I wandered around the board looking for a way to put the following picture in this post without success so I’ just post the link:

I just finished reading this book. Not only is it a good read but it provides publicity for our favorite pastime. Don’t concern yourselves that the Pied Piper is a serial kidnapper of babies who leaves a penny whistle behind as his signature. There is no bad publicity, they say. The question is, what whistle does he leave behind - low end, high end, plastic, brass, aluminum? It’s not specified in the book, only that it’s a cheap penny whistle. What do our crime-savy members think a self respecting kidnapper would use as his signature?

But replace the paranthesis with brackets .
I think any self-respecting criminal would use an un-tweaked Feadog…

Well, the thing on the cover looks like a Feadog to me, but with that extra hole(s) it is probably unplayable.

If this worked there should be a picture of a book cover just above this line.

I think I give up!!!

Replace the () with
The url should be:

Fancypiper,
Thanks for your help. I have two questions:
- Where did you get the shorter url? When I looked at the pic in my web page just after I put it there the longer url was in the address box
Well I guess I had only one question.
Thanks,
Mike
Breaking News! My resident computer geek showed me how to find the url in the html source code. Makes me feel like a real computer wizard. NOT!
I’d have been inclined to think a Sweetone, but the photo on the cover seems to indicate a brass whistle with black plastic mouthpiece. I’ve not actually ever seen such a whistle. I think that Oaks have black mouthpieces. Not sure, though.
You can get Acorn whistles in brass with a black mouthpiece which is pretty much the same fipple as on the Oak whistles.

I’d bet at least a small amount of money that the mouthpiece is from a Feadog version II (based on simple visual comparison). And if you put the mouthpiece on the wrong end of the tube anyway, you can just as well exchange the tube with a brass one.

I always get the url of an image by navigating to the page on which the image is located (what you see in the address bar), right-clicking on the image I want, and select “copy image location”. I can’t remember how to do that in Microsoft software, but you should find something similarly.
They probably tweaked the picture to make it more interesting visually.
