Re: FLAT chanter design - Vote for your favorite

I used 'casual onlooker' in general terms. Maybe I was trying to say that this situation is one that needs close examination before coming to that particular conclusion.

Re: FLAT chanter design - Vote for your favorite

First of all, stop thinking in terms of 'Kenna, Coyne, Harrington'. You will only get those when they have actually made it. Even Geoff Wooff's C chanters, while they come as close as you will get them, are not quite the same as his Harrington. . no indeed, I think he makes them better. But all is ...

Re: No more Overton whistles

It's better name to, now he can advertise with:
"Goldie whistles, the whistle with the Golden sound" .

Re: Anyone seen the Tyros3?

Why not, as there are a lot of other instruments in keybords and synthesizers. The sound is rather Ok. A few years ago a bagpipe sounded like a...... , you tell me.
