I'm really a rock guitarist who stumbled here by accident. But I've written a bunch of rock and roll songs.

I know of someone who wrote a whistle tune. Have you heard Avanutria's "Dallas Skies"? It's one of my fav's.

Ditto. I haven't found a C I like.
I've got a Jerry Freeman tweaked Sweetone and it's my favorite C whistle.
After playing it, my stock Sweetone D gets tossed back in the drawer.

The next day we saw that his right ear was standing up. The day after that, his left ear stood up, too. It was a surp...

I voted for the Feadog because it's tuning is very good. (A necessity because I play in a band.) Also, it's unpainted brass surface lets it double as a guitar slide. :D However, my Feadog sports a Walton LBW head with poster tack in the cavity. I call it my "Little Black Dog." http://home....
