Re: CP: Goldfinch Whistle World Tour

That whsitle has a great sound!
The Goldfinch looks like my Parks, but i like the sound better, it's more mellow.
Has it got a volume controle-ring aswell ?

FS: Parks Walkabout High D

I like my new copeland so much i won't need any other whistles If anyone's interested in a whistle with volume controle, this what you're looking for. It can be played pretty loud, but also very quiet, almost like i whisper. I'm asking 30 euros+postage. http://img40.imagevenue.com/loc481/th_63132_Pa...

Re: whistle or flute

I think I will stick to whistle for now certainly. My 'music teacher' sister in law says that playing the flute you need more to push your bottom lip out to get a note? I was a brass instrument player so I am used to playing that, hence the one time I tried to play a flute I could get nothing. My G...
