Anyone have any experience of the Overton BASS Bb, A or G they’d care to share?
I don’t have any personal experience but a conversation recently revealed that on the Bass A a l o n g arm is required to play. I would guess the Bass G is even more so.
I’ve had my hands on an Overton low Bb (Bb below low D) several times, but, I’m not able to play it. I can cover the bottom three holes easily enough using a pipers grip but the top three are too far apart for my left hand to reach. If hole 1 were a little bit bigger (moving it down the whistle) and hole three were a little bit smaller (moving it up the whiste), I would be able to reach just fine. It does have a nice sound though.
I haven’t played Overtons, but do own a low Bflat and A. My problem isn’t the reach, but the angle required at the wrist (I suspect this is the same thing Steven is talking about). My arms have to be almost straight, meaning that the wrists have to be bent at about 90 degree angles. I can do it, but not for long.
adduction of the wrist of 90°?? now that’s something i’d like to see.. 
Oh, you doctors, never buying anything that’s anatomically impossible! Okay, I just got out my goniometer (I don’t mean that literally, either 
), and it’s more like 30°, but it would be much easier to cover the holes if I could bend the wrist 90, or even 60. The 30 still hurts like hell after a little while.
ok, i’ll buy that. 
So whats a Goniometersounds strange,how many Goni’s in a limp wrist? 
Bass Whistles are cool as Amar 
this is a goniometer:
you use is to measure the angle of a given joint at it’s maximum flexion or extention (or adduction and abduction, respectivly).
hey thanks, you’re a cool babe yersel, stace. 
When I saw this title I immediately thought of a fish calling whistle. If it would only work.
