Can we be entirely sure of this Zub? After all, the verification has only come from people who have nothing to say. :roll:

Hi Wombat, have you ever said this:

"right bunch of bloody Bushrangers"

and/or do you know what a "bushranger" is and why it might be used as a derogatory term?

Well, Mr. Syn, it looks like an awful lot of people around here want to wait for someone else to get one of your whistles and post a review before they buy one. I must admit I'm among them. So I'll volunteer -- please send me a free sample of the new whistle, and I promise to post a review. After that, it sounds like you'll be selling to just about everybody else on the board!

(Hey, it's worth a try, right?)

Well my Syn is on its way. God I must be loosing my mind. I will buy just about anybodies whistle. I spent all day today playing as many of my whistles as my lungs would allow and I still love them all. What can I say.

What can I say except "Me too?"

I wonder how long it takes to get a whistle from Australia...

Usually between 4 and 10 working days—more if customs think you're importing biological weapons.

Australians work about two days a week so that should help you do the calculations.

Just got my Syn whistle by special delivery this evening!!! Guess I caught the Aussies on a good work week. Unfortunately it's a bit late tonight to be playing so I'll have to give it a go tomorrow and let everybody know.

At least now I know who the mysterious Mr. Syn is...or should I say Mrs. Syn???

It wasn't all that mysterious...he used his name on the email he sent me.

There will be reviews, photos, and MP3s on my site when the wee beastie arrives...

If Mr. Syn is the person Burnsbyrne and Zubivka gave clues to in pages 3 and 4 of this thread, I know now who it is, thanks, guys! The mystery was driving me crazy!

So it's not our old friend Erle?

Can't anybody around here keep a secret.

Just ordered one myself. Now if it only plays half as nice as it looks...

Oh great. Does this mean I'm the only one not in the know? Grrr. How frustrating. I think I'll go play my fiddle.
