Recomended Low G?

Whistle
1

Hi!
I have been playing the flute for some years now and hardly tuched my whistles. However I am thinking of starting to play them again. It´s fun and god thing to use in the bands that I am in. I was thinking of buying a Low G but don’t know from whom. So please give me some ideas. Since I am making money on my playing I am ready tho spend some money for a really god one.

i received a burke low G composite a while back from mick o’brien in dublin.
this low G is improved with two O-rings, and a brass slide to fit on.
the brass and composite together really gives it a fluty&woody sound.
this whistle is very much balanced across the octaves and extremely responsive!

just drop mick a line, he’ll sure give you a good try out!! mikobrien@eircom.net

Thanks! It sound like a god idea. I will look into it. What about susato-whistles. I´ve heard lots of different things about them. Someone offered me a Overton. How are they?

Thank for all help…

I’ve got three low-G’s that I really like:

The Burke low-G is a fine whistle; it’s got a pure yet still low-whistle sound, and is very easy to play due to the thin walls. This was one of my favorite whistles of all till I got the Grinter.

The Water Weasel sounds very much like the Burke, with a little more chiff, but it’s a little more difficult to play because of the larger bore, thicker walls, and large tone holes.

The Grinter is absolutely spectacular. It’s very easy to play, will never clog due to its all-wood design, and the sound is remarkable, whistley, woody, a little bit of purity, chiff, and sweetness all rolled into one.

I’m underwhelmed by Susato and Dixon low-G’s, both of which I’ve played. They’re just a bit on the bland side, and if I were going to spend 50 bucks, I’d shell out the 30 more for the WW. I’ve never played a Copeland, but their low-G’s get uniformly high marks, like Jim’s above.

I am currently selling two Chieftain Low G’s on Ebay. The tunable Low G is the top of the line New Range and is tunable. It is in emaculant condition and is just a pleasure to play. The picture doesn’t in anyway give justice to this whistle.

The Non-tunable Low G I am selling is also in emaculant condition. Actually both of ther whistles are mint. It produces a beautiful haunting sound.

I give you my word you would not be disappointed with either of these fine instruments and if you have any questions just let me know. I think both of the whistles go off Ebay in a little over a day and there are no bidders at this time.
