Hello, I'm new here.
Hello Everyone
I started taking mandolin lessons on August 21, 2007 and I am doing well with them. I start taking pennywhistle lessons on April 4th as my secondary instrument.
So far I have a Waltons D nickle, OAK D nickle, and I just sent for a Susato instrument set (one head 3 bodies) D, C, and Bb.

Hi. Welcome to the board. I've only played for about a year, but have found this site to be immensely helpful. If you've been learning mandolin, then you're way ahead of the game since you probably already have a strong feel for Irish trad music. There's lots of great advice here, though. Enjoy!
Cheers!
Cheers!

Welcome! Take good care of your Oak. It's a well-liked whistle by many trad players, and you may have it for a long time. The Susato set is good to have, too.

Sounds like you're off to a good start.
I agree with MTGuru on the Oak, by the way--Oaks are very nice.

Thanks everyonemutepointe wrote:How are the family, friends, neighbors, and pets taking to your whistle?
Keep a whistle in your car, purse, backpack, any place handy where you may have to wait.
I take care of my Mother who had a stroke and can't do anything for her self. We reside in a basement handicap apartment. I don't get very much me time at all. After I put my Mother to bed but before it gets to late I get to practice my mandolin for about a half hour or so. I have been and will try to practice my whistle during the day when I can.

I hope your Mom enjoys the mandolin and the whistle. My mom went deaf before I learned how to play the whistle. When she came to visit and I played it, she said it was the first thing she heard in years.
My mom likes being deaf, she doesn't have to listen to anyone any more. I hope your Mom and you are able to make the best of your situation.
