@chifmunk I have a mandolin which needed some major work to get it playable. It plays now but its a very hard instrument to get to grips with. Its tuned the same as violin (GDAE) and chords are weird!
Carbon whistles I suppose;)
To be honest I mostly drink coffee, pods in a coffee machine or filter using an adaptor. I occasionally drink tea on an evening but it has to be strong with very little milk.
Yorkshire Tea for me. I have loose tea which I brew using a plunger type brewer
I learned this irish tune on guitar, then I decided to try it on tinwhistle. Playing here on my Clarke Sweetone in D
Yes I play recorder, started around 2016 with an Aulos soprano. I still have it but I prefer lower pitched recorders so I also have an alto and a tenor. The tenor is a beautiful instrument, in a world of its own.
Not sure really , I'll just whistle through some tunes I know,maybe some recorder tunes. Or Christmas tunes!
Well I'm getting a whistle for my birthday next sunday, a Clarke Sweetone. And though I have neglected my whistle playing I'd like to get back into it. I'm quite looking forward to trying out the Sweetone!
Yes its made of metal. And it has 3 rubber feet on the bottom with a rubber plug in the bottom. If you remove it you can tune it with magnets on the underside of the tongues.
I got a couple of tongue drums recently, theyre quite fun things to play around with. You can get them in many keys including strange, minor keys. And you can tune them yourself with little magnets.
England? Hey! I have heard of this place!
Very wet and mild at the moment. Gonna have the warmest new year's on record
@Larry - I have had very good experiences with online whistle purchases. I recommend: Becker, US, Goldfinch, Poland, Humphrey, US, Takahe, NZ and if you want to go high end, Bruke or Reyburn, US. Of these Becker is the most affordable at about $15. Handcrafted PVC and very pleasing to play. James Becker, the craftsman, obviously makes whistles for the love of his craft, not as a business enterprise.
Ah I'm in England, so its sites like JustFlutes, Eagle Music and Amazon that I look to
Ok I just picked up my Feadóg after some time away from it, and looked through the little James Galway book I've been working through, and the next piece to try is The Foggy Dew. I found it really hard, partly because I'd forgotten my fingerings, and also it spends a lot of time in the second octave. Oh my ears!
@Strumelia that's true, but its much easier to be able to just pick up a whistle in a shop rather than having to deal with delivery and all its pitfalls. Plus you can have a good look while you're there.
I only have 2 whistles, a Feadóg D and a Generation C. Not sure but I think I prefer the Feadóg, but I tried to tweak it a little as it has an overtone that I'm not too keen on. Not sure how successful I was. I want to try more whistles to be honest, but there's no music shops near me
I'm quite taken with these whistles with the wooden block, and I was thinking of getting one out of curiosity. Anyone play one?
Music from Lord of the Rings on my D Feadóg
This happens to me a lot too. Moving through phases of enjoying different types of instruments that I have at home. I think certain people are just more naturally prone to doing this. Variety can keep us motivated, that's how i see it. 
That is a sweet little simple tune with a bit of added interest in the second part. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Strange how things come around... I all but gave up on whistle, preferring the recorder. But I picked up my whistles again and found myself wanting to play more traditional tunes.
Here's one from my recorder book. It's a lovely little tune called Flowers of the Forest, played on my D Feadóg.
I've gone & done it again, an MK Kelpie low 'F' came up for sale, it will be added to my ever growing collection of better quality whistles.
So now I think I need to thin out the collection, the question is, should I try selling the Gens/Faedog/Waltons, or just find a charity to give them to.
I think I favour giving them to those who may not have the resources to buy them for themselves, or where they could be used by multiple students to learn on. (Will have to see if I can find such.)
Good for you, Larry, I hope it works out OK, I used to like mine, it was just a bit too quiet for me.
Funnily enough, I've just bought a glass slide for my ukes, I'd been been meaning to get one for ages, (about a year actually). 
I'm currently enjoying playing with slide guitar in open G tuning.

Larry that's a really pretty little tune! I like the trills you are doing. You must name this tune, it has a forest/bird feel to it. Maybe something lalong the lines of "Thrush in the Brambles" ...?
I find that improvising in the minor (in this Em on a D whistle) seems to flow more naturally than improvising in the major scale.
Little tune I came up with on my D Feadóg
