Back when I briefly made wooden whistles, I couldn't afford a large enough machine lathe to do the bore drilling on, so I compromised. I bought an extremely affordable very long wood late from Harbor Freight, and used that for my drilling. I bolted the lathe down to a workbench, and then manually fe...

I just shot a message off to the dev to see if they can update the API version targeted in the store. I'll let you all know if I hear back.

It's because Google changed versioning required in the app store, starting Nov 2022. Since I downloaded it before then, I got in before this new requirement. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75515890/this-app-isnt-available-for-your-device-because-it-was-made-for-an-older-versio Starting from 1 N...

I'm using Android 13, and Tunepal works perfectly on my phone. I'm getting a message saying "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android", so I can't try it. And it's definitely using Android 13. That's odd. I wonder what the difference is ...

Tunepal -- hold it up, hit record, after a few seconds, it will analyze what it heard and try to figure out what traditional tune it was.

Hi Greg! Thanks for the confirmation. From around 2006ish makes sense but it might have been from before you were keeping sales records as I think we were in contact already...were you the one that got my mini lathe when I moved, or was that someone else? Someone else, I'm sure. I ordered mine from...

[Thread revival. - Mod] A bit of an old post but the whistle 2nd from the bottom looks near identical to one I own made by Greg Mahan. Wow, it sure does. Which means it was made in late 2006 or 2007. I didn't take pics of every whistle I made back then, but here's a cocobolo by way of comparison. A...

I bought a Water Weasel last year(?) from someone selling it on FB...a lot of comments on the post were like "Who would pay that for a plastic whistle??"

But when I got it, I posted a clip, and they were all "oh yeah, i get it now" lol

COVID really did a number on my various habits..I can't believe it's been so long since I last hung out here.

On May 16 of this year, this board will have operated for 20 years. Actually, it existed for maybe 2 or 3 years before that, I think, on a different software platform. Yeah, I remember seasoned Chiffers mentioning the previous incarnation. Didn't it have a different name, too? My memory ain’t what ...

Learn tunes. Play in lots of sessions.

This post aged poorly.

I am certain Katy has a more than passing familiarity with the writings of my buddy Paul Stamets, whom I have nick-named ´St. Paul of the Mushrooms´, the owner of Fungi Perfecti . Paul led me down the ´garden path´ to becoming a part-time shii-take grower, provisioner to the kind of restaurants I c...

Just wanted to drop a line here thanking everyone who's ordered. We got someone just yesterday who commented they saw the etsy page here on C&F. This is not a bump to try to drum up more business...she's currently a little overwhelmed and freaking out :) But I thought I'd come in and say thanks ...

at a slight price increase (around $30 USD last I checked), the Dixon DX-Trad is a nice and easy place little whistle. Is that this one? https://www.amazon.com/Dixon-Trad-D-Whistle-Nickel/dp/B001KZTSB6/ yup. Also here: https://www.tonydixonmusic.co.uk/product/soprano-whistle-the-trad-nickel-key-of-...
