CP: New! Black Diamond Whistles
They're here! Black Diamond Whistles...the newest whistle line from master whistlesmith Erle Bartlett of Austrailia.
Several years ago Erle exploded on the Irish whistle scene with his remarkable Syn Whistle. Now he has created the next generation of Bartlett innovation.
The Black Diamond is a sleek, responsive whistle with good volume and just the right amount of chiff to create a complex and wonderful traditional tone. The back pressure is perfect...not so much as to be a hard player, but just enough so that the whistle can really be pushed without jumping octaves or getting out of control. Air requirements are moderate to low. It is a wonderful instrument and sure to rise in popularity.
There are some photos and more info here:

- Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)
