Yes thats true.
You can win one just now ,well not just now but soon as there is a wee compo goin on at http://whistlenstrings.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=325&st=0&p=4614&
And if anyone is thinking of buying Walts low D the fipple can be made as good as new with some metal polish an elbow grease 
Well, after a few tries, Iâve decided the registration form hates me.
I have the same problem
I couldnât do it either.
It would help if the form gave some sort of clue as to which field it thought you had entered incorrectly.
Three email address fields seems excessive.
The colours are unsympathetic and the typeface threatening and paranoid.
I donât want your whistle any more.
(âŠHey! I feel a song coming on! âŠI donât want your whistle any moreâŠ)
Same rhythm, but the opposite emotion!
Ahem⊠she did say, âYou can win one just now ,well not just now but soonâŠâ
After 6 or 7 trys - I thought I was going crazy - then I read the rest of the posts and am relieved I can cancel my psychiatrtrist appointmet(for today anyway)
Iâve had the same trouble. I tried signing up on that forum a few weeks ago and gave up â all sorts of registration hassles that I just couldnât resolve.

Sort of makes you wonder if theyâre really giving away a whistle or just harvesting email addresses. HmmmâŠ
âŠyou donât think youâll win, because you donât think that you successfully enteredâŠbut, if baiting the whistle community was your goal and your form was designed to ask for a valid email address several times, youâre done. Why bother with the whistle?
Maybe the server is busy or the form is poorly written. Yeah, probably thatâs it. 
Well, Staceyâs forum has been running for some time now, so I doubt the ulterior motive is to harvest e-mail addresses or harrass the C&F crowd â though I appreciate a good conspiracy theory. 
I suspect the trouble stems from an oddly configured system. I canât recall exactly what problems I encountered, but I vaguely remember getting to the page where I could seemingly create a user account, and then clicking a âsubmitâ button like mad, only to be returned to the same page (with no account created).
Never submit!
Or something.

Well now, Stacey used to be an avid poster here on chiff&fipple, I do believe she means what she says, and that the signing up thing is just a bit screwed, sheâll look into it fast, Iâm sure.
Yeah, I really am just kidding. I like a good conspiracy theory myself sometimes. Besides, an Alba is on my short-list of âneedsâ. Firstly I need to pick a key and then I need to pick a pocket. Sooner or later, Iâll have an AlbaâŠG or A, A or G or FâŠdang!
If we didnât already know Stacey, that might be a worry ⊠but I donât think Staceyâs into that kind of foolishness.
there have been on and off again issues with the registration process.
Stacy has a web link,
her web link has a contact page
ya might want to send a Name and password for her to use
if ya decade to go that wayâŠ
Staceyâs board is legit, if a little slow-moving.
Sorry you guys have been having problems.
If you 
I have been trying to sort out this problem for awhile now
