339 whistles ...

… completed in the past 14 days.

I may actually be able to make a living doing this.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Wow! That is very impressive Jerry! Congratulations!

Wow, great work Jerry! I love the Generation set I bought from you.

Thanks!

So which whistle is getting the bulk of your orders these days, if that’s not too personal of a question?

Lots of tweaked Generations, mostly in D, Bb and low G (including a fair number of Generation sets of the six whistles from high G down to Bb), lots of Mellow Dogs and Mellow Dog D/C sets, lots of Blackbirds and Bluebirds, mostly in D, lots of tweaked two-piece Clare D pocket whistles.

I’m working on prototypes for a quiet D whistle. If this produces a good instrument, I’ll be introducing the Freeman quiet whistle next.

And it looks like I have a partner in China, well placed in the Irish music community there, who will be importing my whistles for the Chinese market.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Jerry,
Very glad to see the success you are realizing from all of your research and development, and hard work. You are not the Master of tweaking by chance! You certainly are a true resource to whistle players throughout the world. Keep up the great work! :thumbsup: Hardly a day goes by that I don’t play my Blackbirds, Bluebirds, and my Freeman Tweaked Gens in F, Bb, and low G. :smiley:

I am sure there will be one of those two piece Clare whistles in my future. Always nice to know that “Tweakdom Central” is just twenty minutes away. :smiley:

Best Regards,

Hi Jerry,
i read somewhere that the world whistle market was in the order of 1,000,000 units per year. If you can leave 1% of that for me, that would be fine.
cheers, Erle.

Nice work Jerry. I guess that’s what happens when you make an awesome product and stand behind it. I have quite a few of your whistles and have given some away for others to enjoy too. The low A that I recently got from you is just great. That quiet whistle sounds interesting, I’ll probably be needing one of those when they become available.

For what it’s worth, I sold off my high-end whistles, and my only high D is your Bluebird now.

I sat next to someone with one of your whistles at a class recently and it sounded absolutely gorgeous

339 whistles…sounds like a kid’s song…take one down, pass it around, 338 whistles (ad nauseum)

Best wishes.

“339 whistles… Led the big parade…”

Well done Jerry!

Tommy

And we’re off…

Best wishes.

Jerry, nicely done, just keep it going, and make it 340 'cause the check is in the mail. :thumbsup:

Notwithstanding that Jerry’s Bluebird is among the finest and best value whistles on the planet, I’m thinking there will always be a market for such as yourself as well Erle.
