Hello Sindt owners!
I’m looking for a C (and possibly any other non-D Sindts.Eb would be nice). I have no problem placing an order with Mr. Sindt. I’m glad to give him my business. However, one thing I love about the whistle community is how we recycle our whistle-sell old non used ones, trade for a different sound. Plus, I don’t want to have to wait!
Any way, if anyone would like to sell me a Sindt C, please let me know!
Thanks!

This will be of no use except to fuel your search, but I acquired my Sindt C almost unintentionally and now have this to say:
Who would ever give up a Sindt!!
Emmline! Sssssshhhhhh!!! 
There is a sindt posted on Ebay. I think I saw it on there two nights ago.
Yep, right here- no, it’s not me.

Oh, but now that I look at your message, I see that you want a NON-D, and the one on Ebay is a D.
Has a good C natural either half hole or crossfingered
Hmmm, if that whistle has a good crossfingered CNat, it’s a collection whistle!
BTW… What is the average waiting time for a Sindt now days?
Sara (who also has several Sindts she wouldn’t want to give up)
I think that the current waiting time for Sindts is eight months plus-I say ‘think’ and not ‘know’ because I ordered a Sindt ‘C’ at the start of the year,and shortly after changed my e-mail address,and I don’t think that I let John (and his wife, Ann, who attends to e-mails,etc) know! 
I am a great fan of John’s work-I have D,Eb(esp. fine!),and a A/Bb set.
Some people have said that they think that his whistles are a little too ‘clean’ and ‘characterless’-I think that they play as ‘good’
traditional ‘Generation’ type whistles.
I think that whatever your taste in whistle,you could not deny that John’s work is of the highest order of craftsmanship-I’m certainly proud to own examples his instruments,and would never part with them.NUFF SAID! 
Put your order in and wait; IMHO, the C is the class of the Sindt line.

I gave up a couple awhile back (and from a writer, I’d expect a question mark at the end of that question:). I liked the sound of the D, but I really didn’t like the weight of the head. I don’t mind a heavy whistle, but having all the weight at the head just didn’t suit me. The A was way too pure and sweet sounding for my taste.
I think that the current waiting time for Sindts is eight months plus-
Oh, it’s definitely"plus." I ordered a D last March, and still haven’t heard a peep. His wife told me it would be 9 months then, but I think that was optimistic. It took my friend 1 year to get hers.
A few weeks ago I inquired about current models and waite times…
John said that he was currently at 11 months…yikes!!

You could get an Eb tube for your d whistle.
Oh no…don’t go all Bloomfield-esque on me!
(that’s what editors are for!)
Couldn’t that phrase be used as some sort of emphatic statement, thus, not rendering it a question?

I agree with Emmie! I recently STOLE a Sindt C for ~$70 bucks and now consider it PRICELESS (hey, I think there’s a credit card commercial in here)
I own about 25 whistles, and some very good (Overton, Cheiftain, Burke, Dixon, etc.) But the Sindt is the BOMB!!!. I don’t think I’ll ever part with it.
I lucked out over the summer and posted something like this and a nice person offered me a trade I couldn’t pass up, so now I have a Sindt C (that I wouldn’t part with). But hey, a Humphrey C sounds very similar, and just as good as any Sindt. And the wait isn’t bad at all.
I was really impressed with blackhawk’s Humphrey C - a very nice whistle.
Though I’m actually pretty happy with my collection of high whistles these days, I’m very tempted by the thought of a Humphrey in just intonation. The price is reasonable, too.
Ok, I see…
It’s a great product with increased scarcity which drives up the price…
So, I’ll pay $110 for a Sindt soprano C. Or I if any one wants, I’ll tade a Burke brass soprano C. Any takers? PM me.
