Re: New Stainless Steel High E with Mountain top and Eagle Engraving

Why not channel your enthusiasm for these whistles by talking about your own experiences with say, your two E whistles and post some clips of your own playing. Just repeatedly posting the maker's videos and links just makes it look like you are performing a covert marketing exercise. It's not like ...

Re: New Stainless Steel High E with Mountain top and Eagle Engraving

Looks very interesting, especially the part about it being made of stainless steel, which is not yet common for whistles. Durability, easy-clean, precision-crafted. Keep posting updates on new quality whistles! Hermit Hill makes excellent whistles. I see good times ahead for musicians with good ins...

Re: New Stainless Steel High E with Mountain top and Eagle Engraving

I’m posting because this what I choose to post! I post these whistles because I feel they need to be seen by people interested in whistles. I don’t get anything from the maker to post this. I don’t even think he knows. Thanks for you comment!

Re: Photos of your collection!

Received this Hermit Hill Folk Instruments 'Delrin Tunable High-D’ a few days ago. Alex DeWilde does such excellent work that it needs to be seen. There is a sound bite at his website. https://i.ibb.co/ZJycYC5/a-P1070437.jpg https://i.ibb.co/RPRfkGy/b-P1070438.jpg https://i.ibb.co/J7Pcd6j/c-P107043...

Re: High Eb stainless whistle new “foot joint “ design

Here is a quote from the maker: It’s new style foot joint area on them. It used to be that what I call the "bell" note, which is a bagpiper's term that usually refers to the lowest note on the chanter (ie your bottom/end note on the whistle, in this case Eb), usually had a tendency to be a...

Re: Alex DeWilde custom stainless steel high C

Also stainless steel doesn’t make my fingers smell like when I touch brass. Also stainless is so nice to look at. Another thing is stainless is very hard so tonal wise it will sound different than thin wall brass. These whistles have thick walls.

Re: Hermit Hill Custom Stainless Steel Whistle

To me the tone is very pure. I compared it to my other whistle and there’s a big difference. The tone is very round also.
