so when your transporting your whisltes on an airplane or into a pub they don't freak out when your carrying a case that says Smith & Wesson on the side??? :D But really, that's a good idea too, those things are pretty durable, and i already have a couple. But i was looking for something for a f...

hey thanks that's perfect, he can use it for multiple whistles, sounds great, thanks a lot.

no it's not for the busman, my friend has a Rose, and he was wanting a case for it. I thought it would make a nice birthday present. But i like the little case that the busman came with.

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of a maker/seller of wooden box type cases for whistles. Just wondering how much they would charge and or if it would be cheaper to just make it myself. Thanks for whatever you guys come up with.

I'm using bore oil, purchased from a music shop down the street to oil the whole thing. I figure it'll do the trick and i don't have to worry about mixing anything incorrectly. I gotta treasure and pamper this one.

Hey i'm near the sacramento area, (well just an hour away) and i've never heard of any sessions, but would like to know more about this festival (since i've never heard of it). Is there going to be whistling? because if there is, I'm there.

Oh don't worry about me taking care of it, i waited an entired day before putting it together just to make sure i wasn't missing something (like lubricant) the whole day all i did was sit there and look at it. I really enjoyed playing it for twenty minutes today. It's slightly airy in the second oct...

sweet thanks a bunch

hey guys this is my first wooden whistle, and i was wondering am i supposed to oil the outside as well as the bore??? i'm not quite sure and it doesn't say on the info sheet so i figured i'd ask here to be sure. THanks

Hey thanks for the reply, and thanks for the whistle. Absolutely beautiful, and now that i've played it i'm in love with it. Can't believe that kind of sound can come out of something so small. Thank you very much, worth every penny.

hey thanks for the answers guys. I guess i can just play it and if it need lubricant i'll find out when paul emails me back, but untill then it's time to start playing with it (only 20 mins a day that is, till it's broken in )

Hey all I recieved my Busman cocobolo D whistle yesterday and holy cow is it beautiful just to look at. The reason why i'm posting (not try to brag about my new whistle :) ) is that there weren't any instructions on what type of lubericant to put on the tunning slide. I've already emailed Paul my qu...

it says brass in the title of the post.

hey thanks, those two websites didn't pop up on google when i searched for cormac breatnach, but I had his name spelled wrong!!! oops sorry for the stupid question. THanks anyways.

Hey all, I was playing around on the Kerry Whistles site and started to poke around with the previews of CD albums page when I found Cormac Breatnach's "Music for whistle and guitar". I love the way it sounds, but I can't seem to find anyone who sells the CD, after looking online for half ...
