Oh, crap, crap, crap!
Some of my whistles didn't make it back, and I'm squealing and squawking like a demented loon! My Mack Hoover narrow bore is all messed up, the fipple is bent and the delrin is shoved under the sound hole. The fipple on my O'Brien is cracked...the Overton made it OK, takes a lot of breath I don't have, yet... the Tully made it OK, too, needs a shine, tho...O K, so time to get some repairs done, and I'm not gonna DIMyself! Dang, that O'Brien was my favorite!

Re: Oh, crap, crap, crap!
Very sorry to hear of your predicament, but you didn't hand carry your favorite instruments? I don't trust anyone else with mine.

I should have (love this hindsight sh*t) hand carried them, but had a helper packing stuff and the whistles in their container were packed...It was a tough moved back to South Dakota, looks like I'll just have to suck it up and get my wind back with what I got!

Re: Oh, crap, crap, crap!
I believe O’Brien is a member here. He may be able to fix your favorite whistle. A quick message to him might suit you well. Best of luck to you.AnnaDMartinez wrote:Some of my whistles didn't make it back, and I'm squealing and squawking like a demented loon!

Good luck putting your whistles back together, and in the future, I'll bet you won't entrust them to anyone else ever again. I certainly wouldn't. Moving can be really tough.
