Hi - I just started an Etsy store selling small, crocheted instrument bags for whistles, recorders, and flutes. Am I allowed to post that in a forum, and if so, which one? Thanks!

Wow! Thanks!

Thanks so much!

n my humble opinion, to get a robust sound in the low register and not have to blow like crazy in the sharp register, I would choose without hesitation the whistles from KUKUBEL (Vasc Country, SPAIN). The price fluctuates around 40€. Great sounding instruments, no questions about it. -KUKUBEL High ...

Thanks, all! I'm thinking seriously about Milligan & Kilarney, & will look up the ones you just mentioned. I appreciate the help! ...and I think I am starting to develop a whistle aquisition problem.

Hello all! Everyone was so generous with their time & knowledge that I decided to ask one more question: Is it possible to get a whistle with a strong/loud lower register without the top of the second octave being extra loud & shrill? PS: I've decided to not buy a new whistle until I know mo...

Thanks!

Just now saw the pictures. Really interesting!

I really appreciate all that info. What do you mean by "sharp bell note?"

Whistles are no different. The top note or two simply fall out of the nominal range for this tube size. You can adjust a bit with your airstream, but there is not the flexibility of a flute embouchure. Yes, but there is a HUGE difference between my Feadog or Oak and this new whistle. The new one is...

My Killarney has the nicest high A and B of any whistle I've tried. It is semi quiet, lowish air requirements, and is balanced between both octaves. $72 shipped to my door. That's what I'm looking for. I'll look more into the Killarney and a couple other whistles mentioned. My biggest problem is I ...

Oak and generation? Try this. http://www.killarneywhistle.com/ I saw that Kilarney whistle online! I almost ordered it! ...should have. I know it would be better than the one I got. Sticking with my Feadog until I find something better. I'll keep looking into all these links, though. I'll write the...

A couple more things... I'll check out those links, and may get to go to Dublin this summer. If so, I can actually TRY out some whistles!!! Where I live, I have to order anything I want to try. Perhaps it's worth a drive someplace that has a selection of whistles...? Also, when I say "technique...

Thanks for all the info! It's obvious I was making some assumptions and not asking all the right questions. I'm a modern, Boehm system flute player, but dabble in Irish and Baroque flute. I found the subscribe button. :-) I also found my Feadog whistle that had been missing for several months. It's ...

Oh... I'm in WV, US. Not much here. I have to order online. Thanks.
