Does your whistle have.........
.........a name?
Guitar players have a tendency to name their guitars, Billy Gibbons has "Pearly Gates", Stevie Ray Vaughn had "Number 1", and "Lenny", Eric Clapton and "Blackie" or the one almost everyone knows, B.B. King and "Lucille".........
So how many people out there named their whistles? I finally did......
1) Clarke Original named "Grace" because it was my first whistle and the first song I learned was Amazing Grace.
2) Clare Eagle named Faith....Gift that reminds me to have faith in others.
3) Clarke WoodStock in C named Connie because of a simular post on another board....long story.
So lets here what you named your whistle(s) and why....

Same as that.Unseen122 wrote:NO
Except when one of my instruments inexplicably plays a wrong note during a tune (something I never do - it's always the instrument). When that happens they all assume the same name... which I won't specify here.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

I tend to name them after their maker and add a 'My' before it, so I have myBurke and myAbell, etc. If I'm in a formal mood, 'The Low D,' etc.
I have nice Book of Kells stickers I got at a fair for a dollar and I put a sticker on the low d's just below the windway. I have an angel one from the booklet on the handle bars of my mountain bike. I caught a glance of it as I was going head over heals and thought it was the end of me on this world.

So does my brother.
Come to think of it I refer to a whistle in different ways not always by makeryes I will refer to my Syns that way but say my Low D I just call it the Low Whistle not the Merlin (little know brand of low whistles) and my Low F Cheiftan I call the F whistle and my Tipple Flute in D I call the Tippl but the one in Low C I call the Low C Flute.
