Man, all I can say is that I envy you. The condensation on my Goldie D totally kills the bell note. I have to soak the thing in SLS every time I play in order to make the problem MOSTLY go away...and it still doesn't go away entirely.Oisincooke wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:27 pmI must have tried close to a hundred whistles over the years, from different makers and in different keys. Whilst there are some that clog worse when cold or might need blowing out a bit harder than some others, I still have never had a serious problem with it. These days I only play Oz high whistles, and Goldies for anything below C. I even play mostly hard or medium hard blowers, which I’ve heard people complain about more.Cyberknight wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:13 pmCould be the type of whistle you're using. Some of my whistles clog, and some of them don't. Unfortunately, Goldie whistles (my favorite) seem to clog the worst.Oisincooke wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 3:56 pm As often as this topic comes up it honestly baffles me every time.
Once I’ve got a whistle warmed up, I almost never have any issues with clogging at all. Cover the windway, couple strong breaths trough the whistle to warm it up, and then you’re away. Maybe it’s to do with my style of blowing, but it’s never something I’ve come up against at all.
I've tried a lot of things to fix this more permanently. Nothing has worked.
