as most of you know, i am more of a wood guy, but i love collecting. i know there are two makers of Overtons, Bernard and i think Colin. what is the difference between their makes, or are they the same? which do you prefer?
From Song of the Sea site: Overton …Made by Colin Goldie in Germany (licensed from Bernard Overton to make Overton whistles).
I have an Overton soprano D signed by Colin. It is a great session whistle; loud and fast. I find mine easy to play with balanced registers and a slightly reedy sound that is very expressive. High level of fit and finish and is in tune. Mine is tuneable.
It warms up quickly and has yet to clog. I would not part with it.
Suggest you search on their names, especially
on Bernard Overton. These questions have been
answered in the past.
