Goldie!

Take a Goldie!

Go for Goldie!

PS: If you think a Goldie whistle is too expencive, maybe you don't deserve one anyway.

Take a Goldie Overton! They are NOT too expencive. Just look at the quality and the craftmanship. AND the customer support.

Hi all As I may have mentioned before (when I was here last about a hundred years ago) I work at a music store and we now have Overton Whistles from Colin Goldie. Selling Colins Whistles is just pure joy! The best bit is, of course, receiving a new shipment. It's always a bit like Christmas. All tho...

Well, I think this is really the point. A lot of us, me included, take some of the high end whistle "brands" out there for granted. But they're not. Most makers do their job because of their love for it. But when one of 'em ever gets in a situation where he really needs cash, he may not b...

Personally I like it, when one can see, that a whistle has been played and has seen the world, so I keep cleaning to a minimum. But the question is: What do YOU like?

Lately I have been talking to a couple of whistle and Flute makers. There's two things that they all say: I have so many orders that I can hardly keep up with them. I make so little money out of this that it's difficult to make a living of it and I might eventually have to get a dayjob. This leads m...

The road to your heart is too graveled and thorny
and frankly you're really just making me horny...

(bleep) THAT VISTA sh*t!!!!! I am only using it because it came with my computer and I don't know how to change it. It's a complete pain in the ass!!!! Now that I finally learned all the cool functions of Word, everything changed! And my very cool homerecording hardware doesn't work with it either. ...
