Chiff and Fipple Forums

(Hi Kelly) Hmm, on second listening, the whole second octave seems sharp to me. See what a wire rush in the staple will do for you - worth a try and totally reversible. Also, double-check the pitch and see if things are running sharp; pulling the reed out somewhat may change things too. Okay, the w...

Well Mark, it isn't that one! I saw that one on Sunday and it was actually doing better than this one is now. This reed has been better in the past... it's fairly old... And I'm not trying to learn on it, I'm trying to fix it! Thanks for the constructive note.

Hi all. It's been a while since I was around here, but I'm back at least for now. I have a favor to ask. Could you experienced reedmakers take a listen to this http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/197378/Bad%20back%20D.mov and tell me what I need to do to fix back D? That would be great, thanks. It's not my r...

I just got me a mandolin from the Acoustic Corner people down at Swannanoa. It's a Big Muddy Mini-Mo... I'm enjoying it.

I got my macbook pro last year, and I love it. My 70 year old grandmother liked mine, and since her ancient PC was dying, she got herself a macbook, and she's very happy with it.

I might be able to get a look at this set later this month... if so, I'll see what I can see.

I'll second that.

This is me and my birdies, Squeaky and Junior. Right now they're living at home with my parents while I'm off at college. They're not entirely pleased about it, but they're handling it pretty well overall.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but hey. I've gone and made me a deviantart account, so check it out if you wish! I don't have much uploaded yet, but more will be coming.

I'll be at both of these Lunasa gigs... heh heh

Once a month in Round Hill, VA (less than 20 miles from Charles Town, WV): http://www.roundhillartscenter.org/Events.html There's a lot of bluegrass and other non-Irish in various rooms around the Arts Center, but there's an Irish session (usually a good one) in one upstairs room. I'm usually there.

Only one of our six cats likes the whistle, but she really, really likes it.

I met Michael once, many years ago when he was living in Georgia. Very nice man, and very patient with my idiot beginner ignorance/arrogance. If I'd been him I would have smacked me. (He plays a lovely whistle, too!) I met him once too, at Dulles Airport a few years ago... we were on the same fligh...
