New whistle rave (Elf Song)

I just received my first high-end whistle, an Elf Song. I am so impressed with it that I just had to tell everyone about it. To start with, it is a beautiful whistle, I got Summer’s Eve w/ Stars. Then I played it. Beautiful clear tone with nice volume. All of the notes really pop and are crisp. I haven’t checked it with a tuner but it sounds like it is very well in tune with itself. The C natural sounds just a scoche off but then I am just too lazy to do a full cross fingering. The low D is not mushy and the high B isn’t too hard to pop out without cracking (on all of my other whistles it is either one or the other). It is very responsive. It requires a little bit more air volume than most of my other whistles but not bad, I am getting used to it pretty quick. I even like the heft. Being made out of copper tubing, it is quite a bite heavier than you average low end whiste. It has a nice subtantial feel that I like. The only complaint that I have is that it is hard to get a grip on the smooth copper mouthpiece and it keeps slipping out of my mouth. I suppose that this will go away as a practice with it a bit. That and copper doesn’t exactly taste the best. This may well be the last whistle that I ever buy (though I haven’t removed the Burke session D from my wish list just yet :slight_smile: ).

I would love to see some pics of it. Elf song whistles are very beautiful whistles indeed. :smiley:

There are photos of all the designs on the web site (I took all the photos for Sandy :slight_smile:): http://www.elfsongwhistles.com/Fingertube%20Designs.htm

Summer’s Eve with stars is 12th from the top.
