I've had a whistle lounging on the shelf for the last two years ( I had started to learn when I found that one of my cats violently disagreed with my choice of instrument, negative conditioning succeeded with the cat winning the argument ) my cat ( sadly )died 18 months ago and I'd only recently thought about taking it up again. I found the same problem about 'tutors' and this thread has given me a wonderful resource so I can get going again, CHEERS!TTFN M'Lady P.
