Trade is completed .. thank you for your interest.

Our postpeople just bring the stuff to Shannon airport and have it flown over, I sent of a batch of CDs just before christmas, delivery took 2 to 6 days to different areas in the States. Even over the christmas it was no hassle at all. Sending whistles in USMail priority flat rate mailing tubes is ...

[quote="Jim Wright Ok .. following you .. but "where" does the low C belong... measurement please .. from the bottom? Jim Not to give you a short answer, but I put the hole where the lowest hole on one of my C whistles goes. With my design, that ends up being 1.75" up from the f...

Sigh ... tis true that they play like me .... now .. if only I were playing like "them"

Jim

Let me try this again .. what is your favorite Low Eb and why?

Thanks,

Jim
