Newbie intro.
Hello all! My name is Sarah. Byll (on the board) is my dear old dad and we are very much alike. I am finally old enough to join this site, so I'm very excited. I got my start with whistles when I was 6 or 7, and have played sporadically every since. My first real whistle was a prototype whitecap from Mr. Hoover (which I still play today). It has an X on the mouthpiece instead of a serial number. After that, I acquired PVC versions of a Hoover D and C and an experimental thin-walled redwood D with a black mouthpiece. I am planning to start playing low whistles on a Hoover apple wood low G.
Over the years, I started cello, piano, and voice lessons. I also continued with my dancing, which I love. I inherited the musical gene from my father, and the dance gene from my mother, so everything music is a big part of my life. I am incredible busy, trying to juggle dancing, music, and school. It's hard, but life is good. Dad says that it keeps me off the streets. I am hoping that I can get good advice and ideas on this board, so I'm very excited to join it. I hope you will accept me as one of your own as time goes on. Thanks to everyone!

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

Thanks for the welcome. I have some trouble with coordination, so teaching me to drive is going to be an interesting experience.
It's funny you should mention posting clips... Dad owns a professional recording studio but has never recorded a solo of me. I'll have to propose that idea to him. Maybe in the future something will get posted. Thanks!

Emm: I can joke about it, but the driving thing does scare me. I honor you that you have been through it three times... In my career as a high school teacher, I experienced a lot of tragedies, concerning automobiles.
Mutepointe: Sarah mentioned one thing in her answer to you, that is too true. I have just realized that in the studio, she has multi-tracked as many as three background voices, and three concurrent cello tracks on actual client projects... but... I truly have never recorded any solo material of her. And, nothing on whistle at all.
I will have to rectify that situation.
Thank you all for welcoming Sarah in your inimitable fashion. The best to you on a stormy (remnants of Hannah) Saturday afternoon.

You've introduced yourself very nicely, Sarah, and welcome!
As fellow musicians, the members here tend to be honest with each other, sometimes brutally honest, but, ultimately, that's a good thing.
With that in mind, however, please consider whatever you might have to say, before you actually say it.
There's a C&F forum just for whistle players, which may be of some interest to you.
