Stynky Tudor

In my early Renaissance Elizabethan Sea Dog days, I attempted playing a wooden recorder and failed miserably. I later gravitated to an inexpensive Clark's tin/penny whistle with a plastic mouth piece, I got discouraged pretty quick, just couldn't make it sound good. Some time later after much encouragement from Braze, I bought a higher quality Tony Dixon tunable pvp plastic whistle. Once I could sort of play one song, I've purchased a collection of aluminum - High D and Lo D whistles. I still can't play worth a damn, but they're fun.

That's awesome Halfpint! What size are you making? I want a print.

That's a brilliant idea, they look amazing!

Noice!

What kind of Con is this? Gaming?

Welcome Bryan to Pyracy Pub!

Thanks for the suggestion, just bought some.

Just a quick review of the Pub's numbers/statistics and who's online, we definitely have a lot of horde of unregistered lurkers that either stop by to gleam a specific piece of information or are regular readers following threads. There are ways to lock this down and force folks to login, but forced participation for the sake of a numbers game runs counter to what we're actually about here.

Personally I think this has happened a lot more than people want to admit/give credit to. For instance I was taught that that the Europeans created (block) printing around 1400, igniting the religious reformation, blah, blah, blah. There was no mention that Asia/China had already been making block prints for more than a thousand years. Semi recently I heard (on NPR I think) an anthropologist theorized that things like our modern ideas of independence, individualism, voting and our system of government can be traced back to concepts already in practice by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. And even went on to blame the French (sailors) for bringing those ideas back to Europe - spurning on the Age of Enlightenment and inciting both the French and American Revolutions. And no, I don't have any citations for this, just my (faulty) recollections of a radio conversation while on the road. Try not to get discouraged, message boards (or at least the Pub) doesn't tend to get rapid Social Media like responses - especially as the days get long and we head into Pirate Event Season. I for one actually appreciate your' inquiries.

Really? You're not going to provide a link - you're going to make me do a search for this? If I understand what you're talking about, it actually sounds kinda cool - in a nerdy noise making way.

Yes

Excellent stuff, thank you for the link!

I'm not a Fartbook person these days, do they have any YouTube links by any chance?

The Cult of the Gorrell Lantern meets every other 5th Thursday, except when there's a full moon.

So pretty...

Welcome Master Wendell to the Pub! If there's anything you be needing help with, just say so and someone (with bossy pants) will likely speak up and offer some direction.

This looks like a fun project! Make sure to keep us posted, let us know the when, where and celebration of it's maiden voyage.

I'll say!

Awesome score! Very nice.

That is beautiful! Did you build it or was it acquired?

Got that right! Needing to use both hands - might make it a bit obvious.

Wonderful! If you be interested in having a crew specific place on the Pub to chat and/or recruit, send me one of those message thingys (technical term) and we'll add your crew to the Pyrate Crews section, https://pyracy.com/forum/13-pyrate-crewes/ . However it be a public space and not so good for making plans that need to be kept secret, but it does give possible recruits a place to lurk and a take a sampling of how you guys interact and communicate before they sign articles.

Or both maybe?

Whoa, those are some frick'n huge dice! You'd need a small barrel or medium cask to roll those puppies. Damn, imagine the work out.
