I got my whistle set for the GFM whistle tour today, and I am supposed to review it so i figured what better place than post it here

. Anyways like the last review said, it comes with two bodies that fit onto the one mouth piece, a soprano D and a mezzo G body. The first part i should review is the mouth piece. I really like it's design, and i tried playing the whistle cold and it only clogged after about 15 minutes of playing, it seems to clear the spit out of the window (possibly due to the curved blade?) since there was a good amount of spit build up there (sorry for the gory details

). After letting the mouthpiece warm up in my hands for a while i put it on the D body and tried playing. After a couple of hours this is what i found. The whistle is LOUD, very loud. Much louder than any whistles i have (inluding a susato D). The whistle has a fair amount of breathiness both in the first octave and even more in the second (my feadog has a little less breathiness in the second octave than this whistle). The second octave is quite a bit louder than the first octave, but this is do to how much you really have to lean into the whistle to get the tone out of it. But i could see that this whistle would be great for really loud sessions where you wouldn't mind leaning into it a lot because that's where the whistle comes into it's own. The hole spacing on this whistle is interesting my 3rd and 4th fingers touch when covering the holes, and the rest are about equally spaced. This is due to the wide diameter of the whistle (my Bflat Generation easily fits inside the D body tube). Overall i like the D body, if i didn't live in an apartment i would probably have played it more but it is really loud and my neighbors like to call the police at random

But where i think the whistle really nails it is with the mezzo G body. The sound that comes out of that thing is totally different. Almost pure tonality with a bit of breathieness but only in the second octave. The sound is mellow and a LOT quieter than the D whistle. I would compare the volume to my Generation Bflat of being almost equal. The hole spacing just feels right to me, not too short of a distance but not to long to stretch (and i have average to small hands). But the sound is amazing that comes out of this whistle, absolutely love it. The only thing that i would have really liked, would be some tick marks, or some sort of marking on the tube where the mouthpiece fits on to have an idea where "in tune" is about close to, whereas now when you change bodies you have to try and adjust the head to be in tune without any form of reference. But that's not a really big problem. Umm i think i have covered everything, if i have left anything out, let me know and i'll try to answer any questions. Overall, great whistle, especially if other bodies come out that attach to the same mouthpiece.
