Our friends the whistles

This question penetrates deep into the psyche of the whistler and might be personal for some.
Have any of you ever named your whistles? I have a Shaw A named Molly. The others are nameless. (I've also been known to name my shoes and hats despite ridicule from my wife.)

Learn to half-hole the C-natural. It's easy enough that little kids in Ireland learn it routinely. Half holing is the only way that I've found to really get a great C natural. My understanding is that some whistles are actually designed to half holed (Sindt). It's tricky at first, but with practice...

I'm rather in love with my Shaw A. I realize that this puts me on the fringes of society, but I can accept that.

Adrian, I PMed you, but for some reason I think it didn't go through. I have a C that I'm willing to sell. I mentioned a price in the PM but I'm open to negotiation.

ok, so I forgot to tell you when it is... it's Monday, 20th of March at 7:30. Ah yes, Ooltewah. Where I go when I need Taco Bell. I see you're familiar with some SDA taboos. Thanks for the session invitation. All try to show up if I finish my homework.

Boys of the Lough live in Tennessee

I just found out that Boys of the Lough is coming to my college (Collegedale, Tennessee; 15 minutes from Chattanooga). Adult tickets are 10 dollars which seems pretty good to me. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll be happy to give you directions to the college.

Wooden fipple care

Well, it has been many moons since I've posted on this sight. My whistling, which was rather dorment, has been revitalized by a recent purchase of a pair of Shaws (an E and an A). In spite of all the negative comments out there about these whistles, I really like them. Their tone is rich yet chiffy,...
