Re: Cleaning Whistles
Thanks! I appreciate the info! Probably should add a spray bottle with a mix of cleaner in it for playing and cleaning on the go!

Re: Cleaning Whistles
Does anyone have good suggestions for removing the body oils that collect on the fingerings holes to keep them from tarnishing? I have copper bodied cobre optima and a silver plated lir c that I got used on the exchange that are definitely getting a patina around the fingering holes

Re: John Sindt waitlist wait is over!
When I was looking to upgrade to a midrange whistle, I recall this forum basically saying that a lot of the good ones were mimicking elements Sindt had built into his whistles. Figured i may as well just go the source! Finding out his whistle waitlist wasn't years deep was good (tho I'm not a strang...

John Sindt waitlist wait is over!
After seeing someone on chiff and fipple say that they hadn't had to wait too long on the waitlist for a John Sindt whistle, I figured ID contact John and add myself to his waitlist. That was Oct 30th, and yesterday I got an email saying my number had come up and he had a high D whistle ready to pos...

Re: Busker or Loud whistle recommendations?
You still might not make many friends playing it, opinions are quite varied,... Thankfully as a morris dancer I don't think you can say you are doing it right without a noise complaint or two lol. Do you have any opinion on the session vs the large bore Burke? i saw it listed them as basically the ...

Re: Do you ever play in public spaces?
I often play my whistle on breaks. Because of where I work I often am playing where a whole lunch group of elementary kids could see (and hear) me. Just last week I received a letter delivered by the 3rd grade teacher from a student, telling me they liked my playing, lol.

Re: Busker or Loud whistle recommendations?
Wow so many great replies! If anyone was thinking of parting with their susato, don't be surprised if you see a wtb post up next! Since part of a morris dancers job is to be a noisy enough to convince winter to leave, going for overkill definitely counts as a plus in the susatos favor Robertunes, I ...

Busker or Loud whistle recommendations?
I have been thinking about getting a Kerry Busker whistle to join the musicians that play for our morris dance practice. I do not have much experience with the variety of whistles out there (the nicest sounding whistle I own is probably my clarke sweettone), and thought I would humbly ask what sort ...
