Good Bb Whistles?
Size, tone, etc. I've come to quite enjoy my sole Bb whistle. On the main C&F site it lists Bb as a standard key, but I've not noted that many firms that have a current model in that key. (And I'm not noting the exact whistle I'm playing at present so as to not slant the replies one way or another... .)
Any recommendations for good (and great) Bb whistles?

The Generation Bb is a very good whistle. Better if it is worked on a little.

In addition to those mentioned above...the Bb Water Weasel is very nice.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I had an Overton Bb once, and I loved the tone. Absolutely loved it. I didn't like the hard blowing aspect of the upper octave and sold it. I want to buy another and have them dial back the pressure requirement a tad.

I'll agree with the Freeman Tweaked Generation Bb
The Reyburn in Bb is also wonderful.

I haven't played an Overton in Bb - but I haven't met an Overton I didn't like.
Good hunting,
