Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Why the Burke composite as opposed to that little Lon Dubh, or Lon Chaney, or whatever it was called?

The lower key is more soothing to me and to the baby. The Burke composite F is rich, but not loud, and it doesn't screech at all, up to the third octave. Low but easy breath pressure. Right for the moment.

Can you play the "Diaper Rag" on it? It's a very smooth, flowing song, in two movements, which will have your audience completely absorbed.

Tell us something.: I became interested in the beauty and versatility of Irish whistles and music over 20 years ago when I first found the Chiff boards. Yes, I do have WHOA, and I love my whistles. :)

Well then, you two should get together. An F and Eb duet on Burke composites, now that would be beautiful. Just meet each other half way, and you'd be in tune!
