Does this whistle collector have any MP 5 chimes or 6 chimes? If so, they ought to be blown on air and recorded. Compressed air doesn’t give the same full tone as steam, but we could hear what the tuning is.
There are three or four Nathan choices in the Tsunami2-2 2200. To me, whistles 37 and 38, Nathan 5 chimes, sound too deep toned for 5 chimes, may have been recorded on low pressure, but they sound like 6 chimes to me. 39 is a nicely tuned 5 chime.
I also really like numbers 66 and 67, the Frisco 6 chime, and use them on my MP engines all the time. But I also use nearly all the 5 chime and 6 chime choices at times.
