WhistleSmith Good and Plenty Bb Whistle

good & plenty  Bb

Many folks asked for an easy to clean whistle with accurate tuning, no tuning slide, and an extra smooth bore for the best sound possible. The Good and Plenty whistle is the result of receiving so many requests for a back to basics whistle.

I received this email from a whistler in Pennsylvania who lives near Lancaster in the midst of Amish country. Here is an excerpt of his letter.

"I recently was waiting for my wife to do some shopping in a road side furniture store near Lancaster, PA. I got tired of sitting in the car , so I ambled over to where there were some rocking chairs for sale and took my whistle along for company. I bought the Traveler, Low A in October and I carry it on the road while I call on accounts.

There were no customers outside the shop, so I settled in to play a tune or two and probably had been playing a full ten minutes when I noticed I had an audience of two Amish children of about ten. I stopped playing and said hello and they responded that they liked my music and settled in to hear another piece. I had played a couple of my favorite songs when their father showed up and with a nod invited me to play some more.

I played for a bit more and then took a break and showed the two children the whistle and how it played. The father looked the whistle over and asked me if it had a name and I replied it was a WhistleSmith. He smiled and said " I think you should call it 'the Good and Plenty!' because it plays plenty well and good too!"

Thought you would enjoy hearing that you have an Amish admirer of your whistle. As you can tell I think this a great whistle to take on the road too. A new addition to the Good & Plenty whistle line up is now available in the key of Bb. This is a nice whistle for anyone's collection and is in stock for at once shipping.

The Good and Plenty Bb is made with a single piece body of ultra white polymer pipe with a dark grey poly plug and removable top cap for quick and easy cleaning of the mouthpiece.

Whistle is 14.25" long overall.

The tone body has large finger holes with a small hands reach between holes. Comfortable for folks with extra large hands because of the larger diameter tone body. Large holes make half holing and ornamentation easier to play.

The mouthpiece slides apart for easy cleaning.

The Good & Plenty Whistle has a rich, full tone and plenty of volume. This is a whistle that will take powerful playing and still play with minimal breath requirements. Light, sharp tonguing will bring out the clarity and tone of the Good & Plenty with the tone you have been looking for.

This whistle is perfect for playing in the Key of Bb, Eb and Cm with no cross fingering to learn.

This is a take anywhere whistle that will play in all kinds of weather and temperature conditions and can take years of play with little or no effect on fit and finish.

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

Whistle is White with silver striping as shown in photo.
