Hey Paul, I read your post, checked it out on YouTube and ordered one on Tuesday. It came in today. Amazing sound for something so small. I'm going to have fun with it. Wow!!! Just got back from backpacking at Capital Reef National Park in Utah and visiting Bryce Canyon. My Busman delrin whistle has...

Re: Question about The Irish Flute Store & Chuck Tilbury Whistle

You'll never be treated better by anyone in this world!

At various times I've purchased whistles and a flute from him, traded instruments with him, and he sold a high end whistle for me.

Doc is all class and has a huge heart.

Re: Tommy Dion low D whistle

I know I'm still enjoying my low D whistle! As far as the nunchucks (I always wondered how to spell that word), I picked up a pair for a dollar at a garage sale and I mentioned to Tommy that when I saw him next year I'd try to remember to bring them to see if he could make a whistle out of them. I t...

Tommy Dion low D whistle

I got home from the Old Time Music Festival in Palestine, Texas and want to take the time to tell you about Tommy Dion’s new low D whistle. I met Tommy for the first time last year at this festival. I have a lot of nice whistles but after playing one of his pvc three piece high D whistles I decided ...

Re: Milwaukee Irish Fest

I'll be there but just on Saturday this year. Over the years several of us have got together to visit and try out each other's whistles and flutes but probably most consistenly has been Duffy and myself. I'm up for it if we can find a time a place. I'll have to check the schedule to find an opening....

Tommy Dion Whistles

I just got back from the Old Time Music and Dulcimer Festival in Palestine, Texas and want to tell you about the whistle I picked up there. I had not met Tommy Dion before this weekend although we did correspond once via PM to try to figure out where to meet. We needn't have worried. He heard me pla...

Re: Palestine, Texas festival

Mike,

That actually sounds like a good plan....to have designated festivals to check in with friends. Yep, Irish Fest will be here before we know it. Let's touch base just before then to see about a meeting time/place.

take care

Namaste'

Re: Palestine, Texas festival

Tommy, It's aboutan 11 hour drive for me. I do it several times a year to I just put on a "book on tape" and start driving. I love it when I get into East Texas and roll down my window to let in the smells of the piney woods. Coming home is always nice. Let me know if you'll make it to the...

Re: Palestine, Texas festival

Jason, This will be the first time I've been to this festival. I have heard good things about it but for me it's like a "perfect storm" of reasons to travel down from Iowa. My dad lives about an hour south, in Trinity, and I'm trying to see him as often as possible. He's still dealing with...
