Whistle anyone? (1)

While in Waterford i bought a tin whistle much to the chagrin of my family members as they are the ones that have to listen to me practice I was just getting the tune to "happy birthday"(for the englishman) down,, well I thought I was anyway, my son corrected me on this though real quick, he said to me "ma, maybe you should just sing it to him" so I sang it then he said "ma, maybe you should just buy him a card" 26 year olds! what do they know?! smartass don't know where he gets that from

Anyway i was wanting to learn bach as I know the englishman loves bach but there is no way i can learn that in a matter of a few days, there is a guy in Ireland that makes the best flutes known around, I won't mention his name as I would like input on other makers, so if anyone knows of a good flute maker please feel free to share with me what the name is. Also i wonder if a jade whistle can be made,,,,is that possible?tR
