So that's what it was, I thought it was a cord to the adding machine at the shelter. They have as white one with thumbs, that sits in the office, so we thought we'd show her off. She might not be ready for a whistle yet. She just batted it around on the floor. Perhaps she was just practicing her fin...

I can't help but to wonder about Osama Bin Lauden. I mean what keeps this guy going. Hunkered down with his army dissapearing. The whole world knows who you are, so you can't never go shopping. Winter comming, and it's getting harder to get to the food packets every day. Perhaps he could use a whist...

Hmm, perhaps I'll try this,but first I need to work on Chirstmas presents for nieces and nephews. If I want to come to the party next year, I'd better keep the vollume low. Except for Lacey's high g, Tim and Mary, have coming. hahaha

Thank You Ronaldo,

These I've tried, they work pretty good. When you increase the bore though, it takes more wind. Perhaps a wider flatter fipple. So far, when increassing the fiplle size, it was with curved walls.

Could someone please tell me, how many ways are there in making whistles louder? I've made a few, but not happy with the vollume level. It's not that they're really quiet, but not as loud as my Sweetone.

Thank You

If you don't like scruffy, brass is always more fun to polish than nickle. Of course the painted ones come in so many colors, you can get a different color for every holiday.
