bc soul sista Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Alright...so I am in the process of learning my whistles...bought a trained dog who already has a set...I bring my whistle with on my ride to work every morning and practice, am currently using a Montana light whistle... #1 ISSUE) I am getting decent about getting a range of sounds out of the darn thing...doing them consistently and making the ones I want when I want them needs work...but my big problem is after about a minute I got so much SPIT in there I can't make decent sounds!!! I try clearing it out but I still can't get good sound!! It's all gurgly and NASTY!!! Is there something I am doing terribly wrong?? Would a different whistle be better??

Sue R Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I don't know if this has a thing to do with it but I do know that certain materials/metals can encourage the production of saliva - think bits that are made with differing metals (and configurations) that result in more saliva production. I find I have to take the whistle out and give myself a good swallow pretty frequently. I never did well with Montana Lites although many, many people use them successfully. I like Corian and brass (the brass is heavy and not as pleasant in winter, or I might like it best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Atwater Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 For me, it's Brass that makes me drool like a St Bernard. I'm using a Corian whistle, now, as I broke my horn one, and neither of those created excess saliva. So, my might consider trying a whistle of another material, as the metal in that one might just trigger your slobber mechanism. ~ Gloria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
