the Hover B whistle( narrow bore )

about a week ago i received a B non-tunable whistle from mack. i wanted the key of B as i play a B uilleann chanter and i thought it would make learning tunes in that key easier to learn off of the C D. also i want the B scale and tones, burnt into my brain like D is.
this whistle is just pure and sweet. it has a good volume and yet is a bit quite, i think it has a timbre that is just pure quality and seems to carry in a special way. it can also be played in a reedy sounding fashion if one wishes.
it’s constructed of cream coloured pvc, it’s really a 14 1/8 long white cap, with tone holes. there is something special about the key of B.
i just can’t put it down :slight_smile:

I’ve heard lots of good things about Mack’s whistles, but this is the first time I’ve heard that they can, like, walk on water.

Best wishes,
Jerry

It’s not walking, it’s “hovering” :astonished:

Sorry, just couldn’t resist…

it’s a “hover craft”, hull number 953 :wink:

I’ve been wanting a B natural whistle, just a decent Walton’s or something cheap like that… But the B scale is nice, and the high notes are so much less PIERCING than D.

I own a Hoover Bb narrow bore. Walk on water? Maybe not, but I think God uses a Hoover Bb narrow bore to call the oceans to the shore. … and if He doesn’t, He could …

sounds very good :smiley:

kinda OT, but does Mr. Hoover still make “Arrow Bore” whistles?
