This whistle is designed for soft solo play (tested on my napping 2 year old). It also works well with quieter accompaniment such as guitar or dulcimer. Despite its lower volume it maintains a round pleasant sound. Also good for not standing out in a session (though beware - you can still be heard).
Unfortunately, I already called dibs on this particular whistle
Bumping it up for a poor, starving student… :roll:
I remember that Macacauba whistle well-- it’s gorgeous, dark red wood with a very high shine and a sort of iridescence to the grain. Very pretty stuff and I don’t have any more of it, FWIW. Knowing Andrea, it’s been well cared for. I’m tempted to buy it back myself, but I kinda have enough wooden D whistles…
