WARBL Forum

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...

Do you have the "custom" vibrato switch turned on? If that's turned off (it's only an option with whistle and uilleann fingering), then you should be able play in a closed position without affecting the tuning of the notes. In theory, if you trigger a note with some of your fingers down (s...

Great, thanks! It's possible that it works with some devices/iOS versions but not others, but I'm glad it's working in your case!

It would be a while before I have time to work on a longer version (so no preorders yet ;)), but I think something in the range of a highland chanter would make sense. That would get it closer to the length of an uilleann chanter, Irish flute, low whistle, etc., so I hopefully there would be fairly ...

Okay, great!

Okay, thanks! It sounds like there’s plenty of interest in a longer one, so it’s on my to-do list .
