Does anyone know the difference between a Silkstone soprano D and a Silkstone “Gold Ring” soprano D? I read that the gold ring whistle is quieter than the regular soprano D. Is queitness a good quality in a whistle for performing and practicing, or is a louder whistle more appropriate? Thanks for all your help.
Hi, Kevin. I can’t speak to the Silkstone, but I know that having whistles of differing volume characteristics comes in very handy when backing up lead vocals in a purely acoustic performance venue. Sometimes a loud whistle simply overpowers solo vocals and violins…It goes almost without saying that practicing with a softer whistle in one’s home is better for wives, children, and small animals…
Cheers.
