Trying out new rebranded Generation tin whistles (+comparison)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- Hi! The legendary Generation Whistles recently had a re-brand and the joint director, Rob Brown, was kind enough to send me three of the new whistles for me to try out. Including the new cool-looking Aurora model (in teal). At the same time, they're slowly improving the mouthpieces too.
You'll visually recognize the new whistles, not only because of the new design and packages, but also because the new stickers on the whistle say "Made in England". Also, at the end of the video I'm comparing them to some old Generations that I have (a D brass one, a D nickel one and a Bb nickel one). They sound great. What do you think?
I thought Generation Whistles was a big factory but I was surprised to learn it's a family company in a small English town. You can check out more info and buy these whistles on Generation's official website, here: generationmusi...
Note: this is not a paid promotion or anything, I was super happy to receive these whistles and show them to you guys.

Thanks for watching!
Your 'Ships are Sailing' is just superb.
Thanks!
love your playing style and ornaments
I'm liking the direct sound the aurora d has... I've never been a huge fan of the gen high c whistle tbh... maybe I've just have the worst luck and buying once that end up not being tuned correctly... having that said... I've been playing a gen Bb for YEARS and i still love it to this day. Like most folks i started of playing a gen d whistle as a kid and couldn't stop playing it until the entire neighborhood got sick of me playing hahaha It's great to see/hear them actually improving on their designs again :-) Generation whistle are simply something you feel has always been around hehe :-) An almost nostalgic feeling in a way ...I would love to try out their newer versions for sure... thanks for sharing :-)
There is something about Generation whistles that Keeps bringing me back to them. I guess I just think they sound the best.
Hola PJ's me alegro mucho de que hagas un review por tu canal, en algún video vi que pusiste tu equipo en la descripción pero no mucho más, os dejo aquí mi experiencia personal con algunos whistles por si teneis pensado comprar alguno.
Tengo en mi colección un par de generations y los recomiendo totalmente para la gente que se está iniciando, tienen un sonido bastante equilibrado aunque alguno que otro sale con defecto de fabrica y el esmalte en los niquelados y laton con el tiempo se va desvastando, hace poco compre un clarke afinado en D, la edición Celtic que tienen una triqueta dibujada, en apariencia es muy bonito pero tiene un sonido bastante desequilibrado, la parte superior es mas ancha que la inferior lo que produce que las notas de los agujeros inferiores suenen con menos potencia ejerciendo la misma presión, además el acabado deja mucho que desear, no es redondo sino que es una plancha metalica corvada y rematada una sobre otra por lo que la boquilla en ese remate pierde mucho aire, además en el interior el corte de la plancha deja un surco que provoca ármonicos que suenan fatal.
Luego tengo dos Dixon un low whistle en cuerpo de aluminio y boquilla plastico ABS afinado en D que lo tengo desde hace 9 años y suena fenomenal, tambien un tin DX pro en D afinable, en cuerpo de plastico negro y la union en latón, el sonido muy potente y equilibrado pero bastante seco, aún así lo prefiero 1000 veces antes que el clarke.
great comparison!
could you share the tunes you played in the video (i especially love the first tune you played) ?
Well, I literally ordered a couple of Generation Bb whistles about an hour ago. I don't quite trust Generation overall, but I do think we can trust them to make decent Bb whistles. However, it seems like the Aurora whistles sound pretty decent. It's definitely more mellow and controlled(?) than the nickel or brass Generation D whistles I see online. Would be nice if they can get some quality control with the Aurora line.
Still tinwhistling :) nice! Thanks for sharing
I'm a big fan of Generation whistles. I was lucky enough to find an old D on ebay that probably dates back to the 70's It's tarnished and dented and is a joy to play. I must get hold of one of the new Aurora D whistles, in your hands it sounds stunning.
love your music. my favorite channel please never be commercial stay "youtube humble" ;)
Woah, you really play well!
What a fantastic player you are,man!
wow man...made my life..
Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....
Tengo uno de esos nuevos Generation y de hecho es mi primer silbato.. la verdad que no estaba seguro porque muchos dicen que los Generation suenan horrible, pero el mio parece sonar bastante bien.. aunque tuve muchos problemas con las octavas.. pero supongo que es falta de practica.
The aurora is a definite improvement.
hoy recibi un whistle Gen. modelo folk boquilla verde,estaria bien que las boquillas no estuvieran pegadas, trabajo me costo despegarlo, solo rellene el hueco con cera debajo del canal de aire para eliminar esas turbulencias y suena perfecto en las dos octavas
可愛い音♪
I want to learn this instrument but I don’t know how
Hi! Buy a whistle (in D because a lot of Irish tunes are in that key) then check out tutorials on RUclips. That's what many people and I do. I can recommend you the channel "whistle tutor", he gives good advices on how to start, how to practice on your own, etc... :) Good luck! From Brittany.
@@fintanandrouiz8160 Thank you very much! :)))
@@bugrilyus you're welcome!
Crees que esos nuevos Aurora suenen que los Boho? que son mas lindos pero mas caros y tal vez suenan peor.
Does the plastic head taste weird. I just got one and it does. What can I do to eliminate the taste?
Not that I've noticed, no. But, anyway, put the mouthtip under hot water (not boiling, just tap water) for a while to remove the glue so that the whistle becomes tunable. Who knows if doing that can also remove the taste that you mention...
@@TinWhistler Ok, thanks I"ll try that
Desgraciadamente en mis 4 TW figura "British Made" en la etiqueta. Imagino que son de alguna remesa antigua. Me gustaría conocer tu opinión sincera de estos anteriores a los de 2020, en comparación con estos últimos. Gracias anticipadas.
Poca diferencia. Pero sinceramente siempre cojo por defecto mi Bb antiguo. Es insuperable.
@@TinWhistler Entonces, supongo que mi GenBb Nickel es más parecido al tuyo. Y el que parece insuperable tocándolo eres tú. Mis intérpretes favoritos sois M. Bergin y tú. Gracias otra vez.
Oooo I like the Aurora... it has a sweet tone 👌
Do you know where we can buy these online? Like is there a website?

Are the new generation whistles any good? You sound good all the time so i cant tell lol
it seems like their Bb whistles are reliably decent. you probably have to go whistle hunting for other keys though.
Can I have a request 😁😁 will u pls play the intro of My Heart Will Go On using the B flat whistle? 😅 I’ve been looking for videos on people playing MHWGO using that key but they’re so few... Pleeeasee.. 😭😄 Thanks a lot.
