You are using the correct term. The term to use to describe a breathy whistle is.... breathy! If there is a more technical term, I don't think I've heard anyone use it.

Thank you very much, Sirchronique.

The Shaw is way more breathy (it's the "chiff" you guys are always talking about, right?). Time for this year's debate about chiff & sizzle ? :o Thanx for the link, Peter! Now it's clear. :) I misunderstood it as the "air noises" with each tone, which is different from whist...

That is actually a generation Bb (The Bb I believe I recommended to you, and you said would be too breathy! :lol: ), not an Eb. Glad you like it! Ooops! Typo!! Sorry! :lol: (I'll correct it right away....) Yes, it's a little breathy but still ok, I like it. Thanx for the recommendation! The Shaw is...

RECENT UPDATE: a few sales and purchases later.... My final(???) flute sortiment. (I can't promise, though, that there won't be more NAFs. I've absolutely fallen in love with them! Mesmerizing tone!!) Below the NAF stand (all High Spirits Flutes, USA) there are my present whistles I excercise with (...

Thank you so much, shao-yang!

This is a funny idea, schao-yang!
Shi shey!!

I'd like to know what "life dedicated to music" means. That would be a great name!
Please include the Chinese characters, in bigger script if possible (for details).

For me, as a beginner, the spacing is a PITA but maybe I just gotta get used to it. It feels very strange and uncomfortable in comparison to all other flutes and whistles I have. I constantly miss B3 or have it half covered only. It's a matter of practice, I'm sure. Yep. So just hang in there. It w...

It's the same with my Dixon Low D, which I received today. For me, as a beginner, the spacing is a PITA but maybe I just gotta get used to it.

Gorgeous flutes, especially the G and F#!

Up to now, I thought Wahajo in Germany be the only one to manufacture flutes with this high gloss finish and beautyful wood grains.
