I won a rosewood Sweetheart in the key of C on Ebay early this week, and it got here today!!!!! :party: I need a jumping up and down with sheer excitement emoticon, I think... anyway, I LOVE it! It has such a warm, rich sound, and I love the beautiful dark color of it. I've never played a "C" whistle before (not that I expected it to be too different), but it seems to have a deeper voice to it...is that because of the key it's in, or the wood?
At any rate, I think I'll end up driving everyone in the house insane today with all the practicing I'm going to be doing ;)

I also have a rosewood Sweetheart in the key of C. It definately has the most "recorder" sound of all of my whistles. I believe this is due to the very wide opening on the fipple. I agree though, it has a great haunting woodsey sound.
Enjoy it!

That's great news , Izzy !! Hope you get a lot of pleasure out of it ! The
"deeper" tone is probably a combination of both the key and the wood. I tend to think of my wooden whistle as more mellow , kinda like a clarinet. The end result is usually about the same. Have a blast !!

Have a Great Day and Fun Whistling !!

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Nothing like getting new whistles to brighten a spring day, is there!!! I am in recent receipt of 3 wooden whistles myself and another Overton on the way, all different keys.

Sweet C

Post by didymus »

I recently got a Sweet whistle in "C" from a fellow board member. I was surprised how much I liked it. I didn't care for the sound of the other "C"'s I had tried... with the exception of a Sindt"C" that thing played like liquid silver. I went to a dulcimer festival Saturday and there was a young lady there playing a sterling silver Copeland "C" in the lunch concert. Afterwards I showed here my whistles and played the Sweet for her. She really liked it and wants to buy one. She plays in historical reenactments and is limited to what she can use by the whistles appearance. I was surprised that she didn't know about C&F, so I gave her the URL, hopefully she'll come to visit.
