I have done loads of business with Doc, and this is not like him. Just give hima couple days I am sure he will come through.

Got ahold of Doc through PM just a while ago. Great guy! I should see my whistle in a couple of days. The issue I believe boiled down to low stock.

In looking for a place online to get a tweaked Gen. C, most places were out of stock. If I remember correctly, the tweak on the C is a little more time consuming. My assumption is that this may be one of the reasons there don't seem to be as many tweaked C's in stock.

I tried tweaking a C Feadog once and gave up!

It costs a tad more, but Erle Bartlett's Black Diamond C is sublime. Gaelic Crossings has 'em. Doc may also.

Sorry for the slow response. I just found out about this thread last night as I'm usually hanging out on the flute or pipes forums.

For some reason, I sometimes can't email people back and have no way of knowing they didn't get the message.

Sadly, I may actually be spam. Who'd have guessed?

Anyhoo, I always get my PMs and my phone number is on the website. So, feel free to call any time with questions or whatnot.

Thanks too to all for the kind words. The best part of this "business" has been the friendships developed.

Best to all,

Doc

But don't ask ME how he found out: Isn't EVERYONE awake at 10:30 pm even though they have to get up at 5am????

Yeah, I'm accustomed to getting woken up for a different sort of emergency.

I found I had to use my home e-mail when corresponding with Doc 'cause my work one scrubbed his incomings.

I got my Freeman tweaked Gen. C today. Very nice whistle. Very good contrast to the Burke C that I normally use. This will probably be the whistle I use when we do "Freedom" on the Fourth of July. Doc and Jerry came through wonderfully on this one.

Doc: I hope this post has not affected your business in a negative way. I think it shows how great it is to do business with you, and you make sure the customer gets what they need. Thanks for following up! While I don't play flute, I hope to do business again sometime!
