FT: Thornton high D

Whistle
1

I have a Thornton High D for trade. I can’t sell it - being in Russia I can only send money via paypal, not accept them. But I hope local WhOA-addicts have some nice stuff for trade :slight_smile:


It’s a good whistle. If you want an ideal generation - that’s it. Same 1/2" tube, same hole placement, same sound (but more clean and nice), same air requirements and backpressure. Same sharp Cnat :slight_smile: Ornaments are crisp and clear. Untunable, but perfectly in tune. My problem is that I don’t like generations too much, but if you do - the whistle is for you.

No pictures, sorry - thorntonwhistles.info is down, and I have no camera. Can make some later, though.


What I want to get is described here: WTB](http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=64355%22%3EWTB): have no idea what. I would be happy to get some low A or low G also. I got this whistle for $62 from ebay, so I don’t expect much. I can add some money if needed.


Make your offers :slight_smile:

I thought you could shift the head to tune them.

Mine is untunable. I will check once more tonight, but I’m pretty sure.

I’ve got one that arrived out of tune with a slightly misaligned head (not from the maker - it was 2nd hand). Shifted the head round and out a bit and now it is just fine.

They are tunable. but the heads are easily stuck. Try dipping it in very hot, not boiling, water for second.
