I have a Carbony medium whistle roll which I like. It's well made but I cannot figure out how this thing ties correctly. The two strings for tying seem off somehow. Any one else have one of these rolls? I can't really explain it any more than that. Thanks

I stated before that my first whistle was an improved Feadog. But, it was actually a regular Feadog that was very inexpensive and then I got the improved to see the difference. I've never played a Generation but with all the love they're getting I may need to give one a go.

Just wanted to say hello. I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I've had a whistle for a couple years but really started trying to learn about a year ago. My main instrument is guitar. I played clarinet for about six years, so the fingering on a whistle is rather instinctual. I started with a...
