... ago, from Macaris Music Shop in Denmark Street, London. It is made from Aluminium and not tunable. It has a great tone. I did wonder if it was an Overton, but the head profile is not square.

Hi all, I have a gorgeous low D fixed whistle stamped Overton. It's a medium blower, perfectly in tune and with an amazing rich and edgy tone. I'm just not playing it very often and am funding other whistles so sadly need to let this one go. I'm asking ...

... volume of the first octave. Curious to see if this worked, I tried it out. I'm flabbergasted. While this doesn't do anything to the volume of my Overton-style whistles, it has a dramatic effect on most of my other whistles, particularly those with curved windways. The most dramatic effect was ...

... 18.5mm, and 19mm bores. (I wonder whether Colin's batches of tubing have varied a bit, or people are measuring slightly differently.) And I have Overton and Goldie low whistles in E, D, and C measured between 21.5mm and 21.9mm. Alba, using that smaller 18.5mm tubing for her Low E, has come up ...

I could modify the metal whistle, like Overton, to be condensate free. But this is very - very strange idea ;-) :o Well then, my dreams of having a perfect whistle just might be possible haha. High whistles with plastic heads, once they came ...

But this is very - very strange idea ;-) The simplest thing you can do is a small heater (resistor) and a battery. It ...

Bump!

... perform, earlier this week, in a small town near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. One of the selections had Kevin and 2 of his band-mates play 3 Goldie-Overton low D's at a simply astounding tempo. I listened carefully, and heard none of the raspy, metallic sound that you describe, but I am very familiar ...

... 'screechy') overtone that's hard to shed. If I start the notes with a soft blow then increase the pressure of the blow I can kind of out-blow the Overtones, but I have to be very deliberate with this, and when I'm playing a tune I almost always get this scrapy sound on those two low notes.
