Hi Chuck
Still have that C/D set of yours in early brass.

Collector's Item

They are both used (recently aquired) Chieftains about 5-6 years old so I would think any oil residue whould be long gone although I have never attempted to clean them. I'll clean them as described and see if that works, or coat them if necessary. If it was only one I'd say it was the whistle, but ...

Paul - if your on - my third daughter is to be proposed to (for marriage LOL) on Navy Pier in Chicago this very Friday afternoon. I will take one of the three. Please tell me my premier whistle maker and sage Dr. - what whistle is appropriate for such a joyous occassion? _________________ I remembe...

Hi All, A question regarding wood whistles. I am interested in a wood whistle and looking at what is around there are a lot of options. I guess the questions are what are the reccomended wooden whistles? The Busman, O'Brien, etc ..Is there one (readily available i.e not an O'Riordan) that is consid...

What a wonderful new home Paul! The wood thorughout the home should please you - what with your love of woods.

Back in the day, I woulda said that my favorite was the one that I hadjust brewed, but then this pesky whistle making took up all of my spare time... :P Darn - and we were all wanting to try the newest East Coast phenom beer - Busman Beers. A suggested slogan - " Busman Beer - It's sure to wet...

What a nice story. I find myself intimidated as well. I have been playing over perhaps 3 or so years I guess. I don't get to play as much as I'd like to either. A couple of years ago I visited my brother in Indiana. He had just bought a new and fabulous home that had quite a large and wooded yard. I...

Congradulations on one of the finest whistles in the business. I have three that I really treasure as music instruments, keepsakes and a personal link to a wonderful wood worker. As fine as the Busman whistle is - I hope you continue your whistle "journey"; as you will find Paul Busman him...

Here is another view of how good I think Flook is. Last spring they appeared at Kansas State University. My wife really did not want to go, she tolerates my whistle playing and my ITM CD's. She liked them a lot. Even let me try to learn Bodhran afterwords. I would have to say the "house" t...

Ain't they wonderful? !! Take care of it, the wood just gets better and better with use (in beauty I mean).

I read your post/review of your Busman at the office today. I wanted to reply right away, but waited to re-check my own whistles. I have Kingwood in D Previously owned by Byll so I'm of the impression it is well over three years old. I also have purchased two new Busman whistles from Paul this past ...

I now have Busman envy. I simply love the three Busmans I have and eagerly wait for yet another masterpiece of the Busman art in Eb - maple of course. Maybe I'll have the first Busman in Eb in maple. Maybe that will make me feel better...... Ccongradulations on your number 1. That is significant. Ne...

Thanks - I appreciate it
