I was thinking, you could stick it in your ear if you've a hollow head.

Then I was thinking, you know those Arrow Though the Head comical things you can get?

Wouldn't it be fun to have a Whistle Through the Head thing for sessions?

:D
All yes needs is a cheapo sawed in 'arf and stuck upon the arrow bits... adjusted down in sticky-outy-ness, of course.

Nope... ain't no piccies gonna be posted by yerstruly... no sireebob... you wants a look see, you've gotter come to the sessions, and you takes yer chances with hubby-dearest straightenin' out yer glasses fer ya. :lol:

By the by... it doesn't work nearly so neatly with the low D... :o ... not only is it more cumbersome to remove from said position, but it looks mightily odd indeed. Tis warm though! :boggle:

Sometimes I'll keep a whistle warm by keeping it under my beer gut when I'm sitting. Sometimes my armpit. Probably keeps people from wanting to play them...probably works in reverse for you and your crewneck annie :D
Somehow i think the 'attraction factor' is um... well... sagging in direct proportion to gravity's cumulative effect on aging body parts. :lol: .. though my hubby wisely assures me otherwise. :D
Naw Annie, it's not the " seen one seen em all " routine with those. It's more "seen one, wanna see em all"
You'll just have to continue to use your active imagination then, 'cause the insertion/extract process reveals nothing more than the whistle itself.

Someone finally found a use for those rolled tin whistles they sell at Colonial tourist traps!

I'm an innocent type, me. I don't understand. :-? This is worse than the algeBRA in that other thread about the rhythm and speed method.
Come on Annie, make a clean breast of it. Show us what you mean. I'm sure we'd all get to grips with .......... the concept ........ better if we had a demonstration.

I keep picturing those ladies who keep lipstick and money in their bras pulling out a big ol' whistle saying "and looky what we have here"

If you insert your whistles upside-down in there, no one will be able to see your fipples.

In all seriousness, I think that's a great idea. I mean, there's nothing worse than cold fipples :D

You just can't lick a good tweaked fipple, warm or cold. No dummies on this thread!

We may blow hot and cold, but we aren't suckers! And our fingering is indubitably heavenly.

I know there's a joke about a Low D in here somewhere but I think the mods may be antsy enough over this thread. :D
