WARBL Forum

Sounds good. Your main reason for wanting a longer version is for the expanded hole spacing, though, is that correct? Or was it more for appearance?

Cool! The bota bag is a great idea, I had forgotten about those. It looks like you can get the cheap ones online for around $10.

Thanks! It looks good to me. I’ll try to get to this this week. I’m not sure if I would add the button functionality as that would be more of a major rewrite and my space on the microcontroller is limited so I need to be a little selective about what. However, you could have similar functionality by...

The PCB is 1/2” wide, so I don’t think that there would be a chanter large enough in diameter, would there? It would be a possibility to make a version inside a chanter, but I think at that point the price would be around the same as the other chanter options out there and it would lose some versati...

I'm working on this now-- does it make sense to use the R3 and R4 fingers for vibrato on GHB (middle/index fingers of right hand)?

The lead time for WARBL orders is now around two weeks.

I've been thinking more about the vibrato, and I don't think the "custom" system that whistle and uilleann uses would be great for GHB because it is more geared toward an open playing style, so I'd like to develop a better option for GHB. If I understand your initial suggestion, you'd like...

I haven’t extensively tested the vibrato with closed fingering systems, so I’m not too surprised that there may be some issues. I would guess that what happens is that a finger is sometimes partly lifted when a note is triggered, and then that finger is lowered the rest of the way, triggering vibrat...

By the way, did what I said about vibrato make sense? I’m happy to take a look at it if there’s a more logical way to do it. It may help to limit the number of holes that are available for vibrato (which you can do now at the bottom of the slide/vibrato panel), or we could possibly come up with a “c...

Thanks for the photos, those are great. I may ask you for some measurements when the time comes;) The connectors at the bottom of WARBL make it so that I couldn’t move the bottom hole lower while maintaining the current overall length, but when I design a longer version I’ll take all this into consi...
