Re: First Bb Whistle

This Bb probably isn't a good one but I simply don't have the ear to know better at this point. I have no idea of the vintage but it definitely needed some maintenance. That being said, I have more than gotten my $6.00 worth out of this whistle. I would love to play a good one some day for comparison.pancelticpiper wrote:As I've mentioned I've played hundreds of Bb Generations over the last 40+ years and never found that magical great one to buy.
Yes other players have had fantastic ones but they were absolutely NFS.
Until I got a Jerry Freeman Generation Bb which is amazing.
So with Generations, perhaps especially vintage Generations, you never know, and by tremendous luck you could end up with a world-class Bb whistle, one that will outplay any Bb at any price.
I just picked up a box of around 30 old Generations in various keys for $30. Who knows what might be in there?
Nice score on the whistle box btw
