Jerry's tweaked generation and feadog
Jerry's tweaked generation and feadog
Hello everyone.
I have a question about JF tweaked generation and feadog. My question is why does the JF tweaked generation (D) cost more than the tweaked feadog (D)? is this because a lot more work has been done on the generations? The JF generation in D cost almost double of what a tweaked feadog is. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thank you

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Recently, I've been able to refine the tweaking scheme for the tweaked Feadog, btw. I'm quite happy with this whistle, and I think it's a good bargain at $US18.50 suggested retail. I have some in stock, if you would like to get one from me directly.
In general, I prefer a tweaked Mellow Dog over a tweaked Generation (or tweaked Sweetone or tweaked Feadog), if you're looking for a whistle in D or C. I can provide an additional, C tube with a tweaked Mellow Dog for an additional $5.00. Or, I can send a key of C tweaked Mellow Dog for the same price ($36.50) as the D Mellow Dog.
But, as I said, the tweaked Feadogs are turning out nicely, and I think most people would find them very pleasing. The main difference is, a tweaked Feadog is more "reedy" sounding (complex) and a tweaked Mellow Dog is more "pure/sweet" sounding.
Best wishes,
Jerry

There are several tunes in Clips and Snips that were done on Freeman tweaked whistles.

That's a portrait of Ralph the Second, one of the founding lights of the Global Pennywhistle Tweaking Research and Production Consortium (GPTR&PC). We owe him so much.swizzlestick wrote:Ha! I had trouble at first too and thought it was just me. But now that I know what it should be, the mouse just pops out. (The mouse is facing right.)
It might help to know that Jerry uses a mouse logo on his whistles.
Best wishes,
Jerry
OOOhh, I see it now.Cool. I thought the ear of the mouse was the eye of a whale, and the back of the mouse was the nose of the whale, and he is swimming in the sunset.swizzlestick wrote:Ha!

I see the whale and the mouse, but no duck. Unless that is a ducks foot the mouse is sitting on. All in all it is very colorful and interesting.Jerry Freeman wrote:It's a multipurpose avatar.
Some people see a mouse, some see a whale, some see a duck.
