Re: Bracker chromatic vs modal

Darned if I know. It would be best if you contacted the seller and asked him.

Re: Bracker chromatic vs modal

I called it a whistle rather than a recorder because the left thumb hole is for the Bb, not to get to the higher octave like a recorder.

Re: Bracker chromatic vs modal

If you want a chromatic whistle, try Musiquemorneau.com , he has them. Expensive, but excellent. Also go to eBay and look up a Ukrainian "sopilka chromatic prima soprano concert recorder #6" (actually a whistle) .Sold by volkovroman75. They're nice, too and a lot more reasonable in price.

Re: Sweetheart Flutes

So far as I know, Joe has taken over Mr. Sweet's business, and he is working on changing the name, etc. Joe has worked for Mr. Sweet for some time, and I would imagine that Mr. Sweet has retired - since he's well along in years. Until all these things are changed, the Sweetheart website will remain ...

Re: Who made this?

I give up. I'm old and understand fountain pens and my watch still has to be wound up. Electronics are beyond me.

Peter, If you be so kind, please send me an email address. I know how to send pics that way. Then, maybe you could post it for me.

Thanks,
