Ultra Bb Whistle

When folks in Maine decide that something is exceptional, they generally say "It's Wicked Good"
The Ultra Bb is one Wicked Good Whistle!

This whistle has been developed over the past two years. It is a common sense approach to several vexing problems that face a whistlesmith when developing a whistle that can be reproduced in numbers and retain tuning and playing profiles when played under a variety of conditions.

Stable air flow in the mouthpiece makes the whistle blow easier, longer and with more volume.

Larger cut on the wind way means saliva buildup is no longer a problem.

Flute style hole means mellow, rounder sound with more strength and clarity on each individual note.

Stable octave bounce from low octave to high octave without squeaks and breaks.

Tuning is very accurate and stable in both octaves using this mouthpiece.

Testers noted improved sound volume and better low end of first octave.

Testers said that the Ultra was very stable to play and twenty testers said it was exceptional in balance between octaves.

The tuning head slide combination was judged to be not only an economical solution to tuning, but was easy to use and reset and provided a very good feature for cleaning the whistle.

After considerable playing and input from testers, the snap off top of the mouthpiece was changed to a slide off top with more grab to prevent it shifting accidentally after it was set in place and adjusted. lWhen this change was made, the test group played instruments with the change and they agreed the mouthpiece was more efficient to clean and play with the new slide off top.

If you play your whistle outdoors then the Ultra Bb is for you! You can play this whistle in a gale force wind and it will not miss a note. This is a great whistle to take camping, hiking or playing around the fire.

I have improved the Straight Shot mouthpiece in shape and it feels silky smooth against your lip. The mouthpiece has a bevel on the top to fit your lip when the whistle is played in a variety of positions. The tuning slide is part of the mouthpiece and is very easy to use.

Whistle is fourteen inches long, well balanced and feels substantial in your hand. The tuning slide is copper with a decorative decal and is easy to set.

The Ultra Bb lets you play in the Keys of Bb and Eb and Cm without having to learn any tricky cross fingering. This is a very handy whistle to add to your collection.

Straight Shot mouthpiece is made of Bristol white polymer and has a dark gray plug from IMG plastics. The mouthpiece contains no wood or metal and the top slides completely off for cleaning and can be adjusted to best playing position on the top and bottom octaves.

The Ultra Bb has a rich, full sound you'll enjoy, with balanced high and low octaves. There is plenty of volume for any type of playing.

Colors for the Ultra Bb are, Jet Black, Deep Maroon, Dark Green, Dark Brown, Magenta or Dark Navy Blue. Striping is in silver.

Whistle comes with an 11" x 17" color coded fingering chart and whistle tips and instructions sheet
