Whistles
We are currently building whistles in 3 keys; i.e:, Eb, D and C. They are available in 2 forms, one with a mouthpiece primarily for session playing (loud and requiring a little more air) and a second with a mouthpiece for those who want a little quieter whistle requiring a little less air. The first whistle can be seen in Figure 1 and the second in Figure 2. |

All whistle mouth pieces are constructed using Delrin, a very durable, completely moisture resistant polymer. Whistle tubes are available in (but are not limited to) Blackwood, Cocobolo, Purple Heart and Iron Wood (IPE). Tubes are also available constructed in Dymondwood, a very durable, moisture resistant dyed wood/epoxy laminate. The Dymondwood is available in Cocobolo, Red, Black and Green dyed woods. Whistle tubes are also available in Delrin making for a very maintenance free whistle. All tuning slides and ferrules are constructed using brass.Example of the whistles tube materials are as follows: |
