saffiterHave been practicing both the tin whistle and the fife this afternoon...am getting dizzy from it. Time to stop now, methinks.
Wheeeee! Headspin.
I can get sound out of the fife most of the time now, but there's a lower octave i didn't actually know about. It's bloody hard to get on the fife i've been practicing on. Now i understand why people who are advertising them go on about "easy to get the low notes!" .....those notes, especially the low d, are EVIL!!!!
In other news, my fife should be arriving some time in the next couple of weeks :-D. I have no idea how easy the notes are going to be to get on that one though. Shall have to iust wait and see how it goes.
Bruises from training are still still coming up. Surprisingly, the collarbone hasn't bruised. The arm's still a painful lump (accidentally put a shoppi.g bag on it this afternoon, didn't i. Owie. I haven't inspected my leg where justin kept hitting me, and the scrape on my arm has gone down.....hand's got a lovely mark on it from jon's crossguard.
Apart from that i have a metric craptonne of marking to do, a week's worth of washing, the house to myself this evening, and the reenactors market tomorrow. Hopefully i can pick up a pair of shoes for the abbey medieval festival in june at the least!
