Chiff and Fipple Forums

My apologies if this has been asked before, but the search engine brought up every time that a person posted 'case', which, just in 'case' anyone was wondering - it's used rather regularly. Anywho... Can anyone recommend a good solid whistle case? Preferably with multiple slots... I received a Sweet...

Thanks I'm still only up to the first part, still trying to get the 'feel'.

Here's a vid from today (Sweetheart Rosewood D arrived today!!!)

Played on a SYN D. As a side note, my Sweetheart Rosewood D has cleared out of customs and I should have it by Wednesday

Cheers,

Sorry to resurrect an old post - but a big thanks for this

Just thought I'd share a quick clip of my attempt at a simplified version of The Immigrant. So this is me, one week into whistles, played on a SYN C.

Feedback is appreciated.

I ended up playing for nearly three hours yesterday. This is somewhat addictive.

The SYN's should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday - after that, I'll try the tweaks on the Gen.

All an all though - I'm starting to like my $13 whistle It will always be 'my first' lol

I picked up a Generation D yesterday. They seem a little 'tacky' I guess (for lack of better words) - but I guess you can't expect much 'craftsmanship' for $13. I've read about removing the fipple, lightly sanding the extra bits of plastic out, and filling a section of it with wax. Is this worth doi...

The instrument that calls you - that is one you should seek and learn to play. Said very well. Thank you. After listening to many more whistles, I think a High D is for me (perhaps more in line with the types of music that I enjoy). I have just placed an order for a Sweetheart Rosewood High D Whist...

Thanks for the replies

Does anyone know if the Syn D/C/Eb sets on Mitch's website are readily available? Or is there a waiting time associated with these too?

Also - I've read a few reviews on the Syns and they generally seem very good. Thoughts?

If a Fred Rose is in your ballpark, you might also consider an Oz. Ok. So it seems I have an addiction here - without ever having my first fix? The Oz's are beautiful - and I love the fact that they're made here in Australia. I have emailed Mitch to enquire as to what his current waiting times are ...

I don't think you'd regret getting a Goldie high D. I'd also recommend Fred Rose. Both excellent whistles with a concentrated, not breathy sound. Another excellent whistle I have some experience with is the Ormiston high D - breathier and requires more playing into tune than the other two, but a gr...

Many thanks for all advice given. Food for thought.

Does anyone know what The Fureys play?

Can anyone recommend any decent High D whistles? (purchase well, purchase once)

Cheers,
Aaron.

Hello, This is my first post on this forum. My name's Aaron, and I live in Australia :) I was born here in this fine country, but my heritage is Irish. At the age of 24, I've decided I'd like to learn how to play the whistle. I've had a listen to quite a few online. I like the sound of the sweethear...
