Yes, I used to use Almond oil too - However a year or so ago I switched to the much harder to find, but more effective Snipe Oil. When that runs low I will substitute Jackalope oil in a pinch, which seems to work just as well.

Actually one famous maker recently told me his secret recipe for whistle and flute oil consisted of 3 parts Snipe Oil to 1 part Jackalope Oil. Think I'll give that a whirl next.

Loren,
Do you break vitimin E capsules into your oil mixture to prevent oxidation and rancid smells?

I use vitimin E to keep my cholesterol from becoming oxidized and lining the inside of my arteries. Asprin works well too, but does nothing for oxidation.

Does anybody use Asprin for headaches?

Asprin was invented in Germany.

Headaches were invented after the first Marriage.

A German once got married and wished to fix the head ache problem.

Old German concert flutes are not real good for use in Irish music because they have small tone holes.

Are there any whistle players living in Germany with a headache that they got from playing a flute while taking almond oil instead of Vitimin E?

"If I ask a question about whistles on this thread, will it be considered off topic?
Blaine"

Maybe not, but I'm sure the answer will be. What would you like to know? Hmm???
My dad, born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, used to be fond of quoting Oscar Wilde's comment that Dublin is the largest open air asylum in the world. (I'm thinking this is the largest virtual asylum, in terms of geography, anyway.) Of course, I consider myself one of the caretakers, and not a resident.

Tony,

The voices tell me vitamin E is Evil - You see E for Evil?

I think Evel Kinevel was Evil, probably from taking too much vitamin E for all those broken bones.

So which came first do you suppose: Evel or his Evil?

I also have a friend named Bob. His last name isn't Kinevel, he doesn't take much vitamin E, and he's not particularly Evil.

So no.

I have a whistle.
Do you have a whistle?
Do you like whistles?
I like whistles.
I played the whistle.
Did you play the whistle?
Joe makes a whistle, ....

(Oooops, wrong thread. Hey, I'm not running into copyright/intellectual property problems here am I? I kind of doubt the intellectual part, but I'm not sure about the copyright issue.)

Actually Tony I did have a question, but it is the middle of the day, and I'm not really here.

hmmm... The Tony that designed the halucinogenic styled lady of the lake bringing forth the excaliber whistle that adorns the Asylums tee-shirts. Thinks he's no longer a resident but rather a caretaker.... hmmm.... strange ....

Ahh.. Tony, just a reminder, the almonde oil with the vitamine-E goes inside the whistle, not the whistler...

Let see ... Loren's making Monty Python Fly Circus references and Tony's make Wild open air asylum reference, well I guess it the the same difference as long as you ...

"Ahh.. Tony, just a reminder, the almonde oil with the vitamine-E goes inside the whistle, not the whistler... "

Tony looks up in surprise with a shiny chin. Says, "If it's good for my whistle, it's good for me." Anyway, what's with all these extra "e's" in almond_ and vitamin_? Notice how I don't put in an unnecessarye "e" ande it workes juste fine?

Here's a tip for American women who may travel to Ireland and are not totally familiar with Irish English. If you are staying with locals, and your host politely asks "What time shall I knock you up in the morning?" please don't slug him. He just wants to know what time you want to be WOKEN UP. I know that now.

"Almond oil? Snipe? Jackalope oil?"

It is not the resemblances, but the differences, which resemble each other....

Brilliant Thom!

I always wondered how St. Paddy did that!
