Re: Your very first tune

I think it was the Mountain Road. At least the first recognizable tune. But I am only 4,5 years into my piping so "learn" is maybe too strong a word.

Re: Monster Grips for slippery whistles

I just recently got a Goldie low C and for the first time I am having a bit of problems with it being slippery. I have long fingers and large hands and have not encountered this problem before.
