mk Whistles 
To start off, I first learned about your whistles when I visited the website: www.theirishflutestore.com by Dr Patrick Jones DVM. So I Googled MK Whistles and found your site. Now as far as my musical past; I started out with drums from fifth to seventh grades, then went over to Eb Alto Sax (with a little […]
It was January in Idaho and I was lucky enough to be spending a work day on the slopes of my favorite mountain in the stunningly beautiful Sun Valley. I was by myself. My family and friends unable to join me on my sudden business trip to Idaho. I had arrived at dusk at the […]
Dear Mk music, This past week I was invited to Thailand to be a part of multi-cultural band that would provide music at the international meetings of a Christian charity organization. Although the band was mostly modern instruments, I was invited to provide a more ethnic “color” using various whistles, flutes and other instruments I […]

To my delight and, after a while, my parent’s annoyance I received a plastic low D. Most of Christmas day was spent playing the whistle and that carried on throughout the Christmas holidays. […]

Last autumn, my family and I traveled to Pakistan to visit and support girls’ schools in Lahore and its surrounding villages. I brought with me a set of shuttlepipes, a cheap banjo, and my trusty MK low-D. At this point I should mention that I not only sport a healthy beard, but also keep a […]
