I’d like to ask for help on a piece I’ll be doing in the next issue of the newsletter on the burgeoning whistle-tweaking industry. I want to include a comprehensive listing of who is tweaking what, at what prices. So, you know, Jerry Freeman, Thom Larson, and Cillian O’Briaiainain and any other lesser known tweakers. Ultimately, I want to start a new section on the website, kinda like Expens.html and low.html, that lists the available tweaks. So, I’m asking for people to post here regarding available tweaks. People like Jerry and Thom are welcome to post here regarding what they are making available. You may also post here, and I hope you will, if you know of other tweaks–perhaps by someone who doesn’t post here. I only want to list readily available tweaks that are sold at reasonably high volume, not the occasional tinkering.
Tweaked Shaws:
E, Eb, D - $36.50
C - $39.50
Bb - $54.50
A - $59.50
Tweaked Generations:
G, F - $16.50
Eb, D - $36.50
C, Bb - $37.50
Complete sets (six whistles) - $160.00
(The C is a Waltons, which after tweaking plays and sounds exactly like a Generation. Most Generation C heads are impossible to remove without wrecking.)
How much extra is it to make it sound better than a Genration like, for instance, a tweaked Generation?
PS: edited to ad I got Jerry (down a post) on this bait.
Come to think of it, can one tweak a whiste to make it baited-breathy?
Don’t mention eating escargots. I tried… the parsley bits only mute the whishhlll.
The idea of the tweaked Generations is to make them sound like good Generations, not something different. I won’t go into detail here, but hopefully, you know what I mean.
