Bluebird Whistle
|
The Jerry Freeman-tweaked Bluebird is a Soprano penny whistle noted for its pure, birdlike voicing, especially in the high register. Its body is made of Nickel-plated brass; it plays clean and pure throughout its range and records beautifully.
The Bluebird is similar to the very popular Freeman-tweaked "Blackbird" whistle. Here's what Jerry had to say about this whistle:
"...The result is a really (I mean REALLY) great whistle. I'm very excited about this. It is pure and birdlike, as I had expected, but a different whistle from a Blackbird. (For one thing, it's easier to play, and though it's voiced purer/sweeter than even a pre-1980's Generation, it still has some of the Generation character.)" (end of quote) In addition to being a lovely sounding whistle that advanced players enthusiastically endorse, the Bluebird is recommended for beginning players as they develop breath control. Although it requires a gentle breath in the lowest notes, the whistle is very clean playing and consistent throughout its range, so it will reward very quickly, the practice needed for a beginner to master its playing characteristics.
