Useful websites, in no particular order:
•Praise Whistlers Abroad - My internet home community, as it were. Includes a discussion board for people interested in whistle, flute and other instruments, used in personal or public worship. A good set of links, too.
•Cyberhymnal - The authoritative source for hymns online (imho), with lyrics (all verses), history, midis, and music score in Noteworthy Composer format.
•The Whistle Shop - Whistles, flutes, fifes, and songbooks. Also a very good beginner's section, including an online tutorial. The Meg is my whistle of choice for groups of kids, and these folks have them for the frighteningly reasonable price of $4.80 each. Contact them by e-mail before you order quantities for educational purposes (links on their pages).
•Whistle and Drum - Fellow Coloradoan Blayne Chastain has a really nifty shop! Worth a look if you are whistle (or drum) shopping, or just browsing.
•Mack Hoover - Maker of very nice whistles, known for a quiet, sweet tone. Mack, an all-around good guy, put voice to the idea of Praise Whistlers Abroad, and has supported and encouraged Whistle and Squeak.
•Chiff and Fipple - What is a whistle links page without a link to the venerable C&F? Dale Wisely's site is the 800-pound gorilla of pennywhistle websites. A great resource, but you probably found C&F long ago. Dale actually published a letter of mine years ago in his newsletter. Impressive, No?
•Chris Peterson's Traditional Music - This page is great! Tunes in midi for listening, and gif format for sheet music. No tablature, and some of the keys may be difficult to play on a D whistle. But, hey, if I can learn to read and transpose music...
•dmoz.org directory - Very large directory of sites with pennywhistle tunes.
•ethnicwind.com - Nick Metcalf, a fellow PWA'er, makes some strikingly beautiful whistles. Now to save up...
•Musician's Network - More information and gear than you can shake a whistle at! Here's the Instruments - Winds page.
