All of these are worth a look, and most have whistle tabs.

My understanding is that for overseas sales, the seller has to get a permit to export, but the buyer also needs to apply for an import permit in their own country. That's probably the bigger barrier, as makers can build it into their planning and pricing, but buyers have got used to a simple online ...

If you want to play pedant, you might decry the use of 'ilk' to mean similar things rather than looms being inanimate. Because (let's just say both Mr X and his looms come from place Y) the original meaning is more about place than anything else. So... MacDonald of that ilk or looms of that ilk (me...

I'm relatively new to whistles, but I've made a point of switching around so that I'm (hopefully) learning breath control and not just the idiosyncrasies of one whistle. Like you, I started on a Generation and moved to a Killarney, but I switched back fairly quickly when I didn't like the shrill and...

... as long as it's in tune with itself ... Is that a straightforward concept for a whistle ? For me it is... needle straight up. Please excuse the newbie question, but I had assumed that whistles were tuned to Just Intonation as I understood that ITM was based around that tuning. Are some whistles...

John Rutzen's bellows are very small, very efficient and beautifully made. I had some on a set of his smallpipes a couple of years ago and they were about a third smaller than my Hope bellows but did the business. I believe he retired this year so you probably won't get a new set, but there's quite ...
