That Copeland's whistles can sound different is not in question. Could he make the same whistle at the same time, using say brass for the first and silver for the second, and have them sound close? I think the answer is 'yes'. Do whistles sound different from makers, especially when they are made se...

Have it insured for its full value. Have it declared for its full value. Mail service via postal service is spectacular these days. A letter mailed from here, a suburb of Chicago, is delivered three days later in Ireland - almost exactly the same service as for mailing a first class letter in the US.

Great stuff! The google project to publish everything online is simply astonishing. Overnight, it made travel to the archives to see the same documents/books optional. One may always have the need to see the physical item and its pencil notes, for instance, but it really changes the range for all of...

You may have killed the germs but also may have killed the value of a potentially historic piece (I watch Antiques Roadshow)...that whistle may have had old sod from the Ould Sod in there or even original snuff (that could explain the DNA). Actually, eBAY has guidelines for laundering garments, etc ...

The ABC notation basically converts standard musical notation (that is not usable for a computer software application) into a file fomat for the ABC software program. So, generating the standard musical notation is part of the software application. In Ireland, people sometimes write out music with a...
