Had my Abell stolen this week
My beautiful Abell whistle has been stolen and I'm heart-broken. This was a gift to me almost 10 years ago and there's no way I can afford to replace it. Super bummed. That is all

Shoot! I'm sorry to hear that. Where did it get stolen from? Nothing on Craigslist so far...

Very sorry to hear that. Stings a bit I'm sure...

I should add that I also live in Minneapolis- I'll keep an eye out for anyone who seems to have a new one at the sessions. I'd like to know where this happened- I play in a lot of the pubs here and often leave my bag unattended.

Re: Had my Abell stolen this week
I should think losing a quality whistle you've had a relationship with for ten years would be akin to losing a hand. You have my deepest sympathy.
Please also post on the C&F Lost/Stolen Forum.
You should also get word out on every form of social media you can think of: Facebook, Twitter, Pintarest (if you have any pictures), The Session, Trad Connect, etc.

That's awful. Yes, get your message out everywhere because people know people. You never know.

- 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...

Re: Had my Abell stolen this week
So sorry, Seth. Our band loves to play Celtic festivals, and we played a truly wonderful one, last Saturday. I always worry about what you have experienced. When we finish our set or sets, we always like to wander around the festivals, looking, listening, discovering... Cars are parked far away from the actual festival grounds, usually. One can put instruments in the cars, if one is OK with a long walk carrying heavy instruments - and then leaving said instruments - including wooden ones - in a hot car for a few hours. Right.
We have found that the only way to be 90% safe, is to have all band instruments in a close, shaded area - with one of us shepherding the flock, to make sure none stray. We have a lady we refer to as our 'den mother' who likes to knit and crochet, and she often would rather be there in the shade - watching people, and listening to the music - than walking the usually rather large and crowded festival grounds.
I hope that your Abell returns home.
Best.
