    Need very quickly a good whistler to record a 10 sec melody, will pay, must record it and send me AIF.

    Would there be by any chance a good whistle sample lib?

    Thanks in advance.

    Whistler?

    You mean his mother?

    yeah, I've got a copy.

    No, no, now \\I realize what you mean!

    you mean that excellent b-movie series made in the 40s.

    The Whistler. Directed by William Castle etc. Voice of the Whistler. The Whistler Returns, etc.. O.K. i can get you a copy of one of those, but it won't be cheap.

    by the way, the Whistler theme was, as I remember it (please correct me if you can) :

    g-c-d-g-eflat-c-aflat-c-d-g

    i just realized that's wrong, but don't have a copy of the first film immediately available to check it. Can anyone remember the correct theme?

    Em, you drunk?

    No, it's just that very few people know of those films today. And the theme was whistled, with the melody I noted, which was what made me think of it.

    William, it's great to have you back on the forum. I, for one, really missed you. [:D]

    Ok William, but I just didn't want this thread to be TOO distracted by other topics, since I was desperately looking for a whistler to be used in a commercial. Nothing personal, hope you understand.

    Bill, my friend,

    How could you forget that ultra cult film classic....'Whistler meets Lassie.'

    Again.

    And again.

    And again........

    Trivial:

    What classical composer used a person whistling in his symphony?

    See if you get that!

    No idea, but here is another solo instrument I miss every day in the VSL library, "Old School Hand Farting"

    That's funny, but what about that Sam Kinison? [[[:D]]] [[[:D]]] [[[:D]]]

    Check out also Cage 4'33'', I thought the second mov dragged a bit...
