Bah.. I need to change my vote. I've sold a metric buttload of whistles over the last couple of years, and I thought I had 5-10 left. I've got 20..bah. That's got to be a sign of some kind of whistle denial

10-15 but a good half of them are mediocre brass generations. I suppose they'd be okay if I could be bothered to tweak them, but I'm lazy.

What is it with you and Bflats? The Thin Weasel Bflat I got from you is simply incredible! And Bflat is not one of my favorite keys. Not that I'm complaining or anything . . .PhilO wrote:Alas Glauber, Bloomfield I already have a specific individual who's getting the Grinter F. But I'd be willing to talk trade re the Grinter Bflat...

- Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

Over 50 right now, none sold yet but quite a few given away. I have whistles in all the standard keys so, high and low Ds apart, I really only have a few in each key. I like both cheapies and expensive whistles but aside from Generations and Susatos don't have many cheapies. I'm especially fond of Overton, Copeland lows, Burke, Sindt, Abell, Grinter and Busman. I also have about seven flutes.
If you think that's excessive you should see my guitar, bass and mandolin family collection.

Charlie, glad you're enjoying the Thin Weasel. I actually love Bflat, and have a Copeland, an Abell blackwood, a Silkstone PVC, a Water Weasel, and a Grinter Bflat. I would not part with the Copeland, Abell or Water Weasel (I repeat, best bang for the buck in whistledom).
Best,
Philo

I always pick-up a spare Clarke original or Meg to have at the house. Everytime someone (like my cousin last weekend) comes over and baffles at all the strange tubes I've got in my rack, I play them a couple of tunes, hand them a whistle and a fingering chart with the C&F web address and promise them instant salvation for joining the cult!Hils wrote:I have about 10 whistles left I keep giving them away to whistle-less people.

Water Weasels ARE the best bang for the buck!! Besides my Thin Weasel A, the Water Weasel D is the loudest whistle I own.PhilO wrote:Charlie, glad you're enjoying the Thin Weasel.
