no all is not forgiven they are still different I got a susato low G but only because guitar players seem to know no other cord and are not flexible and my fingers are too big for an ordinary one
But change is change....
More than I wanted to play for it though- did save 10 dollars getting it on ebay.....

The sound may not be to everyone's taste and they're getting to be a little bit pricey, but Susato do make consistently good instruments. And they want for nothing in the volume department.

Yikes just Googled and they are getting surprisingly pricey aren't they! I don't play G whistle enough to justify going the whole hog and buying an Overton G, so my Susato G lives in the gig bag and gets the odd run out. Nice instrument, does the job very well, should play it more.

Am I the only one to find the spacing of the R2 and R3 holes a bit unexpected when you first pick it up after playing other whistles/flutes (R2 feels a bit high up the barrel)? Doesn't take too long to adjust, but sometime catches me out at first ...

Congratulations, #1. Having a new instrument is rather like young love. There's nothing quite like it.

Are you playing Christmas music on it?

HA! as I thought no one picked up on the reference to the ancient super whistle discussion!

A bit of a challenge its not the hands so much but the air stream but progress
