Great pic, Thos. I can only imagine
the crafty “Captions” lurking out there…
Neat! You know, I believe Michael
Copeland did apprentice as a maker
of organ pipes. Also he made jewelry.
The work of both occupations is
evident in Copeland whistles.
Dang!! You’d need one VERY windy person to blow, plus 6 friends ( one to cover each fingerhole with a garbage can lid) to play tunes on these babies.
I went to a whistle performance in Saratoga a coupla years ago featuring several local players and one ( whose name escapes me at the moment) had an old organ pipe with him, with painted fingerholes and the sound producing end painted to resemble a whistle fipple. He used this as a prop in a long story about a giant… very funny.
