Thread Name: Advise for buying 1st whistle
Subject: RE: Advise for buying 1st whistle
Another tip:
some mouthpieces have a form with edges like this:
_____
/ \
\_____/
and some are more rounded, more like ().
(sorry, not easy with just characters and some HTML/CSS to draw)
And some (like the Guinness one) have edges on top and are round on the bottom.
I don't like the kind with the edges - they are uncomfortable at the lips.
I took a piece of sandpaper and removed the edges from the Guinness whistle - that doesn't change the sound but is much more comfortable to play.
