Howdy, I picked this flute up last year from Doc Jones. I've been playing whistle for a while, and thought I'd dip my toe in the flute world - but I just don't play regularly enough to get that darn pucker down. This is a black delrin Rudall style flute with Jon's decorative silver rings and chatter...

Howdy,

Barfly.

Howdy,


Here is a sound clip of the whistle going up through the scale. And I misread your request, so at the end is a recording of strikes on the third octave d and second octave b and a.

Howdy,

Can do, but may take a day or two.

Howdy, I'm selling my delrin Busman whistle. I really like this whistle, and it was the first high end whistle I ever bought. Paul made it last year, and it has the great Busman sound: Pure, but with great character. Ornaments are very crisp, and it has a nice in-tune C natural. Since the body is ma...

Howdy,

I've got one too, and like it a lot.

Howdy, Back a while ago, there was a hilarious one man show called "Steven Bank's Home Entertainment Center" about a musical dreamer with a really _low_ attention span. In one segment, he plays recorder with his nose. It's six minute into the segment here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4...

See? You do have hearing loss

Howdy, I sell big drums where hearing loss is definitely a problem in the community. Because of that, I also sell earplugs that are cheap ($13), attenuate pretty darn evenly across the frequency range, are are reusable. I like them much better than my $180 custom musician's earplugs which don't seal...

Howdy,

Count California out. Happy Doc customer here.

Howdy,
