I have a tuneable D water weasel and have been debating trading it for some time. Its a nice whistle, but my problem with it is that the holes are too large for my fingers thus I never give it any play time. Would any one want to trade a whistle for it? Its not in pristine condition, my niece left teeth marks on the fipple, but its perfectly fine whistle in every other respect.
If anyone is willing to trade, a comparable used C whistle or a low whistle of any variety would more than thrill me.
Sorry to spoil your previously unblemished record IDAwHoa, its in the key of D. I edited my post above. Excuse my awkwardness. I’ve never traded anything before online.
Sounds like you’ve already sold it, but FWIW, those large fingerholes are not too hard to get used to. The advantage is that once you’re comfortable with them, it’s really easy to bend notes on those holes.
BTW-- where in the North Country do you live? Love it up in the 'dacks!
I live in Massena, just north of the 'dacks. Love it up here, the snow, the mountains the clean rivers and Canada is a 15 min drive away. My western friends laugh at my mountains, but who cares. They’re wonderful.
The mountains in the west are nice, but I’ll take the Adirondacks any day.
My favorite place in all the world is Ampersand Mountain. Perhaps small when compared to others, but when I stand upon the summit, I am truly on top of the world.
Nope, you’re all wrong. The best place on earth is 30 miles south along the St. Lawrence: Waddington NY, home of the international carp-off! Also, a great session every Sat. night at Riverlanes bowling alley.
I can’t say what my favorite is currently since I recently moved back from the Mid-west and I’m sooo glad to be back in New York. I do have fond memories of camping in the middle of winter between upper and lower Wolfjaw mountains. It was extremely cold, but the silence and beauty was haunting. I wish I had a picture handy.
For anyone interested in more out-of-the-way places, the Chilcotin Mountains in British Columbia are… …very, very good. Raw, wild, and varied, but not impossible to get to. It was scouted as a location for the Lord Of The Rings movies, but I don’t know that hobbits and 1500lb alpine grizzly bears get along. Chilko Lake and Tweedsmuir Park are the best, and I feel blessed to have lived in the area.
