How low is low? Check out the link below! Man, makes a Low D look like a soprano whistle…

BTW, Brigitte Goldie has recently spent a ton of time adding stuff to the Overton site, including lots of new photos and other cool stuff, check it out!

That would give me carpal shoulder syndrome.

OMG!
I want one.
For a case, you would need the same as for surveying equipment!
Is that a dreadnought ukelele in the photo?
I don’t know if you guys were subscribers when I wrote about Jim Dunn loaning me his Overton Low, Low A. That’s an octave below hte usual Low A whistle. I couldn’t begin to play it. I covered all the holes with black electrical tape to be able to hear the lowest notes. I felt so…so…inadequate.

By the way, according to Brigitte’s description on the page, those big ones are Low G’s!!!
Man, I thought low C’s were low!
I have one of Colin’s Bass G whistles on display at the Shop ('sorry, it’s not for sale…). It’s a real monster.
The only way that I can play it is by putting a long piece of clear aquarium-hose on the mouthpiece to blow into, then I hold the whistle down at my side - kind of like a large saxophone (it looks funny, but it works).
If I try to play it as you would a regular whistle, the mouthpiece comes to about the middle of my nose when my arms are stretched out as far as they will go...
Hmmm. They probably knew long before we did of that super-great-sub-contra-contra bass recorder picture Rich posted a while back and got to feeling a little competitive. 
Are those made by Joe, or Fred? They remind me a bit of those experimental Hoovers…

Remind me again Tom…
What key WAS that Shop Vac you were playing?! 
My uilleann vacuum was a flat pitched low low Eb minor key or something like that!

Those aren’t huge whistles folks! That is one itty bitty guitar!
