tell me I'm crazy
« on: November 16, 2007, 09:45:27 AM »
I've just agreed to buy a pennywhistle set (C and D bodies, one headjoint) for 47,500 pennies.

I've known Chris for years; he used to work for Brannen Bros. where I work,

http://www.brannenflutes.com/

and his whistles are among the very best.

Tell me I'm crazy—but it won't change my decision. :)

That's a pretty penny!
Hopefully you can get a gig--Celtic music is popular--and that will make it a wise investment.
However, just for the record--you must be crazy!

1. I've wanted one of his (a D) for years
2. They were half that much then
3. He makes one of the best whistles in the world
4. The money was a gift
5. Euros?? He's in Ashville, N. C.
6. He used to work for Brannen Flutes (where I work)
7. They're cheaper than his flutes (~$12,000)
8. And I get an extra body in C
9. Oak/Clarke/Generation they ain't
and
10. I already know how to play. Some.
