Yes, they’re made better, but they also cost 50 times more than a cheap whistle. Sure, they are made by famous people, etc, but a whistle is a whistle, right? The problems that you see in the low-end whistles are probably going to show up in the high-end ones too, since the instrument design is the same. I’ve thought about high-end whistles a lot, and still haven’t convinced myself that any whistle deserves a US$100+ price tag. i hope that this is not a common flaw…for i am paitently waiting for a back order of another A whistle.Īny comments on the chieftains whistle i would deeply appreciate. I had a chieftain tuneable A whistle that i ended up sending back. I discovered that you do need to get them warmed up before playing. even tho the low notes are softer in volume as compared to the susato. Question….what is your opinion of the chieftain whistle? Tried the susato whistle….bought one of those sets that have one mouth piece and three tubes….out of the three (D, C, & Bb) the D was satisfactory…. Which have left me very unsatisfied with my whistles. i have been (cursed) so to speak with hearing off keys.

And I had a chance to speak with and play with John Sindt, who makes whistles out of his house/shop in Nyack. I've heard Mary Bergen play whistle in a house concert. Me, I've been too nervous to drag a recorder to any of the sessions out here, afraid I'd be lynched. I was at a session in Cape Cop last week where one of the leaders used the recorder instead of the whistle, and a woman was quietly blowing on a recorder behind me instead of using a whistle. I noticed the recorder fingerings were pretty similar to the flute fingerings, in the same way the whistle fingerings are similar to Irish flute fingerings. I play (or used to) various voices of recorder which I picked up way before they were taught in grade school as an outgrowth of both SCA and playing flute. Speaking of articulation, we were very disappointed in our whistles yesterday when we swung into Dingle Regatta and not a single one of them sang out "hey ho!" at the appropriate parts.
