I finished a new design for a high E natural whistle a while back, and gave it a try in a little group performance. The Dnat position is a little out, and generally tuning needs a bit of work, but I blame the drill press's wobble. Using the milling machine next time for sure! My goal was to create a sweet whistle with a big, round low octave and a sweet high octave that was tolerable at close range. This was a nice test to see how it mixed with other instruments, and a great set! I think I first heard "Road to Errogie" on a clip MTGuru recorded for a Jerry Freeman whistle...

Great sound and whistle did hold up well with the other instruments.

Thanks folks! I have a new airblade design I will likely add to this that will make the low octave have more presence.
