Those of you who have a Whisper, how do you like them ? what other
wheels have you used? How do they compare? How close is the splash pan
to the wheel head from the top and sides? I know it is called a Whisper
but do they make a humming sound? If so is it lower pitched like the old
Shimpos? I have tried a few different wheels and two things that drive
me crazy are not being able to get the wheel steady at a slow speed and
a whiney drive. Constant high pitch sounds drive me crazy.

Johanna,
I have used a couple of Brents, an old Shimpo RK and own a VL Lite in
the studio as well as my Whisper that I have had for 3 years. I love my
Whisper and unless something drastic were to happen, it's the only wheel I
will own or buy in the future. The only other wheel I thought about before
buying the Whisper 3 years ago, was the Thomas Stuart and I never got a
chance to try one. The Whisper seriously doesn't make any noise at all, at
least mine doesn't. The splash pan is about 3" away from the wheel head.
Features I like are the fact that you get a steady wheel at any speed, when
you move the pedal to stop, it stops and the wheel head free wheels like a
banding wheel when it's not running. That just my couple cents worth.

Dear Johanna,
I did reply to this, but maybe that vanished as well.
Basically I said that my version (looks the same as Taylor's), has the
larger wheelhead which is a bit less than a hand thickness below the Tray
rim, and a hand thickness plus a bit from the wheelhead edge to the tray.
I also said mine is so quiet I can hear Mice fart!
