Need suggestions on creative ways to recycle my Meg...
In another thread I posted my two ideas of ways to recycle my Meg whistle to keep it from being a total waste of money. The best two I could come up with were a paint stirring stick or modifying it into a spoon for a camping mess kit. I would like to hear some other suggestions on things to make my Meg into to save me from having to throw it away.
Any ideas?

You could take off the mouthpiece, and then bury the body, with the top sticking out, in a large flower pot. Then, when you water the plant, the water will disperse through the holes. Or something.
My mom used to use something similar for her potted plants.

That would take some doing. I live in a small town in western Kentucky where everybody is too enthralled with NASCAR and WWE to care about tinwhistling. I mean seriously, I bet there is not another person in my whole town who even knows that there is such as thing as a tinwhistle.Have you heard any one else play the thing?
I would like to hear somebody else play it though!

What town do you live in? (I used to live in Danville). Are Lexington, Louisville, or Midway close enough? Here's a list of Kentucky sessions listed in this forum:S.B.O'Gill wrote:That would take some doing.

Louisville is a 3+ hour drive for me and Lexington would be more like 4+. I never heard of Midway, but I just went out on Yahoo Maps and saw where it is located. My guess is that it would be about a 4 hour drive.What town do you live in? (I used to live in Danville). Are Lexington, Louisville, or Midway close enough?

I wonder if there is anything in Owensboro, KY or Evansville, IN? Both would be approx. 1 hour drive for me. That's doable. Nashville, TN is about 2+ hours. I bet they would have one there--but with gas being what it is now and what it's going to be after Rita hits, I think that would pose somewhat of a hardship on me.

I know that lonely feeling... keep looking and asking. I bet there's a closet whistle player out there near you, or at least someone else eager to learn along with you.
Meanwhile put your Meg somewhere prominent, like in your kitchen utensil jar, where you'll be reminded of it and guests will see it. It'll make you appear artsy and whimsical at worst; at best it will spark a memory or a desire: "Gee, the lady next door to me plays one of those." or "My grandpa taught me some tunes once, wonder if I can still play them?"
Hope you find your whistle mentor soon! (I'm still hoping for one closer than 300 miles away.) Be hopeful.

Practice your tweaking skills with that link I told you about on the other thread. Dude, you have so many threads going I don't know which end is up here . I don't mean that as a criticism! And on one of them you said all the notes sounded sweet and that with that new fingering the Cnat sounded better. You were really happy on that one.
KDMartinky lives in Kentucky somewhere. He is a whistle player and frequent poster. He is starting on Uilleann pipes, so he's posting over there more now. But he seems to live far away from everything so maybe you guys live close to each other. If you do a search for his name you could send him a private message.
