God, Rapaire, you're right!

I play tin whistle, just about the simplest instrument going, and I find myself going on and on with people who just ask the simple qustion - "What is that you're playing?" Of course I often open up my whistle case (a large drum stick bag) and start showing off 15 some whistles (about all I can resonably fit in the bag - the rest are at home). Usually 4 metal types, two mouth piece types, 8 keys, graduated -vs- straight bodies, countries of origin, etc.

Don't get me started about jews harps . . .
