Thread Name: Help: Susato D Whistle
Subject: RE: Help: Susato D Whistle
Some whistles have an adjustable thipple. With those whistles made with plastic mouthpieces you can steam the mouthpiece to loosen the glue. Then they are somewhat tuneable by moving the mouthpiece up and down.
I'm not familiar with Susato whistles. I have a Copeland brass whistle that's built with a moveable mouthpiece. They are superb but not cheap (around $150 for the D whistle and that was some time ago). Last I heard there was quite a waiting list for Copeland whistles. If you are interested, Jiggers, I think I still have Michael Copeland's address at home somewhere.
