Naked or Barky?

Post by BoneQuint »

I imagine most of you have seen the thread on Vitek Kasparik's Elderflower whistles. I was just wondering which style people prefered -- bark or no bark? Or maybe you don't like the style at all? I think they're pretty darn cool.

It may bark awright, as long as it doesn't smell of elderberries!

Barking mad.

Post by kevin m. »

I think the whistle without Bark will have more BITE.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

p.s.: Does he make Uilleann Pipes like that to?

:lol: I'd like to see that! That would make learning the pipes even rougher.

They are pretty neat looking. I'd like to see one with a tuning slide as well. Now a set of 'bark-on' UPs would be absolutely funky looking, but I imagine they would be a little tricky to make...you know...finding just the right diameter stick for the chanter et all. I suppose for the key mounts one could use a modified Taylor design. :D

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

The one with the bark brought us back memories of Souvieers of various
places in the mountains and near Nat. Parks in the 1950's when all
kinds of trinkets could be purchased with bark on them, ie salt and pepper
shakers and toothpick holders, remember? These would fit right in.

The nekkid one looks too much like a cane whistle and the other one just sounds funny. I may have to buy one of each to see which I like better.

Sorry, but the "barky" one just reminds me entirely too much of the tacky so-called "rustic handicrafts" sold to stupid tourists up here out in the sticks.
