Guido GG Whistle Clips and Review
As promised, here are (3) sound clips of the Guido GG whistles now on tour in the US.
I hope to add a few more clips and comments tomorrow.

Lovely clips, MTG, beautiful playing, and super sounds and obvious responsiveness from Guido's whistles - sound a lot better than many more expensive toots! Also sound very "woody", but I'd expect that from my own experience when reviewing his low D a while back and from my own conduit tube Dave Lymm whistle....... I'd venture to say that all the "high end" metal whistles could be completely kicked into touch by the GG: only really good wooden ones rival this sound/playability. I'm looking forward to your review.
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Here's a link to my now "old" Low D review, which includes sound samples, MusicalADD. Take those with a pinch of salt, however, as I believe Guido has modified the design since then, I am sure for the better.

Thanks, all. Of course, the point here is to demo the whistles. I'm trying to pick tunes and settings that exercise them in ways that would be interesting to me for evaluating them from sound clips.
Unfortunately, I won't be recording the low D. I'm not much of a low whistler, and don't consider myself competent. I'm glad that Jem's review and clips fill the gap.

I have! I followed some of your suggestions, especially the fipple shape and length. As you predicted, there was a great improvement. Also, I decided to reduce the space between the bottom two holes.jemtheflute wrote:Here's a link to my now "old" Low D review, which includes sound samples, MusicalADD.

The fipple trick was crucial, and I gave you credit on my how-to page. Thanks again!
