Guido GG Whistle Clips and Review

MTGuru · Post by **MTGuru** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 2:19 am

As promised, here are (3) sound clips of the Guido GG whistles now on tour in the US.

I hope to add a few more clips and comments tomorrow.

Lovely clips, MTG, beautiful playing, and super sounds and obvious responsiveness from Guido's whistles - sound a lot better than many more expensive toots! Also sound very "woody", but I'd expect that from my own experience when reviewing his low D a while back and from my own conduit tube Dave Lymm whistle....... I'd venture to say that all the "high end" metal whistles could be completely kicked into touch by the GG: only really good wooden ones rival this sound/playability. I'm looking forward to your review.

*That*'s what I call "good playing"... Thanks a lot!

Wow! Great playing, and great sounding whistles. Oh -- and, if you have a chance to post a clip of the Low D, MTGuru, I'll be especially interested to hear that too.

I'm really looking forward to trying these out.

No, that's not possible. It sounds as if those recordings were played by a machine!! lol
Excellent playing, MTGuru.

I'd be very interested in hearing a low G/F, if someone has one of those...

Cheers,
Martin

I haven't made new-style Alto G/F whistles yet. But this will be a rainy weekend...

Here's a link to my now "old" Low D review, which includes sound samples, MusicalADD. Take those with a pinch of salt, however, as I believe Guido has modified the design since then, I am sure for the better.

Nice clips, MTGuru!

Thanks, all. Of course, the point here is to demo the whistles. I'm trying to pick tunes and settings that exercise them in ways that would be interesting to me for evaluating them from sound clips.

Unfortunately, I won't be recording the low D. I'm not much of a low whistler, and don't consider myself competent. I'm glad that Jem's review and clips fill the gap.

More to follow ...

Taylors Twist!

Thats so close to my version.

Where my version is the thing you float leaves and icecream sticks down and yours is the mighty Amazon.

I'll study this.

I have! I followed some of your suggestions, especially the fipple shape and length. As you predicted, there was a great improvement. Also, I decided to reduce the space between the bottom two holes.

The fipple trick was crucial, and I gave you credit on my how-to page. Thanks again!
