Thank you for the reply. I really wasn't sure which to order, but that is interesting, especially that most whistles don't come with the seventh hole. I would prefer one that plays more softly, and I think you're saying that possibly the one with the extra hole might do that.

I am purchasing a Carbony A whistle, and I'm not sure whether to buy the Leading whistle, or the Mezzo version. I played a little several years ago, and I'm still very new at this. So I don't know that I need the seventh hole. I just wondered if anyone recommends one over the other, overall? Thank y...

Thanks for all the informative replies, everyone. I really appreciate all your input. I think the flute in question is probably an Ebonite.

That's interesting about the smell - when I first got it (about 8 months ago), it did have a pretty strong smell. I guess that was the rubber? Like, would a new Polymer one "not" have a smell?

Does anyone have an M and E Ebonite flute with the threads on the joints, and not the cork joints? I am trying to determine if a particular flute is Ebonite or Polymer, and I used to think that all the Ebonite ones had cork joints. Is there any other good way to know for sure? Thanks in advance!

I just purchased a Chieftain V3 Low D from Hobgoblin at the North Texas Irish Festival on March 6. It was pretty noisy at the festival (live bands playing all around), so it wasn't until I got home that I realized it played much quieter than I would prefer. So I called them about it & they were ...
