Guess what that Whistle is...

Not a Susato, Clarke, O’Brien. Don’t think it’s a Generation. Doesn’t sound “raspy” enough to be a Feadog. Doesn’t sound like a Mellow D or a Little Black whistle to me.

I’m guessing Clare.

I would guess wood, also, or possibly plastic/polymer/delrin, but wood would be my first guess.

Best wishes,
Jerry

I would say Sweetheart but I think there is too much chiff. I also will go with wood. Could be an Alba also. Too complex to brass and not pure enough to be Delrin. Could be a Shaw or Clarke original. This is a tough one.

I played along with my Jerry-tweaked Shaw, and it sounded very close to
me. So, that’s what I’m going with.

Is it a Clare???

Sounds a lot like my Clarke Original.

I’ll post the answer sunday, provided no one guesses it sooner (and no one has) :slight_smile:

Water Weasel?

:confused:

Is it an ACORN?

Jk original Delrin?

Jim

I’ll put my bid in with a Sweetone. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sunday’s here and nobody’s got it…

It’s an early McHaffie, circa 1999.

Darn!!!

I knew that.

I thought to myself, “That sounds just like an early McHaffie, circa 1999.”

But I thought, “Naah. It’s too obscure. Nobody would post something that unusual,” So I didn’t say anything.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Yeah, that’s pretty obscure. McHaffie doesn’t even have a website anymore.
(I assume http://www.mcwhistles.com was the website… it appears broken.)

He’s sorting out some health issues. I wish him well and hope he’s back in action before long.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Ah, OK.
Well, at least I know what they sound like now.

Not a chance that I would have ever guessed that, I didn’t even know this whistle maker.

Here another go, but this time this should be a simple and obvious one to guess:

Yon Sally Gardens again, in Bb: http://web.295.ca/jazzcats/YonSallyB1.wma

Roger

I’ll make the obvious guess, then, and say Generation.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Bravo… :party: this was indeed an easy one, first guess, bang on…

I guess the Generations really do have that distinctive sound.

In complet honesty (to use ShadowBG625s opening…I didn’t have a clue…but enjoyed the excercise anyway…Les.
