Thanks everyone for your replies. Its been a while, and Im now finding the strech a little easier (still using 123 fingering) , still squeeking. Wombat, you are correct, its a great shop! To Rbm, its not the size that counts, but how you use it, or so your mother keeps saying. She is very happy with...

Hi all, just received my Overton, and I am having troubles with the stretch to play the low D note. The whistle is an Overton made by Overton. What would u suggest for fingering with the the right hand, use 123 fingers, or 124???? Very confused, I have smallish sized hands, and have played a Howard ...

Hello all, just a couple of questions for the board. I hope thats OK. Firstly, I am picking up tunes aurally and through sheet music pretty well, however My speed at fast tempos is inconsistant, I have began practising with a click track through my keyboard. Anyway, does anyone have any tips or prac...

Hi tkelly, it is funny that you brought up this post, as only recently I wandered into this piano shop and found a couple of Walton's whistles. Anyway, after asking owner politely if I would be able to play one, I was shocked to hear his reply of no due to health regulations, BLAH,BLAh and so on. I ...

I have recently tweaked my Gen D. This was my first tweaking as such, and I was quite excited!! I followed the suggestions carefully and with caution. Anyway, in short I followed the advice from the C+F tweaking suggestions, and it now sounds worse, bad luck perhaps. They did warn me, and especially...

Thanks guys for your responses. VERY,VERY much appreciated. All the best Andy

HI all, can anyone help me with finding the chords to The Legacy Jig, any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried a few sites and as yet, no luck!
See ya Andy

Just curious if any players out there who own a Howard, like myself, and are having any problems with the high A and B in terms of getting an even half decent tone out of either of these notes. Maybe its me!!
See ya Andy.
Additional-- currently saving up for an Overton!!

Good idea Lee, I'll do just that. For the 2 Melbournians already on the C+F board, I would love to hear from you.
See ya Andy

Hello, just curious in finding out whether there are any any Australian whistlers with C+F. Love to correspond or even play with any fellow country men.
See ya

Thanks to all for the replies, much appreciated. Firstly Tradman, I live in Frankston, Victoria,Australia. Secondary to Tkelly, this pub has over 600 people on its mailing list, has connections to local soccer clubs (Brits/Irish) and will promote and hopefully support the session encouraging a famil...

Hello, we have organized with a local Irish pub in our area to start a once a month session, beginning in around 4-5 weeks. The only problem is I dont know where to start. The current lineup is myself on high and low whistle and a guitarist. We have currently around 30 pieces, inc jigs,reels,hornpip...

Just curious, after seeing the Irish band play Drowsy Maggie in the movie Titanic, I thought lets see if I can work up to that kind of speed and control. Well, LMAO, still far away. On my low D, I can handle the tempo, unfortunately control. How do other whistlers go playing this song VERY,VERY fast...

Thanks Loren, I might take your advice and begin reading earlier low D posts. I didnt realize that the Overton has a big hole whistle and a "goldie" made whistle. HHMMM, I guess after the Howard the big hole couldnt be that tough!! Ill check it out. I wonder whether the whistles have diffe...
