So whats the diffrance between a Bloomfield and a walden, I have a stefpat and it has a problem with the second octave

should I get rid of it and get a weekender, or maybe a low downZubivka.

The Dale is way cool but I think the rich is abit suspect.

So cool! I just noticed you're the Alba person. I've got a whistle coming from you. Can't wait! Not to mention you're a pinky user, which makes me feel better about my inseparable middle and ring fingers.

The Bloomfield is a pure drop whistle. That Walden is, I daresay, recorder-y.

The Weekender is the preferred whistle of U.S. troops overseas, and only a Frooonchman would play a Zube Tube.

Although all generally have a fine tone, there is an occasional tendency to squawk and require a lot of air.

Well, the Dale is perfect for playing "Happy Birthday Mr. President"

Yes I agree, but is it the Bloom Buster that has the most back pressure,

and has the clogging problem on the weekender been fixed

Don't say--you might end up blowing a Zoobraphoon before you know...

For the time being, Zoob's much into world moosic. Let's see:
Low C -- Scottish. Big bore but big fun.
Low D -- Breton
Low Eb -- English
Low F -- Australian. Native American, too. My indigenous tone?
Low G -- Breton. This makes two so far. Hmm, does this make me chauvinistic?
Bb -- on its way from America.
C -- Japanese sorta peppermill, plastic, with lotsa extra holes. Came with a nice plastic case and soft cleaning brush, that sold it. One € at a garage sale. Would I spend more on high C? Call it my Xen-on paradox.
D -- Scottish, English, English though 'merkin tweaked. Hmm, two more; with the (modest) Triumph tee-bird I guess it's at least three evidences for being, what? Knnnigggetophile? Anglophiliac?

I've heard that TelegramSam is pretty squawky if handled incorrectly...

O'h I heard the telysam was squawky when just handled

So which whistler would you recomend for a beginer

Don't know how to recommend for a beginner, Stacy, but I hear that the Alba has a distinctive Scottish burr to it.

common sight up yonder in the Highlands? Girls wiggling around in bikinis? Bit chilly last time I was there. Didn't bring one.
