“The want of character which distinguishes the timbre of the whistle-flute is due to the paucity of harmonic overtones in the clang.” —Encyclopædia Britannica (1911)

It was written in 3 part harmony. I played one part (the melody), and fed the other two parts into a computer program, which played them.
Haha, who needs friends when you can play with your computer? :geek:
Walden, don’t you ever sleep ?
Walden, that was lovely! 
Well done, my friend.
By the way, don’t give up on me–I was practicing the piece you sent me today.
Take care,

Ah,Walden, the signature evolves again. I like it.
The Tuatha De Danaan planted their essence
On the rich green land,
And the rich green land
Implanted its essence on the Tuatha De Danaan.

Hey Walden, very nice indeed. I had a friend of mine that setup ‘drones’ on his computer that he played to. It was a nice effect and all, and filled in the silence, but the recording YOU did is way cool.
That’s pretty nifty how you fit it all together and matched up the volumes and everything.
Good show man!
Take care,
John

No hurry. I guess I’m in kind of a Southern Harmony mood lately.

Reckon how many people will realize the picture is of a mouthpiece?
I knew it is a mouthpiece. What does the rest of it look like? It’s not a r******r is it? I like your clip. Sounds very Middle Ages/Rennaisance.

I knew it was a mouthpiece as soon as I looked at it. What I’m wondering is, A. what kind of a mouthpiece is it?, B. where’d you get the cool pic?, and C. who made it, how old is it, ect.?
Yeah, mouthpiece no question.
So where did you get it, Waldo, how much, and do they do other designs? How about one with a cat or dog face, seeing the reaction most have to whistle playing?
There is a French web site with photographs of large numbers of historic wind instruments. It is at:
Burnsbyrne was right, Walden has been tempted by the dark side! It is a r€cor$€r.
Still, nice pic!

You say rec***er, I say 7-hole chromatic Baroque whistle, with thumb vent. 
And with that, Walden reaches 1500 posts!
Roll on the next 1500!
(modest ripple of applause as befits an Englishman)
Walden, very nice! For quite a while I’ve been toying with the idea of arranging the early renaisance hymn “Gadete” for three whistles . You’ve inspired me to quit noodling and start writing.
By the way,a great version of “Gadete” can be found on several Steeleye Span recordings.
Thanks
Here’s another clip, also based on an arrangement from Southern Harmony.
