Material ,bore, and tone quality
My first whistle was a Tony Dixon Trad. Last week I saw a Walton’s mellow on discount and got it. Even though the Walton’s is brass, there wasn’t as much tone quality difference as I expected, although I think the Walton’s upper octave isn’t quite as piercing. Does bore (tapered v cylindrical) have a greater effect on the tone quality than material (brass v cupro-nickel)?
