Easy to buy, website easy to navigate. Whistle well packaged and arrived when expected
Pros: I like the weight and the tone, and also tend to prefer a whistle with a slightly wider bore purely for ergonomic reasons. It's loud (this is a whistle that I need ear protection to play comfortably) and needs a good push in the upper-second octave to sound nice, so it takes a bit of adjustment coming from quieter D whistles, but when you get it right the tone is powerful and clear. Cons: The build quality is poor. The holes on the barrel are not centre-aligned with one another and it is not well in tune with itself, the moulding around the fipple is iffy, and there is some gapping between the delrin parts of the mouthpiece and the brass (if it is brass) insert. I was considering returning it, but I left it overnight next to a brass whistle and next morning the copper had tarnished and gone green all down the side that was in contact (which I should have anticipated but it didn't occur to me). That didn't worry me so much although it ruled out a return, but when I went to polish it the copper just polished off completely. Turns out it was only a very thin plating so now the whistle is half copper, half silver. I think this would make a good busking whistle if the the tuning / intonation could be sorted. I am keeping it around (I don't have much choice) but it has sent me on a hunt for a whistle with similar characteristics but better build quality. I am glad I didn't pay the original retail price, but I can't help but wonder if I got sent one of the B-stock whistles despite purchasing the last remining non-B-stock in copper.
Great service, thank you.
I have bought several whistles from Big Whistle and they, the company annd the whistles, are fantastic! Any questions I have are answered quickly and if the whistle I have ordered is in stock, it is dispatched very quickly. Every whistle has been very well packaged and I would highly recommend Big Whistle. I would only order my whistles from Big Whistle as I feel the Burke whistles and the service is professional and of the highest quality.
I've ordered two whistles from Big Whistle. They both arrived promptly in the USA in secure packages.
Arrived quickly, will buy from you again. Thank you.
The whistle arrived promptly. It would have been nice if it had been packed in a box rather than a cardboard tube, and perhaps marked as fragile. It was delivered when I was out and just forced through the letterbox. The packaging was damaged but, fortunately the whistle seems to have survived. Something to ponder on for the future as delivery services around Christmas tend to be a bit hurried and careless
Good prompt service
this was a perfect deal!
Excellent service as usual. Thank you James.
Looks beautiful, plays well except for the lowest note. Hard to get a clean resonance out of it on the lowest note. It’s improved a lot with oiling and regular play, but I wouldn’t play a venue with it just yet due to the unreliable low note.
Thanks for showing me this Compass whistle and for your fine service and timely delivery to the USA.
