The whistle..that's more of a rough-and-tumble dangerous instrument. And we all know the dangerous guys get all the girls.
why is the whistle forum way more cool than the flute forum

Actually a keyed Bb flute could do some major damage. . . The hardware adds a bit of a "Cat o' Nine Tails" effect in addition to blunt trauma.
unfortunately nobody makes them in Delrin cause it's too heavy to play comfortably. Lack of priorities I suppose. .
A Bass Boehm though.. . . ouch!

Could never get the right sound out of a whistle. Tried and failed. Own about three or four whistles (after buying my fifes). The fife is the instrument for me. Never was there an easier instrument to play. The flute is getting better these days, but the spread and the air is still a challenge.

HAHAHAHA!!mutepointe wrote:hey folks:
what say with mess with the flutist (i'm one too) and all get to together and post on their forum and tell them that we've found that we can hit the fourth octave if we inhale, rather than exhale, through the embrouchure? is anyone else game? does anyone else have a better joke to pull on them?
mutepointe
Actually ... at one point I convinced myself that inhaling through the bottom of my tin whistle would produce the same sound as exhaling through the top D:. There was no outside influence at all, it was a product of sleep deprivation and too much history x____O. Anyway, at that late hour the physics of it seemed to make sense in my mind. I even imagined hearing a sound, HAHA.
I was only able to convince 3 other people to do it after XD.

COOL! I'm pretty new to the whistle (and also it's late here so I don't wanna try it now), how do you do that?bradhurley wrote:Actually I did think of one reason why whistles could be considered cooler than flutes.
You can't do this with a flute (clicking on the link takes you to a very small QuickTime movie, 350 kilobytes)
