Hi,

Being brand new at flutes and whistles, I just thought I'd drop by and give an introduction. Lately, I haven't been writing or reading much, or practicing my music. It's just more fun making them, than playing them. Of course sooner or later, I'll start playing.

Tyghress, and I swapped a couple of my whistles, for a low d flute. Her flute was much better than my whistles, but I'm getting better at making holes. After figuring out how to make different tones come out (at first it didn't make any noise), I made a couple, a d, and a low g. Flutes really do sound nicer than whistles, of course, I don't have very many whistles to compare with. A generation d, a sweetone d and c, and some I made. They sound good to me, but quiet, and some of them change octaves to easily.

Just thought I'd say hi.
