Can someone please point me to some posted Busman sound clips? Surely there must be some, but they are eluding my best search efforts…
There’s at least one on the Clips ‘n’ Snips Slow Airs page…I think it’s Tony Higgins playing, about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Here…let’s see if this link works:

If not, just scroll down the page…it’s Coinnleach Glas an Fhomhair, and it is Tony playing a Busman (which is listed as a “Brewerpaul”)

Thank you… I had overlooked that one. I had even done a search on all of the C&S pages for ‘Busman’ to make sure I did not miss one. Foiled again!
Nice clip of Shannon Heaton playing one.
I can’t seem to hear the clip. I click on it, but it doesn’t load (I don’t even get a little hourglass telling me to wait while it tries to load). Is it broken, or am I lacking some kind of software?

It’s apparently Macromedia Flash player 6…I made the mistake of clicking the link twice, now I have dueling Busmans!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Hmmm…I thought I had Flash enabled. I’ll have to check it.
Dueling Busmans!

Flash 6 is indeed the answer. It is a nice clip… Sounds good! Not too shabby a player either 
Which wood is pictured on Blayne’s page?

I don’t usually respond to threads regarding my own whistles, but I can’t resist:
The above quote sounds like me and my former wife!!
That’s pretty funny Paul…I was going to say it sounded like a flock of psychotic cuckoos, but maybe that would be too close to home?

It LOOKS like Kingwood in the picture (in fact, my first thought on seeing it was "Hey, that’s MY whistle, until I looked closer and realized the figuring wasn’t quite the same), but that isn’t one of the listed options. Bocote, maybe?
