Hi guys,
I'd like to introduce our new Oz whistle high D in gidgee.
It's very easy and fun to play and has a beautiful sound. Compared to our Merlin tin whistle it needs far less air and is easier to control.
We love the design with the bronze fittings and the grain of the gidgee wood looks very interesting.
Here a little soundfile we recorded with the smartphone today:
Tell us something.: I like whistles, flutes, lyres, cittern/mandolin/bouzouki family instruments, as well as heavy and nasty slap bass. Languages, linguistics, history (especially Migration Period and Bronze Age Europe), cuisine from various parts of Latin America, chili growing, bushcraft, and the works of JRR Tolkien also tickle my fancy.
Hi
yes, the top notes are very easy to play and sound sweet to me. The whistle doesn't need much air. Did you listen to soundfile, see link we posted?
We are now three here at home son included (age 11) who quarrel about playing the Oz whistle, because it's the easiest and nicest one to play.
Nevertheless it's load enough for sessions, not too quiet at all.

I just noticed it. It does sound shrill in the clip when you go into the second register.

@ Franconian... I love the extra large photos with close up detail. I don't mind scrolling and drooling while looking. I too have Oz whistles and it is the way to go. Here is a glimpse of Spalted Cherrywood D
