Puny Tune


I found the website of the man who created and built the Puny Tune I own.  I thought I would write to him:

Just found your site. I have had a puny tune for quite a while now and just dug
it out of the closet today to get reacquainted with it. I have no rhythm and
cannot carry a tune, but I was able to play this instrument fairly well after
very little practice. This inspired me to purchase a tin whistle several years
ago, and this week I have purchased a Native American flute. I thank you for
bringing an otherwise unattainable accomplishment into my life.

Josef-

Thanks for the note. I'm glad the Puny Tune served you well. Take care of it, as I won't be making any more.

Obviously that wasn't gonna be enough for me, so he wrote back again:

>Just curious, why did you stop?

Got tired of making the same little flute over and over --- something like 15,000 of them.

Around $27.

They actually sound about the same, so it wouldn't be that interesting.
