Just wanted to be sure I was addressing your concerns.Mikepaul wrote:In my continual search for that one better whistle, I am considering Copeland's silver D. It would be quite an investment so I'm looking for any feedback I can get. Purity of tone is most important to me. I don't like chiff or air. Responsiveness is a close second. I am fairly content with my Burke D Aluminum, but thinking that the slightly thicker siver wall will improve tone more than the Copeland Nickel would, and not be quite as heavy as the Copeland Brass or take as long to warm up. Anyone have or tried one? Thanks all.

As Jennie was saying, this has the flutey sound of copelands,
the conical bore does it's thing. You might wish to check
the copeland sound if you haven't already. May not
be what you want. Above all the whistle is powerful
and beautiful sounding, but it's its own thing. I don't
think it's terribly high on the 'purity' scale.
Jon Sindt is making silver whistles with delrin heads, he
has told me. In fact I have one. That's pure, alrighty,
and responsive.
