While it may be that most whsitles go unnoticed, they never do to a student of whistles !! Why is that ?? Because to the trained whistle eye ( you heard it here first about whistle eyes ) There is nuance .
Now what does THAT mean ?? It means that there is subtlety that can only be seen and therefore appreciated —- by the trained eye.
Well, everyone knows that you say. BUT, what does one loooooook for in whistles ?? First it depends on the material. For wood it might be what kind, how old, how large, if there are metals mixed and on and on.
Perhaps it is all about silver or how about IVORY !! ( or bone 🙂
For me it is metal ( no tin ) No potmetal though… no cheap stuff ya know. 🙂
Heaviness plays a part of nuance. How the whistles are constructed may vary and reveal much about the maker, but also about the different models of each particular maker. EVEN different years of the same makers whistles. EVEN the different parts used the same year.
Wow I am spinning out !!!! Too much nuance …..
