Lars, we were just having a little fun here with your post. No harm intended. We’ve all done that double post thing at one time or another. Welcome to C&F.
Lars, Welcome to C&F, and the exciting world of whistles. Yes we have all done the double or triple post thing, misspelled words, or some other grammer error. Needless to say there will be some one lurking for an opportunity to pounce on it with humor. The Copeland is an excellent whistle at the top of the best whistle list. Right up there with Overton.
The thread about shining brass whistles gave me the idea to bump this thread because I polished the Copeland before taking some pix-- and I have to say it does look pretty even though the photos came out blurry. Anyway, both the Copeland and the Reyburn are still available.
You know, since dusting off the Copeland and playing it again for that little clip, I feel now that I couldn’t part with it; in fact it’s moved up to first place as my whistle of choice when I play with my band. It’s loud–and substantial. I think the whole question of which whistle is right/best/chiffiest/purest/all-the-rest is so very relative. Players’ tastes change and, at least in my experience, it takes a long time to get to know the “personality” of a whistle.
Just a thought on a rainy Sunday morning when I really should be working.
