Little Black Generation

The ultimate tweak for a sad Generation D. My Generation was so bad that it was unplayable. I bought a Little Black Whistle fipple from the Whistle Shop and after a layer of teflon tape to seal the head..The perfect sounding Generation. clear tone,a bit of chiff,low wind requirement.2 plus octaves,and not bad looking,rathe like a Oak.

Stick that LBW fipple on a Feadog, Oak or Acorn tube and you'll really have a great inexpensive whistle.
All three of those are more in tune than a Generation tube, and the two-finger C natural is better too.
Don't forget to do the Sticky-Tack tweak... it really is quite an improvement.

Raindog,
Thanks for encouraging the sticky tack tweek on the LBFeadog. After putting the LB head on my Feadog, the upper octave still sounded so gargly, I gave up. This sticky tack tweek totally fixed the problem!

I love my hybred Genreation D and Walton Little Black D fipple! As lose to perfect as a cheap whistle gets, don't forget the teflon plumbers tape, though!
