Post by **Dale** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 4:48 pm

I just got this friendly email!

Hello Dale!
My name is Pavel, i live in Belarus.
I am a moderator of the first and unique Russian-speaking site devoted
whistle www.tinwhistle.ru
This site has got to me from the former owner which his
beginnings, but then because of shortage of time has left.
On this site I for the first time have have found out about existence whistle!
Now I want, that others through our site have become interested in
this instrument.
In our countries (Russia and Belarus) about whistles know very little, almost anything!
We want, that our site has helped people to start to play on whistle,
has acquainted with its traditions.
We have started to write lessons for beginning, we are going
to continue them, and at the same time to raise and the level of
our whistling.
Your banner at us stands on the first place in "friends".
You can specify about our site on the site?
I understand, that hardly it will give us the new visitors knowing
Russian lang. But it we shall show, that whistle know and like in
Russia and Belarus
I do not know english, and I use the translator, therefore I ask to
forgive me for ugly phrases.
We would like to cooperate with you for the sake of a common cause!

All the best!
Happy Whistling!

I went and posted a little congratulations message on their forum that I had the computer translate into Russian. I hope it made sense. This is how Chiff and Fipple came out: Чифф и вебсайте Фиппл. I think it says Chiff and website Fipple---Cheef eee veb-kite-yeh Feepl. I hope they will know what I meant. I know the sounds of some letters, but no more so I couldn't fix it.

It is really a very nice website and they certainly have nice lessons for beginners.

I tried to fudge my way on the message board. Totally screwed it up. Name is subject and vice-versa.

This important development obviously requires that the Undisputed convenes a meeting of his High Privy Council to consider appointing ambassadors to those far flung outposts of whistledom that seek alliances. Perhaps they would send us caviar in exchange for help with whistle stuff! Think of the possibilities!

We need a good relationship with our Russian-speaking counterparts. I say: Trust, but verify.

Possibilities indeed!
I say, forget about the caviar
and bring out the Vodka and whistles!

Thanks all answered for attention to our site!

I and my constant visitors are very glad to receive news from you.
For us your site always was the basic material about whistle.
My site - completely new to Russia, such is not present more, and hardly will be.
I assure you, that in our countries people very much love music, and a lot of such who likes traditional celtic folk. For them I also work above a site. I too the beginner, study together with all.
We well know also a site of the Wanderer

Vainly you think, that at us it is a lot of caviar... Russia very big country, Belarus - not big, but very kind and pleasant

Thanks to Cynth for the message at our forum! Also Phil Hardy thanks, he too has reminded at our forum of the site kerrywhistles.com

Many thanks Dale Wisely for his work! His site - the whole treasure for those who wants to study whistle !

We hope for cooperation with all of you!

Happy whistling!
