I knooooow, oh man I am getting that bass G to actually, the sound is phenomenal :P Just make sure you can do the stretch eh? some with even medium arms \ hands most likely cannot do the stretch on that whistle. Colin Goldie was concerned about it, fortunately I am a little disproportionate in thos ...

To respond Jim Stone, no I know they wouldn't actually play a bag of nails......I exxagerated to say how nice a tone they can get from whistle that I don't believe could at this stage of my whistling adventures :P Also I always thought Michael McGoldrick used a tunable kerry pro, i think this video ...

Harpers really aren't a bad looking whistle, are they

That is fantastic....such a wholesome story

Strictly speaking Back pressure is the resistance encountered when blowing into a whistle. Normally back pressure will result in a whistle needing less air, yes. It actually makes it much easier to bend the pitch of a whistle without it jumping ocatves. Some people on the other hand really like easy...

Well, I dion't think you'll get a flute like quality from an overton. They have a tone that is very unique in the whsitling world. It does have to be said though that is a very complex tone, some like it more than others....personally i do enjoy it :) I can tell you in terms of "expressive rang...

Funny part is a part of me wants to think the opposite, that a very high quality whistle doesn't need one but I am willing to concede that isn't entirely the case ;) I do think however that your observation is one of the factors tha...

Awww yes, very good. What kind of whistles do you play colomon?

I think i can safely say and hope people would agree, you never make a bad choice with overton

Very good, thank you And didn't see any engraving on the inside of the tube at the end of the whistle? I don't know for how long, but Colin Goldie has been signing his whistles here.

Don't suppose you'd ever consider a Canadian buyer eh?

Very good, thank you

Brian Finnegan is quite an impressive player and I'm in awe every time I see him play. Have you played Overtons before, or will this be your first experience? What keys are you getting? I'm certainly no authority on Overtons but have a non-tunable Overton sop D that I play in sessions and with our ...

Just a couple question, is this a Bernard Overton or a Colin Goldie (should be engraved somewhere on the whistle, maybe inside on the far end) and is it tunable or non tunable?
