Re: Toby Shaer and Kerry Optima
Just an observation ....In the video it looked more like he was playing a V4 not an Optima. There is no mention of a silver head Optima on the Kerry whistles web site.
Whistling in the Rockies!!

Re: Toby Shaer and Kerry Optima
Mr.Nate, He is playing an Optima Low D w/silver head-shell. Phil, won't have his new colors page up until sometime this month(April). In which, you will have a choice of colors when you hit the Checkout button. He sent me an email stating this info. Also, on youtube Phil states Toby is playing an Optima Low D w/silver head-shell. Hope this add's clarity. Mickey PS: From YouTube Video.... "Optima D Toby ShaerMr.Nate wrote:Just an observation ....In the video it looked more like he was playing a V4 not an Optima.

Re: Toby Shaer and Kerry Optima
The silver head Optima will become the new standard according to Phil. Here is a video showcasing some of the new upcoming colors. https://youtu.be/ellAY8TmFNYMr.Nate wrote:Just an observation ....In the video it looked more like he was playing a V4 not an Optima.

Re: Toby Shaer and Kerry Optima
Get a grip. There is no such thing as a silver headed Optima! Red, orange, smoke or whatever color but not silver.

Re: Toby Shaer and Kerry Optima
What do you think he's trying to pull a fast one on us? Seriously, Phil labeled it as an Optima and it is one. I'm sure he has lots of whistles in his office that aren't on his website, but will be in the near future. My last post linked the wrong video. That's what I get for being in a hurry. Here is the same color whistle as Toby is playing https://youtu.be/GhGgtm36_94 If you watched Toby's video you will notice it starts without color and the post processing has blown the highlights. It does make it look metal. As the color comes in it is noticeable that he is playing an Optima.Mr.Nate wrote:Get a grip. There is no such thing as a silver headed Optima!
