35,000 year old 'flute' discovered in Germany?
Has anyone else seen this? http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=scienceNews&storyID=7055861 A 35,000 year old 'flute' made from a woolly mammoth's ivory tusk was found in the Swabian mountains in southwestern Germany. I'm not entirely sure what constitutes a 'flute' or a 'whistle' but I...

I agree that it sounds like IE is whacked and needs a new download/install. I've got 5.2.3 here at work. M$ hasn't updated the sucker since...what?...2001? I really doubt the browser cache is at fault - I can't remember the last time I emptied mine. (Although I use a RAM Disk at home for the browser...

Yes, I've tried one of those cheapo GHB practice chanters that Public Broadcasting was selling. I blew my eyeballs out of my head and across the room from the back pressure. Geez that hurt! :boggle: The chanter is now safely buried in a rented storage unit and my eyes are back to normal. I'll have t...

Time to stop, me thinks? What? And tamper with a perfectly good case of WhOA? :) No Overtons? No Copelands? ...well, okay, me neither but I do have 1 thing by Overton!...one of their awesome multi-whistle bags. It's as close as I get to high end. :lol: BTW, I got PM'd by someone about a UP group fo...

Has anyone tried Song of the Sea's mouth blown practice chanter? Take a look at: http://www.songsea.com/uwc.htm Is there any merit to this design? Does it look better than the Pakastani chanter? I'm looking for a cheap way into UP but I don't wanna' spend a truckload of cash. I've been playing a Ker...

Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!! Sufferin' Succotash! :boggle: Well, I appreciate your honesty but that's a wee bit more than I wanna' spend on somethin' I've never played (meaning not your set, just never played a set myself). I'm NOT criticizing. I know you get what you pay for! Wow, I could get a golfbag full ...

One of my job-related duties is to photograph cars for http://www.carsbydealers.net This past week, I had a 'near-religous' experience where I visited an area VW/Audi/Porsche dealer and they had a 2004 40th Anniv. Porsche 911 sitting outside. I've admired the 911 series for a long, long time. In fac...

GREAT Whistle Bag!
GentleWhistlers, Just so you know right away, I'm not making a dime, Euro or peso off this. Thanks to many previous posters, I've found a really, really nice whistle bag and I'd love to share it with you. The bag came from Brigitte and Colin at Overton: extremely nice people to deal with both on the...

Thank you everyone!! :D This is very encouraging!! I do have to admit, however, that I already fell into the trap of writing the names of the notes under the notes on sheet music. I'm _slowly_ trying to break that habit and the idea of flash cards is very encouraging. I tried to take a sight reading...

Learning music for newbies?
Gentle-folk, I've taken a rabid interest in whistles over the past 4 months (going from a single, rarely played Generation D to 2 more soprano Ds {Clarke and Susato} plus a Kerry Low D w/black fipple). I'd like to _someday_ play whistle on the church's Sunday morning worship team but I need to learn...
