but lost your good advice. It’s been a while since you helped me choose a first whistle for my husband for Christmas. Without as much time on it as he’s wanted, he’s picked up on the Sweetone Soprano D pretty well and is ready to try another one. His only problem is the closeness of the
holes. The C seems to have more space and a good key to try next. Does anyone have any advice on a good C whistle? Any help would, again, be greatly appreciated.
Go to the “What’s a Good C Whistle” thread one page back.

Not being too familiar with the site and having exhausted all my limited knowledge, how do I get back one thread from here? We need help. Thanks.

Thanks Jessica, just what I needed. Eventually I may learn to get around on my own. Also, it’s time to put my husband the musician, altho fairly new to the whistle, on to talk for himself.
Susato - - I’ve heard it said on this board that the soprano C might be Susato’s best key. I have one and find it very serviceable; accurate tuning, as are all Susatos, pretty easy playability, loud, but not over-bearing. Fairly modest price, too.
WhiteCap on Gen - - I never did like my C nickel Generation. Bad tuning, unpleasant and coarse, inconsistent tone. Until I had Mack Hoover install a White Cap whistle head on it, that is. You can check out the prices on the Generation easy enough; they’re inexpensive. The White Cap re-fit cost about $30.
I recommend both of these choices for a soprano C first whistle. If you want something better, my next suggestion would be a Burke aluminum black tip, which is thought by many to be among the best in this key. But, more money, of course. Good luck.
