I am interested in hearing from new or little known whistle and flute makers. If you have a site that we can check out that would be great!
Keep in mind Obey the rules and don’t make it a commerical post.
I think others in search of that perfect or unusual whistle or flute might be interested too.

There are lots of helpful reviews in the main website;
also you will find plenty of info by searching the
whistle and flute boards. Best
Yes, I have found a lot of information on all the TOP brands but I want info on the new makers. The ones just getting started in the business or are just doing this as a hobby but someday may be doing this as a profession. Just think…What if this board would have been around when Ol’ Mr. Clarke made his first whistles. 
Not to mention, I like having the unusual. How boring it would be if everyone all played the same type of whistle!

Ahh, we Americans are so lazy. Maybe we should write to our cable and satellite companies to request they start an all whistle infomercial channel, that way we can all just lay around on the couch with the remote, watching the whistle ads while eating Cheetos and drinking beer. I mean it’s hard to type or scroll through postings with the Cheetos in one hand and the beer in the other. (Lite beer of course, which makes stuffing my face with Cheetos okay…BURRRRP!! Excuse me!)

Congratulations Loren! for being the first to go off topic! With your NEGETIVE remark! I warned you and even asked nicely but you just still just had to do it.
No, you warned me not to make any negative reply about the POSTINGS, and I did no such thing.
Crap, I just spilled beer on the keyboard, and now it’s mixing with the Cheeto crumbs…
Raven, I dislike any posts which go against the rules, and that does include commercial posts from makers. The rules are there for a reason, you know. And ravensdream saying “please post any updates here” doesn’t make the rules go away. The rules guiding commercial posting are still there, no matter how much you’d like everybody to reply to your post with “NEW WHISTLES FOR SALE”.
You’re warning people not to respond to your request for people to break the rules Dale has outlined? You do realise that by going out of your way to state you don’t want a certain type of response you’re inviting them in, don’t you?
This doesn’t really contradict Jim’s advice. Reviews give you independent feedback on whistles. Now, if that’s not what you want …
New makers get to announce their arrival and to have their products reviewed. Syn whistles made a big splash here a while back and Davey’s whistles are getting a lot of positive attention. The information is there if you look for it, except in those rare cases in which a whistle comes to light that nobody’s played yet.
What we don’t have is an up to date listing of whistle makers so you can do a search for their announcements and for reviews. Dale announced the need for help with an update a few months back. I suppose we’ll hear news of that when something is about to happen.
Now, if what you really want is a seriously unusual whistle, just start a thread asking people for names of little-known whistle makers and watch the response.
Folks, this is quickly approaching that ugly phenomena known as “thread hijacking.”
Raven is way too nice to get treated this way.

I agree with Wombat in this case, raven. Start the little-known whistles thread and see what happens.
Ok, perhaps I haven’t worded it right and I appreciate the guidence in wording it. I would never in intentionally go against the rules and I am not trying to now. I brought up this topic because of another one that mentioned that Alan made flutes. I didn’t know that until I read that. That made me wonder just how many people here did make whistles and flutes!
If a list of people is what I should be asking then OK that’s what I will do! I will go back and edit my topic.
Raven
i believe this maker is outstanding, if you don’t mind a long wait http://www.worldmusic.de/pipes/english/prices_2.html#whistles
Thanks Lixnaw,
Now this is just what I meant in the first place!

I actually thought it was the MODERATOR’S job to MODERATE the forum.
I could be wrong though. :roll:
