I recently made a trade, with Kar, for a wooden whistle. It has a strong, clear tone. Here is a clip I made of it.

A couple of people have asked me what whistle it was, so I thought I’d post to say that it’s one of the Adler whistles formerly marketed by Lark in the Morning.

The same as the one pictured,
but without a logo.

the wood sounds good :wink:

Ah, Walden – down the slippery slope of wooden whistles. Today, an Adler, tomorrow a Busman, maybe eventually a Grinter and a Thin Weasel. There’s nothing else like them.

Just ordered a Grinter F. Listen to Lunasa or Paddy Keenan and you’ll understand why.

No wonder in a previous thread someone said Adlers looked like recorders.

The Adler I tried looked like those in this link:

Thanks Tuaz! This new series of Adler do look totally different ideed!

BTW, I’ve looked to the links, and finally foud an identification of the key : D it is…

urmm…I thinks I want one :smiley:

ok whatdoes it say my German is nonexistant.

I have some misgivings about their playability after 2nd octve G. Search for a recent post by me.

Aren’t the rotten Weltmeisters made by Adler??

Yes. The ones that Zoob posted pictures of are the Weltmeisters, and the one I was playing is the Classic model. Both are available from Hobgoblin.

Ralph Sweet offers an improved Adler Classic at his site for US$50.

My German is pretty non-existant as well, but I see these whistles have ‘chiffig’- Hmm..‘Chiffig und Fippeln’ sounds suitably Teutonic for a German whistle obsessives’ website! :laughing:

I haven’t tried the Weltmeister, but this whistle will play well at least up to third octave G, with little difficulty.

They’re also selling the painted-over flawed Adler recorders under the name Weltmeister (which basically means “world champ”). See the link below.
