I obviously used to blow mine too hard, & it was harsh sounding, but now that I'm slightly better at playing my whistles, it doesn't seem so harsh anymore, yet I still don't really like the high ones, except this one......it is somewhat strange.

Keith, I have Generation high F and a high G.

You've inspired me to pull them out again and revisit.

Though I like their handy 'pocket size' (more like purse size really) they are a bit hard on the ears, but that could simply have been my first impression. At the time I was also getting some low G and and A whistle in polymer, so the sound contrast was pretty drastic.

I'll try the little ones out again, just to be fair.  :)

So, it seems no one here does that then.

There are a few on C&F that also use a high F to tootle on in an odd moment, so I'm not alone in doing it.

Having acquired a fair few whistles in a short space of time, I have now collected together a very nice selection, from C down to a low D - however I still seem to grab up my Generation high F's when I just want to mess around, & I was just wondering if anyone else finds a high F an ideal fun whistle.
