Sounds like you're a natural bass player, Paul!

Well I think we've hit upon the perfect way to get people to pack up and leave :-)

Only in my garden so far. I like twiddling about making up ditties. What I will say is that the merlin goes out of tune at the drop of a hat as the weather changes. I suspect it would be better if the wood was sealed but it's not a big deal really.

I've started learning to play a Seagull merlin but have yet to terrorise any wildlife with it. Other than the seagull and merlin.

It's probably absorbed moisture, like you say. What I do with mine is soak the end of the haft in linseed oil to replace the water with something that won't evaporate.

I thought this was going to be about having an innie belly button!

Here on the (apple) farm the pruners use electric secateurs which tackle pretty thick branches beyond what normal secateurs could manage. They are very expensive though.

Congratulations on your transition :)

It didn't last past this evening! But yes it'll turn fizzy after a few days and eventually become alcoholic then turn to vinegar without a proper air trap.
