I found it folded different depending on which I pushed in first...middle or bottom. No, C nat sounds funky on m...

I recieved mine today yay! I ordered in september. I love it...love the tone, love the look. It was definitely worth the wait. Now I have a question...how far does it telescope down to? I've been playing but I don't want to damage it by trying too far...I see there are grooves to make sure it's exte...

I guess I'm not saying I want a "quiet" whistle, per se. Clear, but not breathy....and does not require huge amounts of air to hit those high notes cleanly... I guess I tend to lean towards the nickel family for it's brightness...but I think sometimes that can also mean SHRILL. Just want a...

Oh oh, she's on the lookout for a new one AGAIN! Ok, here's the thing....I generally play by myself, and have for years. I have just recently started to play at our regular drum circle, accompanied by an occasional guitar, drums etc... Or, we are sitting quietly around the fire in those silent momen...

Yes, i emailed him either yesterday or the day before and he just got back to me.

Hi everyone,

I got my check sent out to Noah before the Sep 1 deadline for sale price...
I'm assuming he's busy with school and stuff and I don't want to bother him. So can any of you tell me how long it takes to get one?? I guess I'm just too excited to handle it! :smile:

Fimo is a polymer clay, which you mold then bake in the oven.
My hubby was a designer for a major line of polymer clay cane, so I have LOADS sitting around my house.

I've even been toying with the idea of making a whole whistle out of fimo...still don't know how, but it's a goal! :smile:

Hi everyone, I have absolutely no plans for the weekend, so I thought I'd play around with the idea of making a whistle. I have the different copper whistle instruc. printed off...I'm wondering if these instructions will work just the same for Pvc?? I'm not a tarnish lover, and especially not a penn...

Maybe I don't have to be scared, but I am! I have never tweaked a whistle in my life, but I now feel the need for it. I finally broke down and got an Oak D. It would be EXACTLY what I've been looking for, I love the look, the weight, the tone EVERYTHING....if it weren't for the buzz on middle D and ...

Hey now, I thought advertising wasn't allowed without permission?? Ok, everyone knows that *I* didn't do it! :smile: I figured if anyone REALLY wanted to find it, they could.

I don't have a closeup (someone has my digicam, so I used a polaroid!), but I do have a closeup of the inner construction. I think I can actually get a pretty good image of it off another pic I have...(I'll tweak it after supper :smile: The blue one is actually the one I have on ebay.... Sure, I'll ...

I *like* to think that I'm good :smile: I pick up things easily by ear and can join in alot of tunes (or songs) that don't have whistle included (i.e. no whistle to copy). I really don't have anyone to compare myself to, because I don't know anyone else who plays, so I do it mostly by myself. So, al...

Yes, obviously...but does that make me LESS of a whistler, or PERSON for that matter?? Just because we differ in opinion doesn't make me not of your "world"....what an arrogant statement. I would never judge someone on their difference of opinion, especially when music is involved...it's l...
