We will say we knew him long ago, before
fame swept him beyond our reach....

Must give my apologies both to the instrument makers and the writers of the tunes.

I hope you do more of these videos, great comparison
of instruments ( confess I preferred the Overton),
and the playing is very enjoyable. Just more music
would be great, too.

Why'd you remove the video? I was going to watch it later and didn't get the chance!

Hi Doc,

GREAT video, thank you!

I also hope you can do more of these (for example you could try with a Burke composite/Burke aluminum comparison

).

WONDERFUL comparison!

I think this is the kind of things that makes a whistle lover happy.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

I'm the proud owner of that Overton and it's an exceptional whistle. Couldn't be happier with my decision. My thanks to Doc again for the video comparison. This sure is a great way to see and hear instruments for sale, especially if you're on the fence between two or three.

BTW, one comment on the video page said the Overton had a "buzzier" edge (which it did in the video), but in person and in the studio, there's no "buzziness" at all unless it's overblown on the lower notes. Once familiar with the air requirements, it's strong and pure into the third octave. Great sounding whistle. Made in 2003.
