JUBILEE INSTRUMENTS whistle. I was curious about it a little while ago.

No offense to the folks over at Jubilee but that thing looks really crude....like a plumber had a bad acid trip.

I liked that whistle...but I can't wait until this one is done

Danny, if you spring by this post...any updates?

[walrii]

I have several of those. They are called "recorders."

[ketida]

So, you're saying the whistle posted on eBay is a Jubilee? or just something like it? Is this a cross between a flute and a whistle? And if so, why?

[Rod Sprague]

Recorders use arcane fingerings to play the chromatic scale. Keys let you have something more straightforward, which is closer to a whistle in that sense. (I can get away with saying that about recorders, I play one!) I play the sax, so I would be able to play this odd thing that got discussed in a past thread, immediately! http://www.strathmann-musicinstruments.de/gbindex.htm

It is the exact whistle that you can buy from Jubilee (Daniel Bingamon)

Is this a cross between a flute and a whistle? And if so, why?

Huh? It's a whistle with keys, just like it says. You can play all the
sharps and flats and naturals without half-holing. It's like playing a
saxaphone, except it sounds like a low whistle.

Jubilee is not the only company out there making keyed whistles. Here's one I always felt would be useful, becuse I've just never picked up half-holing g# for tunes in A

I've never played it, though, so I don't know if keying would be any more of a difficult transition than half-holing.

[Rod Sprague]

I think the reference to it being a cross between a flute and a whistle is in reference to being able to get transverse flute mouthpieces from the same maker that will fit the body and not throw the tuning and fingerings off, so it can be used as a flute, also.

Ah. I knew Tony Dixon did that, but I didn't realize Daniel Bingamon did so also.

Well, my son, mama flute fell in love with papa whistle... And behold, what a fine child it is!

Keyes ar better than half holeing in almost every respect. Faster, more accurate, and easier to play. The Boehm system beats everything. But on the other hand more expensive to. What I like with the tin whistle is it´s simplicity.
