We finally decided it's a good moment to let You all know about our Goldfinch Whistle in a form of a World Tour. Back in Poland, we recieved a very positive response from our community, including a couple of great flute and whistle players (Ewelina Grygier from Danar and Witek Kulczycki from Duan) who chose our whistles as their personal sidearms.
Check Goldfinch Whistle website (http://www.goldfinch.eu) for recordings made by Ewelina and Witek using our instruments.We're pretty fresh to Chiff and Fipple and it's our first tour-thing, so we hope we won't cause any unnecessary organizational problems. Here go the rules (I guess there should be some rules, shouldn't they?
):1. Beginning from today till the 30th of April every single whistle fan interested in testing and reviewing our Goldfinch is warmly invited to send an e-mail with his name, adress and contact e-mail adress on whistle-at-goldfinch.eu, so we'll be able to sort them all out and post the queue-list in "geographical" order here.
2. The general idea goes like that: We send whistle to the first person on the list. The person sends us e-mail notifying of it's arrival. The person tests it for time up to more-less one week, contacts the next person on the list by e-mail, gets that person adress, sends the whistle on and informs us about that fact aswell. The last person on the list sends the whistle (or what is left of it
) back to us.Again, to make things simple:
1. Your Goldfinch arrives - write us an e-mail.
2. We send You an e-mail adress of the next person on the list. You contact him/her and get proper location adress.
3. You test the whistle and post a review.
4. After a week (or earlier) You send the whistle to the next person.
5. You send us an e-mail notifying of sending it on.
That way we will be able to track Goldfinches on their way.
(Thank You, Ben, for sharing Your experience!)
3. We'd like to avoid problems and tricksteries, so as the list will be ready, we'll send to participants only proper e-mail adresses of the people who are queued to be next. We simply don't want to distribute somebody's precious personal data. It will be Your task to contact the next person and get the proper adress.
4. Participants are obliged let others know, how they find our whistle!
5. Depending on the number of participants and their location, we may divide this tour into two, getting America Tour and Europe Tour.
6. The only requirement is sending the whistle after and taking care of the Goldfinch Whistle properly during one's testing time.
If you've got any ideas, hints (etc.) - we'll happily consider some innovations to our humble tour project!
We hope that our whistle will be a cheering experience to You!
