I am cured of WHOA

Craig-y-Nos · Post by **Craig-y-Nos** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 9:10 am

Like most WHOA sufferers I have, for several years, bought/exchanged/sold cheapies, tweaked cheapies and high-end whistles in the search for my perfect High D.
Several times I have thought that I have found it only for the love to fade after a few months as a new favourite has come into my life !
Now I have truly found the whistle for me and it is made by a person more widely known for his low whistles.
And my perfect whistle is ...? - a Ronaldo Reyburn narrow bore.
Jessie Kislin said of the regular bore High D '.....It is fascinating to me that such a simple construction can create such a pleasing and reliable tone......The NEW Reyburn high D whistle (High D-LB) is unpretentious, attractive and successful, and I recommend it highly.'
I have not played the model of whistle to which Jessie refers but for me those words apply equally to the narrow bore.
A really nice whistle made by a gent who is a great guy to do business with.

In remission, maybe. Cured? Probably not. Just take it one day at a time. You are one $5 cheapie from that long slide back to the bottom.

Yep, that can happen. The Reyburn population in my house tripled in the last month.

I was totally cured a couple months ago when i got my Rose blackwood.

Last month i found an old Gen Eb for £4 and i just totally crumbled.

But i feel i'm cured again, but who(a) knows what temptations next month will bring?

I don't think WhOA can be totally cured. I'm set with my Ds, C, and A....but I'm still looking for the perfect G, low D, and misc. keys. My perfect C happens to be a Reyburn as well

I have been cured of WhOA, many times in fact!

Why is it that no matter how many you buy that there are always about 6 more whistles that you NEED?

A cure for WHOA! That's great news for my wife. She has asked on several occasions about a treatment for WHOA. Maybe a therapy/medication regimen or one of those patches or something.
She also said something else, but I couldn't make it out over the sound of myself whistling. Hope it wasn't important.

many times ------you got that right

---the only even close cure is a nagging wife----even then i buy the whistles and take the ass chewing---it only last a few days

C'mon guys - what sort of encouragement is this to a WHOA sufferer trying to kick the habit !!

You have now gone and put doubts into my mind.
