Best, Paul Oh, so you're one of these 'round earth' johnnies, are you? Kindly keep your unfounded and react...

Well spotted, dubhlinn!
It seemed a suitable riposte to bfd.

Ennitt!?

Laters.....

I've been playing U Pipes for 8 months now. Been getting on ok - performed in public (audience of over a hundred) t'other day and got rave reviews so must be doing summat right. Of course my set was made by one of the finest makers around today, and craftsmanship counts, imho, fwiw, bfd, yttm. So wh...

Great links, folks.

Thanks. I'll pm him.

Well, I know I'm bucking the trend - sorry and all that - but I'm going to stick with the piano accordion. :o I've gained a bit of keyboard knowledge over the years and the start I feel that gives me compared to the unknown button layout is too valuable to waste, imho. Anyway, look what a great fist...

No jokes - closet dwellers are safe here with me, honest! :lol: Just picked up a Hohner 12 bass piano accordion and I'm having great fun with it.

Not many accordion players around here.

Where's the forum they hang out on?

I saw these for sale in a music shop the other day....

Still only a practice set at present.... but I'm saving my pennies!!! :roll:

This is sad news indeed. Exactly. My Water Weasel D has always been my favourite performance and session whistle since Glenn made it for me. I've never played a Thin Weasel but from what I have seen of his work I believe him to be a true craftsman whistlesmith. We never spoke, only emailed each oth...
