Re: A question about the Generation Greenhead whistles

Post by ChristianRo »

My very first whistle was a blacktop nickel Generation, marketed as a "James Galway" pennywhistle. It was useless for folk, of course, could only play Vivaldi and Bach. I gave it away.

EDIT: Hey, just noticed I've reached 500 posts since June 2001. Congrats, old chap :)

Joking aside, my father once had a guitar made by the famous German guitar maker Roland Oetter (Tony Sheridan had one of his guitars for instance and Joan Baez ordered one but Oetter died in an accident before he finished it, I think) and he wanted it with a blue finish because he plays Blues. Oetter protested but my father insisted. So to my knowledge, that is the only blue Oetter-guitar in existence. The blue faded to green over time however.
That's a great story.I recently bought a Roland Oetter 12 string guitar, made in 1978.I would like to know more about the guitar, are they collectable? if you have any informations I would be most grateful.
