Subject: Re: [scots-l] Tin Whistle
Bands
The histories of the penny whistle and
flute bands in Scotland have still to be written. I'd be very interested in
any further refrences to Scotland.
------------- Well, me too, not only of bands but
also of the history of the instrument: until know I've just seen some
instruments in the Reid Collection (London-made whistles ranging from Bb to G,
I think) and the "medieval" pennywhistle found in excavations in North
Berwick. It would be interesting to know more old whistle makers in Scotland
and England apart from the well known Rober Clarke.
Anyway, many thanks for the
information,
Manuel
