Parkhurst

Whistle
1

I am looking into buying a Parkhurst whistle with extra bodies to play in extra jeys. I’d like some feedback from any of you who use them and some pics if possbile.

Thanks.

All I know is this clip from Clips and Snips sounds pretty good. And the C natural, whichever fingering he uses, is pretty darned in tune.

I bought a Parkhurst E-flat and gave it to my wife…it’s a lovely whistle, well in tune, and easy to play.

Here’s the tune “Trip to Durrow” on it, which was a Scoiltrad lesson:

I have a Parkhurst quiet D and love it. At the moment a friend has borrowed it so she can learn to play whistle.

Nice Pix James!

Cheers,

I have one of Dan’s D whistles, and I like it a lot. Amazing what he can do with a piece of simple copper plumbing pipe.

I have a Parkhurst D and it’s a beautiful and unique looking whistle that plays well in tune and relatively on the quiet side. Dave puts your initials or musical notes on for you and he’s a prince to deal with. Also reasonably priced good value.
