I have threatened the whistle for some years now. I have a number and they all have little problems of their own. Some have trouble with the top of the scale and some the bottom. Some overblow to the octave reasonably well and some throw in 5ths and so on.

I have a James Galway, a Feaoog, a silver Shaw and a couple of Generations, so to speak, each in D. No seem to work as they should.

is this just cheap product variation and failure, do I need to boil them in pig's blood or something or is it me and practice?

should I go up market and buy something much better?

Cheers

Les
honest i won't play it near you.
