Dixon A tuneable

46

Prior to Xmas, it was my Generation Brass D, followed closely by my Clarke Sweettone and my Susato narrow bore.

After Xmas, my new Burke Brass Session D pushed all of those aside. Love it love it love it! It’s now my #1 by a landslide. I still noodle with the Gen and the Clarke a couple of times a week or so. I barely even look at my Susato anymore.

47

Dixon non-tune Sop D (quiet)
Chieftain Low D
Generation Bb

Aaargh… I have a new favourite that now equals my Sweetone D and which I’m playing all the time. Actually, although I say new, it’s really just the tube from my first ever whistle (a brass Feadog D) with the red mouthpiece from a brass Generation D stuck on it.

I had two Feadogs, both of which suffered from cracked mouthpieces which was a shame because I found the tubes to be more reliably in tune than Generation tubes. The hybrid is a bit sharp if you shove the tube all the way into the mouthpiece, but by pulling it out about 5mm I now have a cheap, cheerful hybrid that plays brilliantly and is in better tune than any of my other whistles.

I’m a dedicated fan of rock bottom cheap instruments. It’s a kind of inverted snobbery, I guess. It all started when I got a cheap Yamaha guitar that kicked the arse of any Fender I ever played…

At least this cheap thing means that for me WHOA is not a bank-breaking disorder.

Sorry, I seem to be straying off topic here…

58

My Oak high D.

59

In sessions: O’Riordan Traveller D (and occasionally my C Water Weasel)

At home (at the moment): O’Riordan Traveller Eb, D Water Weasel (and occasionally my E Water Weasel, now that I’ve worked out that some of the tracks on Music of Sligo are in E)

Away from home: I have an Improved Generation D which is fairly quiet and plays okay
