Wrestling if time to sell Boisvert

Yeah I have had this Boisvert/Greenwood Pipes D in blackwood for some time. Thought I would never part with it. It was always my favorite but a lot of things have changed and it is not getting played much at all. So I am wrestling with the idea of whether or not it is time to sell. If I do decide to...

Re: Smallest Playable Whistle

For me there’s the high whistles I have and the high whistles I use. This highest I have is a Susato F - I think I have only used it twice at most and then only when I needed to cut through a loud mix of instruments playing in F or Bb which is rare. I have 2 E whistles - Humphrey brass and Dixon alu...

Re: MK Pro Finish? Vs Polished Vs Carbony

Got a Carbony low F last winter. No issues with warm up intonation unlike trumpet, sax and flute which I also play. Love this whistle and always hoping for opportunities to use it my worship band. Also because it is conical bore the finger spacing is do-able for me.

Re: Carbony Leading vs.Mezzo?

I purchased a Carbony Mezzo A this year and love it. In fact I have been accumulating more of these in various keys. I don’t know if it will meet your requirement for a “soft” whistle. I got mine to play in a loud environment but it can also be played softly as well. It’s something I really enjoy ab...

Re: Recommend whistle in C with 'pure' tone?

I just ordered a set of E/Eb from Gary Humphrey. I have one of his in B that I started to find use for and with help from C&F was able to identify as one of his. It is light weight and has the "pure" sound I like. I noticed he replied here and I knew that had just gone full time to whi...
