A banner on our beloved site led me to the Feadog site.

I loved the history page: here are two of the listed endorsements:

"" I have been informed that the genuine Feadóg Irish Brass Whistle is the world's best whistle" - C. Ellis, England.

" Feadóg make a very famous whistle" - Mona, Canada."

No kiddin.

Mebbe it makes more sense in Gaelic or Esperanto.

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Send them an email and tell them you want a Pro. Paul is the guy I've dealt with. The invoice will say it is a standard Feadog but you'll get a Pro.
The Walrus

What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?

The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Yep, the "Pro" is just like the standard Nickel but has a better finished body - nice looking whistle.
All the best!

What's the problem? It makes perfect sense.

Somebody wants me to endorse it. But I don't want to lie, so:

"I've been told... ...it's the best in the world!"

It might not be true, but that's what they were told. How can you quarrel with that?

"Féadog make a very famous whistle." The name is well-known. Is she mistaken?

Don't you guys do logic?

- Feadóg κάνει έναν πολύ διάσημο συριγμό.

Yep. It's all Greek to me.
