Re: Nightingale whistles
Just wondering, I assume the prices listed do not include shipping, right? Do you have a sense of what that would be to the US, or to continental Europe for that matter? I don't know much about the Russian postal system... And count me in as someone very interested in trying a whistle out on a US t...

Re: Nightingale whistles

M Hi Mickey! Sure! I'm old forum member and certainly i know about this old-good tradition ;) I defi...

Re: Generation Bb vs Dixon Trad Alto Bb
Do the modern Gen whistles come with the head glued on? Just wondering. Yes....at least the last two Bb's I bought did ! I tried really hot water to loosen the Heads but no luck. I didn't want to ruin the heads so I gave up on them(Bb's Brass). All the other Generation whistles can be made tuneable...
