CP: Open Whistle Tour
Eric Segret, the maker of the Open Whistles, as mentioned in this thread - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=85405 is graciously making two low D Open Whistles available for us to try. Below are videos of the whistles in action:

KTM - I'm in the states so logistically it's easier this way but you might want to contact Eric about the possibilities of a European tour.

One does not equal two. Not even for very large values of one.

OK, I just thought it strange that he's in France and the tour is in the US - not having considered where you live yourself.

Re: CP: Open Whistle Tour
Hello,
The Open Whistle tour is an idea of "retired". If someone wants to organize an Open Whistle tour in Europe, this is possible.
If you have questions about the Open Whistle, I can answer you.
Good day.

Re: CP: Open Whistle Tour
The 2 Open Whistles have arrived from France and are now on their way to the first member that signed up for the tour. Looking forward to feedback about them.

Re: CP: Open Whistle Tour
Am I missing something, or is this just a shakuhachi by a different name?

Re: CP: Open Whistle Tour
From what I can tell from the photos and description, the sounding mechanism is similar - at least in general concept - to a shakuhachi (or a quena or several of the rim-blown Native American flutes) but the tuning is like a penny/tin/ITM whistle. So it manufacturer provides it with a new name...AvienMael wrote:Am I missing something, or is this just a shakuhachi by a different name?
I expect that, like the instruments above, it should provide some very interesting tones. It will be interesting to see how folks get along with it on some of the dance music.
Best wishes.

Re: CP: Open Whistle Tour
I said that the "open whistle" was a new instrument because there are several differences with quenas and other instruments.
- The notch does not have a bevel. On the open whistle is just a rounding
- How to blowing is different and quena player will have difficulty to get a sound out the first time
- No shrinkage at the end of the instrument (bamboo node)
- No thumb hole
- Aluminum material
All this gives a really different sound !
