http://cgi.ebay.com/HANDMADE-HARDWOOD-WHISTLE-WITH-HANDPAINTED-DESIGN_W0QQitemZ7364534047QQcategoryZ624QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Has anyone tried these whistles? Might try one since they are so cheap. That is unless someone has tried them and their horrible. 
The LOOK horrible, but to each his own, I suppose…
agreed, however, I wonder if they are made by scott sullivan and his wife did the painting. Used to hear a bit about him. Never saw a review here. Who knows.
I just saw another Scott Sullivan whistle and box on Ebay and was going to ask the chiffers about it. Then I figured I’d better do a search. I found this thread asking about a previous auction. And here is a thread from a few years back and a response from the man himself.

Guess he’s making a few more now… Still don’t know much about it though.
I did go ahead and buy several of his whistles. I didn’t care much for the non-tunable whislte. However, the tunable rosewood whistle is a pretty nice whistle. The high b takes quite a bit of breath control, but besides that a nice whistle.. oh also the c nat is not oxxooo, although I can’t remember what it is right off of my head. I do remember that it is easier just to half hole. I have been meaning to do a review. When I get the chance I’ll post one.
