Schultz High G Thin Weasel in Blackwood
Paul asked if anyone had a High G Thin Weasel, so I thought I'd share it with you all.
It's actually my latest whistle purchase, and it's still in the break-in period. I play it a little each day and oil it as necessary. It's turning out to be a real little charmer - I look forward to playing it every day. It's really easy to play even though all my fingers get crowded on the holes that are so close together. This isn't a formal review except to say it's already one of my favorite whistles for playability and plain old fun. There's a sound file and pics so you can review it yourself.
Here's a link to an MP3 so you can hear how the whistle sounds. I play a scale, a tune in the low octave, and a tune mostly in the high octave: http://members.cox.net/tofutaco/ThinWea ... lHighG.mp3
I've posted pics so you can see how it looks. The background should give you a feeling for its size. First pic is next to its big brother (Soprano D in Blackwood). The rest show detail.
Cheers!

It's my opinion - highly regarded (and sometimes not) by me. Peace y'all.

Glenn could not find brass tubing in the right size for tuning slides for the high G whistles, so he MADE it himself from stainless steel. It's amazingly thin, yet still strong. Glenn once boasted to me that he could do anything on a lathe. I believed him then and I believe him now.Congratulations wrote:Interesting. The fittings are different than on most of Mr. Schultz's instruments. I wonder if this is because the whistle is small, or if he started using different fittings at some point...

Well, y'all got me wonderin' -- how is the sound? Do wither of y'all have a Gen high-G to compare it to? Also in terms of finger spacing. My fingers touch when playing the Gen, and if it's even a tiny bit closer I wouldn't be able to play it.

Haha!
Y'all crack me up.
I don't mean to start a stampede, but Bree (Glenn Schultz's daughter) told me about two weeks ago there was one left after she shipped mine out.
