Now that is a right purdy set of pipes there.

I think that is what I will have to do, avoid playing songs and just practice scales on it each day until my fingers/brain adapts. I was trying to play Mark Bell's arrangement for "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" on the Low D. I love the sound...when I hit the holes correctly.

I gotta say, two weeks into this Bingamon Low D and I am still having a rough time getting the fingers to where they should. How long did you other Low D players take get comfortable with the hole spacing?

Ah man! I got some dust in my eyes. Pardon me a moment...

It's like following a soap opera!

Happy New Whistle Day (HNWD) to me! And I didn't even know it was going to happen. I was gifted by Dan Bingamon today with one of his Practice Low D whistles. Dan, you are the man! Thank you. My fingers had some interesting learning on the Bb. This is a whole new level of finger gymnastics! :lol: I ...

The hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional mice will be pleased.

I got an update on my order. It will ship within the next two weeks.

Yay!

Once the uilleann pipe kit arrives, I will have to remind myself to be diligent in putting it together. I am like a kid at Christmas!

Digital TV Receiver Box. Plug the antenna into the Digital TV Receiver Box -> VCR/DVD-R. That is what I did. I still have my old VCR. It is in the kids room, but it is there. I set the DTV Receiver Box to the channel I want to record, then set the VCR to begin recording "Channel 3" (the in...

Osage also makes for good longbow wood. And having had to mow near them all my life, I hate them while they are alive. But their wood is awesome for making stuff.

I understand. I'm not saying they aren't worth it. I just wish I could afford one right now. My really big instrument purchase for the year was the uilleann pipe order. Paid for with the $5 a week plan initiated over a year ago. :) Next year's big instrument purchase savings fund is already in progr...

So pretty. So out of my price range.

OK, PM sent.

Received and replied to.

This is cool. And given the incredible deal Tommy is giving me, this still leaves me with what to do with $25 now. Oh, the humanity!

But you still have a whole $50 to spend on a whistle for your wife ;-) :lol: Actually, we get each other corny gifts all the time. Being adults with money, we don't wait for holidays to get what we want. We budget for it, then buy it. It makes Christmas and Chanukah shopping an exercise in humor. :...

I did consider the tweak route on my Gen D. Maybe see if I can mail it to someone to have it tweaked?

As for socking away the $25 for a future whistle, this is more a formality so we have something to wrap up. I tend to buy whatever I want throughout the year.
