I hearby announce the Weston Wooden Whistle WORLD WIDE Homecoming Tour
Please read the whole thread before responding!
I am orgainzing a tour for you’s guys on the other side of the pond. Taking names for the tour at this time.
Introducing the tour subject:
Simon Styles of Weston Whistles (Jetboy) graciously sent this, apparently Mahogany type wood, whistle to show around at our Bay Area Event on June 5th.
Details and fine print:
It would best if evaluations and comments be sent to Simon directly. I have seen where public comment has swayed subsequent evaluations by tour members. All comments will be reviewd and posted after the tour is complete or as Simon sees fit.
Number of tour participants still yet to be determined. I have already selected two participants from prior conversations. The tour is open to beginner as well as advanced players. I would actually like to see a mix if at all possible.
Tour period to be 2 weeks at each stop.
I will get the whistle to the first person. Any other postage and customs issues will need to be dealt with on your end of the tour. I will try to organize the tour in a logical manner so as to prevent lots of criss crossing. After the tour starts if you are in doubt about where to send the whistle please contact Simon. The last person on the tour will return the whistle to Simon at the address he will provide.
I appreciate the bumps but those who wish to participate should contact SIMON ( jetboy on C&F )via Email as well. Please send your full mailing address. Please consider that I am not familiar with European addressing and any explaination on how to best figure it out would be appreciated. We do not want this getting lost on its way to the first person!!!
I have tried to address all the issues that I have seen come up in other tours. Please let me know if you think I may have missed anything. POost any questions about the tour here.
I cannot be held responsible for Zube keeping the whistle longer than he is supposed to.
That is right people, you read it right. Simon has indicated he would like to get this whistle into as many hands a possible so it is open to ANYONE that would like to give it a blow.
It will start here in the US, for obvious reasons. I will attempt to make the path as logical as possible. Hope to have this tour under way by next Monday or Tuesday since I have surgery scheduled for Thursday.
I’m not a trans-ponder,
(being on its right side
I know I stand here, not across)
but hey, it’s all relative.
Now, I’m not so sure I’m your relative,
but I’ll try and apply.
I will be shipping the whistle out on Tuesday to the location is closest to me and that has emailed a request to me by the time I leave work.
I will try to avoid as much back tracking as possible as it moves East from here. After Tuesday any additions to the tour will need to be OK’d by the tour people already in line.
I am transferring the managing of the tour to Simon.
Please contact Simon directly at sstyles@tiscali.co.uk if you wish to be considered for addition to this tour:
Gee… I’m just on the other side of the state from Lee in Weston, so it could come here on its way … I would love to give it ago… although I’m already in on the low D tour, so can’t whine too loudly if you don’t send it my way…
Well met! We will wait willingly, wistfully wending whims of wonderful whistle winding when once we weceive it. Even as it eases ever eastward, endeavoring, evidently, to end up eventually en engendering Europe.
… I would love to give it ago… although I’m already in on the low D tour, so can’t whine too loudly if you don’t send it my way…
