I guess that if you can't get what you want you just have to fix it yourself!brewerpaul wrote:Kinda makes you wonder about their inspiration...pancelticpiper wrote: I've played a contrabass flute a couple times . They're made by.... (another girl making huge flutes!)
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

I would say it's somewhere between airy and reedy. I had no idea of this till I got a Burke and played it next to a Water Weasel. Both are somewhat pure of sound, but the Burke is breathier and the WW is chiffier.
I suspect that everyone has a different picture (actually sound clip) in his mind of what chiff is.
Oh, and I wouldn't call recorders, at least not the ones in this house, "pure". Once you get to an alto or tenor recorder, it gets quite chiffy. (Don't worry, I can't play them; my wife does, and she wants one of those sub-contrabass recorders that was discussed a few months ago.)

Re: Time for you whistle makers to man up.
I recorded my workshop basswhistle, made in 2004 on Youtube recently.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eeGLGXxwGs
I wonder if Dr. Seuss where still alive that he might like this basswhistle.
Here are my Low-Low-D's
Here's a basswhistle I made for Cal olson.
Another one:
And here is the first basswhistle made back in 2002, Low-Low-C
Don't that subcontrabass ruffle your feather though, we can't outdone by a R*C*DR!
Sounds like a summer project is in order.

That's just too weird!
Could only happen in France
Hey Dale, maybe a new write-up for psychology manuals, a whole new world a whistle obsessives, size displaces quantity.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

That's it... no more beef for me. I hear a certain Fast-Food store is incorporating it into their next commercial. Parachuting cows into a football stadium while playing the Beef-Pipes.

That is wild. Just when you think you've seen everything...
The Walrus
What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?
The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Re: Time for you whistle makers to man up.
There are two well-known thingies in moscow kremlin - tzar-bell and tzar-cannon. They're the biggest ones of a kind. The bell never rang and the cannon never shot.
Do you really want to make a tzar-whistle?
