Has anyone done this in the delrin-lined Burke whistles? What results?
Why would you want to do this? The delrin generally eliminates the problem that the Jet Dry fixes… at least that’s been my experience.
Why would I want to do this?
I get that question a lot. On so many topics.
But I do get some moisture, even with the delrin. Maybe the combination of delrin and jet-dri would be a double whammy of moisture-free playing bliss?
Other than tasting bad when you over do it (like I always do) it works. I have a C that clogs even though it has the delrin…I liked the Dr. Bronner Peppermint soap for inadvertent taste reasons, but I think the JetDri works better.
I heard somewhere before that Jet Dry is chemically similar to RainX only watered down.
I think the soap would be a bit safer.
Warm the whistle up well before playing, it helps reduce clogging.
This reminds, some people have ice cold hands and others have warm hands, I wonder how much effect this has on whistle tuning and clogging problems. I myself have fairly warm hands and so the body of the instrument heats up from this - A person with cold hands might not heat the instrument up as much and therefore suffers more clogging than usual.
