My father is (sadly) an old man, sick too (asbest in the lungs). Therefore he is no longer able to work in his beloved workshop :sniffle: . So he's turning all of his tools and mashinery over to me, this comming sommer I'm building a workshop in the garden. But before I'm getting the stuf he wants t...

Is it just in the US or will one of the whistles arrive in europe to?

Hi Walrii. Sorry to hijack your thread .:wink: I have used the same recipe as you to make high D's and i'm facing the same problems as you, except mine is in the second octave G-A-B where other tones seems to blend in :sniffle: I don't know how to correct it :moreevil: Please somebody help us!! As s...

Thanks for that great website. There is enough music there to keep a person listening for a long time. I am listening to some of the old recordings and I also found a present-day band I really like called Lunterne ---four older fellows, really excellent musicians. I don't how "traditional"...

Hi, yes it's me again. :P This has turned out to be a great weekend. Yesterday out playing myself and today the whife and I went to a consert with :oops: :o (yes I know it's almost a sacrilege) the recordplayer Michala Petri. I know that some of you dislike the recorder, but in the mouth of the righ...

Hi Cynth

Yes the website you are talkung about has mostly more modern traditionally based musik.
If you want to listen to more trad. music I can recomend you to visit www.folkemusik.dk and listen to the Authentic Recordings, the website also has links to a lot of danish folkmusic bands.

Late nite (1.45) just come home from a day and evening with great music and now trying to cool off again so I can go to bed. A hole days session (course) in danish trad. music followed by an evening playing to "legestue" trad. danish folkdance. Lots of dancers and "spillemænd" (p...

[quote="Swedish-Banjo"]On the other hand, here in Sweden it is pretty hard to find all those brands that you guys talk about, or maby it's just me not knowing where to look. Hi Swedish-banjo. We have the same problem in Denmark to :swear: . But as Jerry says try Bigwhistle. I have done bus...

Well Packie, you sertenly seems to be hijacked by something/somebody. I had a similar problem som 2-3 months ago. It is pretty difficuld to get ridt of. Actually I solved the problem the way Jumbuk tels about. Run Spybot and Adaware. Run HiJackthis and get a report from it. Find a forum that can hel...

Hi I have with great interess followed the discussion in this thread and I thought that I would give my little contribution. I think that it must be a matter of stile and use of the music that you are playing wheter you tong or not. As a person not playing Irish but Danish trad. music I will say tha...

Hi Congratuilations! Thought about making whistles myself, maybe in spring, we'll see... Would you mind to tell us how you calculated the toneholes and spacings? Have fun furtheron :) Well I didn't make any calculations :o (Pure luck) No, if you visit the website: http://science.univr.it/%7egonzato/...

After many thoughts I finally did it. Yesterday I went to the store bought some electrisians pipe and a wooden stick and spend the evening making a whistle. And it turned out surprisingly well .:o A Quiet, easy playable whistle with a very nice soft tone :lol: :lol: This is great, making your own mu...
