Endowed with whistles from above.

Well, when I came out of the closet about my whistle playing to my mom she was caught a little off gaurd to say the least. I had a susato Low D and some cheap peice of garbage high D.

However, she soon revealed that both her and my late father were former fipplers. It was my turn to be supprized. Since I’ve come back home from school I’ve come into the possesion of my father’s old Soprano D. I don’t know what brand it is, but it sounds way better than my trashy cheap one (not to say that cheap ones are trashy, just mine). I got his old Native American Flute, which I never knew he had; and finally, my mom’s old baroque recorder. They all sound great.

That’s a whole lot of fipple for nothing.

What does this mean?

It means you’re a really lucky guy. In addition to getting some nice instruments, you also have some terrific family momentos. Enjoy them!

That would explain it.

It also means that being a whistler is genetic, not just a “lifestyle choice”. :wink:

Oh it could be both.

you have to be in the mood for that sort of thing… I’m working up to it.

It’s not like a shining star or anything. It still has it’s kinks. It’s just that the other one sucks donkey balls in the second octave.

not that there isn’t.

Did they give up whistling so they could get married by the state?

Or not. “Mom. Dad. I have something to tell you…I’m Celtic.”
