Sweetheart Resonance Low D Whistle Tour

Whistle
1

Anyone interested?

I asked for sage advice on how to organize this, and was told that it would easiest to get responses here on the message board. I’ll edit this post, add your name to the list, and people could check back here when its time to move it on to the next person in line.

I’ve got one person so far, and will add others as we go:

Mr Nate is the first. Please send me your address in a PM and when I have the new batch of low D’s (end of next week) I’ll pick one and send it on.

We may just try a double tour so that the non-North Americans have a go at it, too.

Howdy,

I’m interested. I’ve sent you a PM.

Best,

Dave

I’ve already sent a PM, but I wanted to give a public thank you for organizing a tour. The Sweetheart low D is sort of a mystery whistle. There seems to be no recording posted anywhere, yet there are all these great reviews on the board.

Looking forward to hearing what all the talk is about.

Would love to get in on this

5

Changed my mind about the tour, but thanks! Send it on to the next person!

6

I am also interested in this tour.

7

I’d like to join in too. PM on the way. Thanks.

8

Will there be a flute head included?

Monkey, there was an attempt to make them interchangeable, but it didn’t work as well as Walt would have liked, so no, we can’t do a Resonance Trio the way we do with the Professional.

But Walt did suggest that we get the Res Flute out on tour too, so I’ll start a thread there and see how it flies.

I just sent a PM and I would love to try the flute as well. This is the best way to learn if you like a whistle or flute. Thanks for setting this up.

I would love to be included please.
Many thanks

The low whistle is either on its way to Pjuul or he already has it. I didn’t keep it for long, because I didn’t like it. The tone holes weren’t comfortable for me, and it didn’t sound in tune. Thanks for letting me try it!

13

What is the order of the stops? Is it going through Europe first and then coming over here? Or is it only Europe now?

14

I once had a Sweetheart D Irish Flute and it had a lovely tone but I traded it for an Overton Low D whistle( a most magnificent instrument). I had asked Ralph if I could get a whistle head for the body but apparently there were design issues that wouldn’t make it feasible. My ebony Sweetheart Sop. D is a total joy and I’m dying to try out their low whistles! I hope I don’t have to wait too long!!!

15

Maybe I was the first one on the European list, and got hold of one of the two whistles…?

16

Yes, you were the first on the European tour, but if the whistle didn’t sound in tune, I want it back! I’ll interrupt the tour, make sure its been seen (and heard) by the power that be, and get it back on the road after.

Sincerely,
tyg

It might just be my ear and preferences, but let us just let Pjuul try it before you have to take it back. It’s on its way to him anyway.

18

Hasn’t the whistle arrived yet?

I hope it’s not too late to sign up - please include me. pm on the way
