Byll, you are one heck of a guy! :) I'm glad to be your cyber friend.

And Stine, that's a very good whistle with which to start.

Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

Byll, you've just inspired me to try my Whitecap on my Feadog body.
I have it on a nickle Generation now, and would like to try the brass sound, but was too lazy to sand the tube enough to fit.

Stine, a note about the Whitecap: I've found mine is more succeptible to clogging than my other plastic-headed whistles until it gets warmed up, so use the soap tweak if you start to clog (instead of getting discouraged and tossing the thing aside, as my brother is wont to do). It really is a wonderful sounding mouthpiece!

It's copyrighted. I got a copy at the local music store..good luck finding a legal free copy online ;)

It has 4 sharps, E major, so playing on an E whistle seems to be in order.

well thanks for the help, I am willing to pay for the sheet music. Do you know anywhere I could go online to get it and what would be even better is if I could download it instantly... I dont think my local music store carries sheet music for the tin whistle...
