Thanks for that, bogman, much appreciated. All I require now is a currency converter and possibly where in England they might be obtainable from.

You need to order them directly from the website, there’s a waiting list.

Julie plays it half a tone higher in the key of Cm - is it an Eb Whistle?

This sounds like the final tune in "the panda" on Almost an Island….

And you’re right, it is.
