What Bob says about my work
"During a recording session in 2002, I needed a B natural whistle. I told Colin Goldie that the proceeds of the CD sales would be earmarked for the victim's families of the September 11, 2001 disaster. The instrument arrived in less than a week. This instrument, like all of Colin's beautiful whistles, has a true tonality that has become a standard in the Celtic music industry. I am particularly fond of the "action" of the instrument in that there are no false notes or harmonics when transitioning quickly from a low to high octave or back again. Colin Goldie continues Bernie Overton's legacy by making quality instruments for the serious whistle player."
