Revisions to: The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle
Starting with the April 2011 printing, copies of the book The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle differ in small ways from copies printed earlier.

- Replacement copies of the book are not being offered.
- The pagination of the book has not changed.
You may download free PDF files of all the pages that underwent changes in the April 2011 printing.

- Look on the first page.
- Below the Mel Bay logo, you will see a series of numbers.
If you see:
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 (starting with 3)
you already have one of the new copies (April 2011 revision or later).

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
or
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
