I have the cure Patrick but it's painful. Buy yourself a set or two of pipes. Then you'll be so broke you won't even think about whistle acquisiton anymore.
Trust me, I know whereof I speak.
Some believe the flute can be a cure but I have seen many a sad case of FlOA and it's ugly. No, no...it must be the pipes.

At this point, why seek a cure? Keep buying and trying, break on through to the 'other side'.patrickh wrote:
The disease is spreading throughout my system wildly. As a former sufferer who is now cured of MAS (Mandolin Aquisition Syndrome), I thought I would be resisent to this strain of infection but I was wrong. I am in serious trouble. Since the summer, my collection has grown to :
(5) Burkes - NB D - Brass, NB D - Allum, NB C, Session C and D.
(2) Busman (C and D) - a third (Eb) is coming
(1) Seery D
(1) Lon Dubh D
(2) Thin Weasels (C and High G)
(2) Black Diamonds (D and C)
(1) Greenwood (D)
(6) Assorted tweaks (Freeman, O'Briain)
(1) Silkstone D
On the way - Abell C/D set, Rose, Busman Eb, more tweaks (Irvine, Freeman, O'Briain), Humphrey D/C set, Water Weasel.
Well, there's the answer, then. Now that I've achieved nigh perfection as a player, I just don't need all those whistles anymore.DCrom wrote:I suspect that for many of us rampant WhOA is an attempt to improve our playing - "surely if I find THE ONE whistle, the problems I have with all my other whistles will disappear". Of course, the real area that needs improving is our playing, but this looks like a quick fix.
Yeah, especially when WORLD FAMOUS flute makers keep sending you their best stuff!!!!!!!Doc Jones wrote:Some believe the flute can be a cure but I have seen many a sad case of FlOA and it's ugly. No, no...it must be the pipes.
