Oh Loren ...Time what is time? Some artists can paint a masterpiece in minuites,as far as Chieftain whistles are concerned,just enough,no more ,no less than is needed to make an instument that I can't seem to produce enough of. And Bloomie,if could give a (bleep) about what you thought of our instru...

Hey Sean of the feadog,check the cover notes.

I guess Bloomie must be on the payroll.Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Chieftains are machined by a very skilled engineer to a VERY high spec and HANDFINISHED by me...each and every one...voiced ...tickelled...played and polished...packed and waved goodbye with a tear in the eye...AND sometimes I even ge...

Hi guys,I have a q. for you techies. I have QT movies on the KWL site,whenever I try to view them a message from activeX comes up and prompts me to run it.I close it down and it wants to run a error send thing. I have unistalled the activeX programm but it still keeps running. Any Ideas. This doesn'...

I'd go for a tunable everytime ,you never know when you'll need to tune up or down.If you only play toons by yourself and have no reason to play toons with anyone else a fixed whistle is fine. Most other instruments are tunable and some of the dilks that play them maybe cannot tune them to a440,so a...

OK,there are the odd exceptions.
gernerally,if you start with a clean whistle and don't eat whilst playing it,you will find that it mellows with age,cleaning them then will undo abit of that mellowness IMO.

Thanks for all the translations.

Do you realize you have opened a tin of worms here.
Batton down the hatches lads ,we're in for a big one.
Phil.
ps.Chief,be gentle with them.

Mr Nate,I just wanted a translation as I have never known what they said in the add.It's just a bit of fun.
Is that too much to ask?
Lets have a look at you,I see no name ...nothing,I get sick of name callers who hide.

...Wanganui...isn't that somewhere in New Zealand...north island I think!
How about a new HANDEL.....WHISTLENUI...could work.

I think my dog is most annoyed by me as I don't take her for walks for 5 hours per day.
By 3 in the afternoon she goes crazy if she hasn't had a walk.

I am off to Israel very soon,a friend's son is getting married. I used to spend a lot of time there touring with Tibetain Bowls. I found an old add the other day and wondered what it said. It's below,if any one can translate it ,I'd be very grateful. Don't laugh. Those were the days. Phil http://www...

I usually have a small stand in the main square for 2-3 days with everything on it.

I was in the factory yesterday and they were cutting up tube and starting the machining process.They assured me they would be done by the end of next week...so end of April it is. There will be 50 fixed and 50 tunables. I get emails from the USA all the time saying they can't find kerry Songbirds in...

I wouldn't touch a small bore,I only play large bore whistles. Having started on low whistles I have way too much breath for those little tiddly whistles. Actually,I started on the didgeridoo way before whistles and learnt circular breathing,then whistles came along.I needed something I could really...
