JaderBug Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Perhaps this isn't groundbreaking but just wanted to share this... I've tried a couple different types of whistles- plastic, corian, metal... I do the best making a consistent sound with a metal whistle but hated the feeling of metal on my teeth. I bought some Woodwind Mouthpiece Cushions, cut to shape and placed on my metal whistles where my teeth bite down. I don't think the pads interfere with the sound at all. Attached is a picture of a whistle with the pads, same pads on the other side as well Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Interesting idea. I wonder if it would also make the metal whistle less unpleasant for people who live in colder climes.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurae Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Interesting. Wonder if it would make a buffalo horn whistle a bit more palatable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcollie Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Cool! I have an allergy to Brass ... wonder if that would help? Which one did you buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaderBug Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Cool! I have an allergy to Brass ... wonder if that would help? Which one did you buy? I think it was like this one but I'm not 100% sure, I picked the ones I used up at the local music supply store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcollie Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks ... I'm going to give it a try (heck, sure not expensive so why not :@) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
