- Tell us something.: Whistles are fun, whistles are charming, whistles sound nice, whistles are affordable, whistles make us smile, whistles make dogs bark, and whistles upset some neighbors.

Not bad at all!! It sounds like you play other wind instruments as well. (not sarcasm) I meant it the nice way.

Bwahahahahah. Yes, I play other wind instruments "too". Hopefully I play them better than "as well" as the whistle at this point.Tyler DelGregg wrote:Not bad at all!! It sounds like you play other wind instruments as well. (not sarcasm) I meant it the nice way.

......& ukes, I believe......
I'm just starting out on keyless flute & piccolo, but I might get a whistle too.
I'm looking for more direction in my playing, & thought maybe traditional tunes, English/Irish/Scottish, hence the new acquisitions; that & I thought I might be able to acquire a good embouchure if I start out with a keyless 6 holer.

I do like the sound of the flutes but wanted to avoid embouchure so went with whistle as my next "stick with holes" to try.fatmac wrote:I'm just starting out on keyless flute & piccolo, but I might get a whistle too...I thought I might be able to acquire a good embouchure if I start out with a keyless 6 holer.

- Tell us something.: My wife bought me a cheap Waltons whistle as a little "Stocking Filler" Christmas 2015. Almost two and a half years on I now own something like 20 whistles. I don't claim to be a good player but it does make me happy. I was 58 years old when I started hence the username (Also my YouTube channel). I would like to share views with like-minded players.
Re: First 5 minutes on whistle
I went over and saw your first 5 minutes post then noticed you've put up some more whistle posts since then. You are doing great.
