While searching the site for threads on American Folk Music I came across this thread:

How about a new run of pictures since there are a TON of new people around. I have a new whistle on the way and I will post my picture once it arrives in a couple of weeks.

We should have a contest: who has stuff that Jessie doesn't? I have a Water Weasel with the plumbing code in it!

JessieK · Post by **JessieK** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:19 am

I have that, too, Glauber.

As I mentioned, I have sold and acquired a bunch of instruments since these pictures were taken.

Nice - heck ..... GREAT PICTURES Jessie!

Let's see baby born this year, some whistle makers are getting older and looking towards retirement, therefore the appreciation of whistles/flutes over 18 years .....hmmmm..equals college tuition! and a music degree!

Hummm ...a serious collector and player are we

But I know that!

Thanks for sharing

OK, i have a Miyazawa flute with serial number 100 and a Mark Hoza heajoint in Ironwood!

The Powell wooden flute used to be what i dreamed about, but i took a left turn and went to Baroque flutes instead. These pictures inspired me; i need to take some pictures of my sticks, but i have maybe 10% of what you have in quantity and 1% in value.

Here are my main flutes:

C. A. Grenser 1-key by Rod Cameron in blackwood, Cotter 6-key in blackwood, Hammy keyless piccolo in blackwood, M&E keyless PVC, Miyazawa in one of their proprietary metal alloys (pity you can't see the wooden head).

Glauber, is that you? Cool! A face to match the name.

Yeah, and that's my home, but the pink china sugar container in the table is not mine!

Here's a better picture:

Hee-hee... Runner-up here, with:

- Yvon Le Coant Low D
- Strathmann Alto Flute (F)
- Silvertone whistle by *bleep*y Gruber

Hmm... time for reflection: did I subconsciously pick every high end whistle Jessie didn't own?

PS: Pink sunglasses IS a cutie.
PPS: What's a dog with a beard? A schnauzer? You never know with Internet...

Yeah, Glaub, where the heck is the dog?????? Or is that all just self-deprecatin' married guy talk? Been there, done that.

MOECK Recorders?

"Which one of these is not like the others......."

Me thinks you are due for an up-grade Jessie, hee.

Please, don't moeck Jessie, even if she stashes closet recorders!

(else she gets a Mock whistle--Adler?--of course...) D

PS: how does the Hind ocarina play?

JessieK · Post by **JessieK** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 4:48 pm

I don't like the Hind ocarina...it smells like varnish and has an uninspired sound. Zub, I am very envious of that Strathmann recorder!

You're right, Loren...Moecks suck. I have a boxwood soprano Fehr recorder that I got sometime in the last year or two, and it's better than those blasted Moecks. I didn't know what I was doing when I first went recorder shopping several year ago.

Do you mean the .sig? That's the tagline from a famous cartoon from the New Yorker. It goes with my avatar. I guess it means that on the Internet you never know really what you're dealing with. Me, for example, for all you know, i could be a 14 year old girl in Beirut, and all this talk about flutes and whistles could be an ellaborate farse. Or i could be the Bubble Boy. Or Davvy Spillane.
