Re: Feadog questions mk II.5
This thread has had a benefit for me: I found a Feadog Pro (black top) I didn't know I had, and when I played it I found out that it's a better player than my Feadog Teo Mk1 (brighter green top).
I had been using that Feadog Teo Mk1 top on a Generation Eb body for the Eb slot in my roll.
Now it's the black Feadog Pro top on that Generation Eb body, which plays great.
About whistle racks, when I was going around doing school gigs with a folk trio I wanted something that would show of all the whistles upright in one straight row so all the kids in the audience could see them. I found a wood necktie rack in a charity shop for a couple dollars, it's piece of hardwood around 3 inches wide and 2.5 feet long with a row of 20-odd narrow wood dowels sticking up. I clamped it to a school-provided 8-foot table with a couple C-clamps for each show, it looks good and can't fall over.
