Your comments are of interest. Thinking of buying one?

You’re thinking of buying one, or you have one to sell and want comments from people who are thinking of buying one?

I play a Copeland low F. It’s spectacular, but not easy to control. Breath requirement moderate, much better than Shaw, slightly better than my cane F, about the same as Susato, lower than Dixon. Strong chiff. Lots of midrange partials, rich as all getout and obviously metallic. Fingerspacing just manageable for my small hands. Good heft - would make a great weapon – oops, that’s a different thread.

B sharp, C?

I think control improves with
time.

Yeah, I guess I don’t play it often enough. Plus I’m always switching back and forth between higher pitched whistles, and there’s usually a warmup reorientation period where I have to adjust to the changing requirements.

Due to creaky elbows the only
whistles I can play now are
low Ds, so I’m playing them
lots, especially my copeland.
Well, it really does open up…
