Hi gang,
I am quite pleased to announce that Parks Whistles now has a couple of new dealers.
One dealer is in Co Cork, Ireland. Yes, that’s right. It is exactly like sending coal to Newcastle. And I’m quite happy to do it, thank you very much. For anyone who may find themselves wandering about in Co Cork, please stop in to:
Bank Place, Main Street
Buttevant, Co. Cork, Ireland
And say “Hello” to Theo for me.
The other new dealer is in Canada:
Heritage Music
“Sharing the Legacy of Music”
Michael & Debbie White
350 Hwy 97B NE
Salmon Arm BC CANADA V1E 1X5
Website: HeritageMusic.net
Email: Heritage (at) HeritageMusic (dot) net
Ebay Store: ShopHeritageMusic.com
Heritage Music is into harps and harp kits as well as some other related instruments. They too should have their Parks whistles in a week or so.
So the complete list of current dealers is now:
Big Whistle Music UK
Irish Flute Store US
The Whistle Shop Co Cork, Ireland
Heritage Music, BC, Canada
Oz Whistles Australia
Panfilov Russia

In the workshop I’ve made a new jig to both hold and positively locate the whistles as I drill the finger holes. There’s no change to the whistles really, just a tad more consistency and less pressure on me to align things by eye. But the new jig will also hold larger pipe, so I can start working on those whistles in other keys that some of you have been asking me for. But no, I’m not announcing any new keys, just a step in that direction.
Stay “tuned”,
Carey
