Sometimes I love my mailbox...

…I find such neat things in it occasionally (no, I’m not talking about the water bill). My elfsong came today! It’s so pretty! And it plays beautifully too! I’ll post a proper review later after I’ve played with it some more.


:heart:

What key is it Sam? Looking forward to your review!

high D. And your sheep needs a bucket, mister.

Nope, this is the ovine version of eating spaghetti.

He really can’t help himself … what would You do after you’d eaten too much grass yourrself yesterday?

I do like the D elfsong very much by the way. When it’s warmed up it truely lives in your hands. Mine has a very full sound … it’s a bit heavy though :roll: I can recommend the C as well!

If you think the elfsong is heavy, don’t ever get a serpent :astonished:

Actually, I don’t think it’s that heavy at all. I like a little more substantial whistle, doesn’t make me feel like the first time I drop it that it’ll be destroyed (not that I drop whistles on purpose or am careless with them. you know what I mean, right?)

Hmm… yes but I don’t have that much experience with other high end whistles. So compared to the O’Briain improved and generations I play regularly this sure is quite a bit heavier. Any idea if a Burke Brass Pro is as heavy as the Elfsong whistle? I’m really curious about that… ( or the composite … or the aluminium? :slight_smile: )

Sorry about the question.. not really the right place, but I’ll give it a go grin.

Congrats, Sam. I really love my Elfsong, even its heaviness. And the Burke isn’t nearly as heavy as the Elf. I had a lot of trouble at first with it clogging up regularly, but somehow it healed itself. Weird, but cool.

Love mine too, heft included. Still my favorite Soprano D so far. Except, on the quieter side, I just got Stacey’s “Alba practice D”, which is a soft, wonderful little whistle.
Enjoy the Elfsong.

Oh my. Now I’m really wishing my budget was bigger…!

Gah! just when I had stopped thinking about my own on-order elfsong set (an a/Bb set, they’re supposed to ship this week) You had to get yours, back to bouncing across the walls again I guess. Anyway, I absolutely love my elfsongs (i have a D/C set) esp. the more weighty feel; and I can always count on getting a few ooohhs over the finish :slight_smile:
