Whistle #15

 

Number: #15

Key: High D

Date completed: November 2023

Type: Tunable brass whistle with white plastic headpiece

Volume: It is slightly louder than many MackBeths due to the larger window and its best uses would be for session, solo performance, or standard practice.

Status: Listed for online sale via the Sheepshape Crafts website: $110 including US shipping.

Additional details: This whistle has a small backpressure feeling in the second octave. It has low air requirements so good breath control is important. The best C natural fingering is OXXXOX followed by OXXOOO as a second choice. It is a little less prone to condensation clogging in colder areas due to having a plastic headpiece.
