You'r Freakin' me out Pat!

Hello All,

I have a Hohner Morgane and one note's tuning is driving me nuts. Is there any way to tune this one note myself, or do I need to get it to someone who knows what they are doing? Thanks in advance for the advice.

While visiting Ireland in March, I had the opportunity to visit David’s shop. I ended up ordering a keyless flute which I am expecting in late May. His flutes are very well made and easy to play.

Went to the Willie Clancy festival last year. I also stayed in Doolin. Loved the pubs! McGanns was was favorite. Do have a pint or two for me and make sure you drive on the left after those few pints.

Thanks

Just received my "A" Sindt whistle yesterday.
Wow! This is a very nice musical instrument. It has great tone through both octaves and really has superb intonation. I think this whistle will become my favorite rather quickly.
