And as far as I remember, Loren is correct in his recollection.

Re: New Kerrywhistles Site
One last thought....Is Wizzywig really Phil Hardy going incognito? 
? I'll say one thing for all you C&F 'ers....Youall are giving Phil Hardy a lot of press with this thread.

Re: New Kerrywhistles Site
Well I just came back from the old wizz post, I get the humour in it but never noticed as I was writing...if it is not Phil Hardy, then the wizz must be the biggest PH supporter here....I, personally, find stuff like this a little "creepy"....someone lurking around, pretending to be someone else all the while self-promoting, kinda gives me the heebee jeebees!! If indeed it is PH.

Re: New Kerrywhistles Site
Well, I had seven Chieftains (nine if you count the two Phil changed for me when brand new) and sold them all, plus (briefly) an Optima low E I knew was going back within five minutes of unpacking and testing.mickey66 wrote:so many people buy Phil's whistles and keep them
Some others post under screen names, but all I know about in the first person when talking about their own product!And, how many other builders go incognito that the Mods know/don't know about?

If wizzywig is Phil, he's got absolutely no excuse for referring to himself in the third person as in this quote from the V4 Tour thread:
Absolutely none!wizzywig wrote:I think that Mr Reyburn and Mr Duggan have missed the point Phil is trying to make. From what I understand from the video, he states quite clearly that
