All I can say is…wow.
This whisle is right up my alley.
I’ll second that Drew. What a beautiful whistle with a sweet sound.

Hey Drew…
We should have swapped our Reyburns last night at the session to see if there are any differences. Maybe next week. Be interesting to see how closely they match up.
I agree that Ronaldo is procucing some fine instruments, and I believe I’ve finally found the soprano D I’ve been looking for. This is an excellent whistle with a really nice tone, strong bell note, good volume, easy to play, well-balanced, perfectly tuned and dead-on accurate. This could possibly be the ‘sleeper’ hi D that many are looking for but aren’t aware of or haven’t tried. I’d love to go on raving, but I really need to go play a few tunes. Cheers, Ronaldo!
Just as a side anecdote, I had lunch with my 80 year old grandmother today and I just had to show off my new whistle (the Reyburn). She listend to me massacre a few songs and she says “Wow. That’s a nice whistle. Its got a nicer sound than that other one”. The ‘other one’ was my Burke.
I started thinking about it and I like the Burke’s tuning slide and response better but prefer the sound ‘character’ of the Reyburn - Don’t get me wrong, it’s not sluggish at all. It’s just not quite as ‘crisp’ as the Burke.
Don’t ask me why, but all this sorta gave me a half-brained idea: I wonder if I could somehow put the head of this Reyburn on the body of my Burke and get the best of both worlds…hrmm…sounds like it’s time for a trip to low’s.
Anyone think this would work?
