I chose the second option, but I do do it quite a lot, usually whenever there's a good rhythmic accent (the two Ds in the fifth measure of the Wise Maid, eg, aren't good places for it IMO).

I loved my Waltons C, till it flel outta my pocket on the bike... My D is okay, not great, it sounds nice in some songs. Crushing the end with your hand a little will fix the tuning some. I started on a Feadog, right now my D is a Feadog head on a Gen body (dog's body bent, gen's head cracked, so I ...

I'm glad to hear people are liking this whistle; I'm planning on getting the fife sometime next year, and may order the whistle as well, if my budget permits. I e-mailed Ralph Sweet and asked if he has any plan to make in the future a plastic version of his Resonance low D laminated wood whistle: he...

I'm not much of a gun person (not much chance for it in the city since they closed the shooting range "before my time"), so I can't give much specific advice. But I do like my turkey gun- wasn't too expensive either, and if the fella's 12 too I don't see a need for anything fancier than a ...

Not to play, just to see what they feel like in the hands, etc.... who knows, I might even get reeeeeally lucky and find a Dixon or some other simp...

I believe the working range of a recorder is about an octave and a half, Whew, no! I can get two octaves on my recorders, and I know a lot of the literature calls for about another half-octave above that. The higher notes are definately easier to get on the whistle, tho. with no notes that sound we...
