Re: cp: MULTIPLE VERY RARE ITEMS
I don't think any Generation Eb whistle could honestly be described as "antique", could it ?

Re: cp: MULTIPLE VERY RARE ITEMS
Who did work on the other vintage Generations and what was done to them to 'improve' them?

Re: cp: MULTIPLE VERY RARE ITEMS
I did. Nothing out of the standard common tweaks. Some slight re-voicing and tuning.Mr.Gumby wrote:Who did work on the other vintage Generations and what was done to them to 'improve' them?

OK, thanks.
Not sure what that means though.

There are quite well known whistle tweaks. The tweaks featured on the whistles are all "common" re-voicing techniques. There's a forum posting on here regarding a number of them, as well as numerous articles on-line from whistle makers.

To me, revoicing implies irreversible physical modification (e.g. recutting of windway exits or blades), so a 'pig in a poke' unless I know exactly what's been done by who.Zeildritch wrote:The tweaks featured on the whistles are all "common" re-voicing techniques.

Re: cp: MULTIPLE VERY RARE ITEMS
Obviously there is physical modification. Feel free to purchase them to give an actual informed review.
