I thought Mack was out of the whistle making business for the time being. Am I wrong? :) The good news for all of us is that Mack is still making whistles.

Forgot to mention that the site worked for me too. The new pics are great!

By the way, Mack, I am thinking of writing you a poem about the Whitecap. Still the sweetest toned whistle I've heard. Walden, I'll second that! I love my Whitecap.

Very nice. Nothing sounds like a dulcimer. My sister played for a while - I never understood why she stopped. It is a beautiful sound. It would make a great duet with a whistle. Maybe in the future you can add a track. Whit+ <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: revwhit on 2003-02-17 10:06 ]</...
