I've fallen in love with a whistle!!

I just recently purchased a Burke brass Bb whistle and I love the thing. My hands are too small to play low whistles but I manage the Bb fine and it has that deep flutey sound that I just love. No matter how many whistles I buy I keep falling in love with another. Fickle, ain’t I? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I’m the same way with my brass Feadog in C. I just love the sound. But I gave my whistles a rest as I’ve now fallen in love with the quena…and the bansuri.

As I said in the ‘Which Burke to Buy?’ thread you can’t go wrong with one of his Bbs, glad to see you followed my advice. :wink: Seriously though the Burke Brass Bb is a real winner and I am sure you will enjoy that whistle for years to come; I know I’ve enjoyed mine for quite some time.

It seems like I fall in love with every whistle I own after I get used to it. My low D is still my favorite though, after the initial infatuation ends with another one.

And this thread the day before Valentines day…

:heart: :smiley:

I can see how this is going. You are on the slope and sliding. Buy a Burke A, then a low G, then an F. Come to grips with the 'super duper ez grip". Get a low E and then a low D. Your hands aren’t too small, they just need some practice. You can do it!

Enjoy the Burke Bb. That is a nice whistle.

Get yourself a copy of Mick O’Brien’s Kitty Lie Over. Great CD and lots of tracks in Bb so you can play along.
