I'm also interested in a European tour if one takes place. I love my Dixon aluminium (Aluminum as you call it in the States) but often reach for my Susato because of its stronger lower octave. I'd love to have a Dixon that could cut it with ohter instruments.

Its true. I never invite Lambchop to any social event. :D LC, sometimes people say something because it is a cliché response, not because they really mean it, or are offended, e.g. sometimes someone will put in an "Eeeewwwww" as a programmed response. No need to take it personally. Its us...

All the more for Henke and me.

My Norton has done this, re-install it and you should get no more problems.

What about Bee's Wax? Would probably work but subject to buildup over time, but then if one application does it for a long time this may not be an issue. Beeswax is great on the outside of whistles, but on the inside it would be very difficult to control build up and distribute it evenly. On the bl...
