Hi everybody, I have a few a few whistles left to sell before my other work takes over and I'll have a 5 months wait then. I have a wooden one in D made from African Blackwood, brass and Delrin.

Www.tionol.org I'll be running the reed making class this year. Because it's one day this year I'll be focusing on using spruce for reed heads. If you are thinking of attending I'll ask you to bring your favorite staple. I'll have a few extra with me but I can't guarantee that they'll suit your chan...

Yes,

I'll be running the reed making class with a focus on using spruce instead of cane.

I use this stuff on most woods.

I'll apply 2 to 4 coats depending on the wood and then polish it on a buffing wheel.

Ah no!! Another gentleman gone. John was my teacher at the Willie Week in '87 or maybe '88. He introduced us to the possibility of Donegal and Scottish Strathspeys and Highlands on the pipes. He opened our minds to another world of music that wasn't Ennis, Doran or Rowsome. He'll always be an influe...
