Seems to me that's a mighty brief whistle?? I'm curious about the
geometry: length of the tube, length of open tube to comp, etc.
Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but I strongly doubt I'll be ramming
whistle mix, unless there is a consensus of the people on this
newsgroup that I respect saying it's OK. I've had no accidents in two
years of this hobby, and all my fingers, eyes, skin, etc. I vote for
keeping it that way!
