, and good to see you are still on here. I used to be a pretty frequent visitor of this site way before my current accounts 2006 date... But it's been awhile since I have been on here almost two years but I was watching some old recordings of Micho that are from my family over i...

Well peter good to hear from you, and I will take your word on that one, I was going off of information I have gathered from others on the use of stops or pauses in the concertina playing... but I have to say I trust your word on this issue over my other sources :) I personally do not have any room ...

Roger that much I have learned, but it is something that does seem to be of great importance when understanding Micho and his style. As a concertina player he takes aspects of stops or pauses and it really defines his music as unique.

Well latley I have been spending a good deal of time with some recordings and footage of micho russell playing the whistle, he seems to be so unique compared to other performers... now from what many have described it is due to his lack of over ornamentation. He instead uses stops, short phrases, an...

Peter I concur well said... I will leave my opinion at this outsiders are all that are not raised on the music, with the music surronding there lifes. I go to visit family in Ireland and never fail to be amazed at the ability of young and old and how beautiful there music sounds.... Playing by ear a...

Feadoggie... I just ment that being new to the board he could ask for some people who would write reviews that would be well trusted... Sure on a tour any one can sign up but if you really want to get intrest in a product you need a credible source of information.... If joe schmo writes a review I a...

well glad to have you here, and my advice is start a whistle tour... and let some people on here try your whistles and write reviews if it has what it takes to be a great whistle you will be having more orders or more sales in no time at all. It is hard for whistlers to buy something relativly new t...

Couple more points.. First, don't overly fret about the care of wooden whistles. They're quite durable. My own Thin Weasel D is about 20 years old. If they do develop cracks, these are usually quite repairable. Contact the maker. In Glenn's case, this is not easy :wink: but I'm his surrogate. I'll ...
