Is this the way to lubricate a pennywhistle?

Which lubricant is best?

I think you’d be hard pushed to find a better lubricant. I hadn’t considered lubricating a whistle of any point till now but I’ve learned something today. Thanks for the enlightenment :slight_smile:

I’m letting the reins of WHOAD go and buying whistles in complete sets.

Coooooooooooool rendition of The Lonesome Boatman. Liked that lad’s version of the “Crazy Straw”. :smiley:

Yes that is the proper way, and that is the best lubricant to use. Though I would never lube any of my whistles that way without thoroughly cleaning them both before and after.

Really nice :slight_smile: … but did you check out the “bodhran” players in the background :laughing:

I did notice that… :laughing: I think they call it the backwhack and the ostrich. And if you want to check for details, the pennywhistler left a courtesy sip for the cup holder to enjoy.
Swell guy he is :thumbsup:

funny, but I emphatically do NOT recommend this for wooden whistles!
