I play low whistle and I’m considering getting an Overton. However, I’m rather taken with the idea of the EXTREMELY low whistle (baritone and bass baritone). Has anyone tried any of these (the low C down to the Low A)? How is the finger stretch and tone? Do they play well in the higher octaves? Would I be better of climbing on my roof and blowing down my drainpipe? I’d appreciate your opinions.
Hi Phil, I have an Overton baritone (bass?)Low A and the stretch on it is fairly long, definitely requiring me to use my little finger to cover the sixth hole. The first octave plays fairly well and the second octave requires quite a bit of pressure which I think is standard on all Overtons. I find I don’t play it often and so would like to sell it. If you’re interested contact me on my private e-mail at reyburnwhistles@hotmail.com
