In this thread I would like to ask you for some advice on which whistle I should buy next. I'm pretty new to whistling an up to now I own three inexpensive whistles. A clarke, a genereration and a clare. Those are all high D's. I preferred the most.
I would like to buy a new whistle that is a bit more expensive but not too much. There seems to be a quite large gap between the inxpensives en the expensives. As far as I know, there is mostly tony dixon's whistles and the susato whistles in between and I've read good stories about both.
In another thread someone (Guido) said that
He also said that dixons are on the quiet side and is easy to switch the octaves. This would make the susato on the loud side and harder to switch octaves. Am I right? And what about the sound characteristics?You may think of Dixons as the opposite of Susatos.
Could anyone give me some advice on which whistle (brand/type) to buy next? It should be tunable (either originally or by tweak) because I would eventually like to play it in my band. I know that the choice will be highly personal but I would love to have some input anyway.
