I've Got the Davy Spillane Low D

Post by Bloomfield »

Yes! It's true. I ordered the whistle from Davy Spillane in Liscannor. Everything went smoothly. It was delivered a few days a go.

I've got a Davy Spillane Low D!

Well, to be totally honest, I don't quite have the whistle yet. You see, I didn't have it shipped to me, but to a contact in Europe. It's a long story (not really, but that always sounds good). But the whistle has arrived. I am having the whistle sent to another friend, and he will send me pictures. I will soon get the pictures and will share them right here on Chiff & Fipple. This is the real thing, Dale knows all about it.

Very exciting stuff. I'll post said pictures, a review, and a sound clip as soon as I may. Stay tuned. I'm feeling 30 years younger, my palms are moist. Oh, boy.

Best,
Bloomfield

Happy April 1st, Bloomie... :wink:

Actually, i am Bloomfield. But the whistle got sent to my Aunt Perla, who lives in Argentina, due to a simple clerical error.

I would have a hard time believing this story posted any normal day of the week.

Seeing how it's April 1....I dunno...

I have it from a good source that Davy plays a Waltons Low whistle with a Generation green top. As a spare he plays a Generation Low whistle with a Waltons black top... :lol:

Bloomfield....I want to see the pictures when you have the whistle. This whistle you speak of is becoming more like a urban myth :lol: Just like the whistles described above :lol:

Neat! Oh, and guess what? Not to brag or anything, but I just won the All-Ireland harmonizing competition! I'm speechless!

Oh you peasants. Where is your faith? How dare you question such a well known authority who had just completed his 5,000th Post.

Wow, a double score in one post!
