ANNOUNCING: The Enat (E major) tweaked Generation.
I designed this key of Enat (E major) Freeman tweaked whistle using a tweaked Generation F whistlehead and a tonebody I make in my workshop to create a very sweet voiced, easy to play Enat whistle. This completes a project I’ve worked on over several years time.
Generation doesn’t make an Enat whistle. The Eb whistle Generation does make uses the same tube diameter and whistlehead as the Generation D whistle, which makes the Eb already a wider-bore whistle. Rather than pushing the length to bore ratio even lower by using a D/Eb whistlehead on the same size tubing, I chose to use the F whistlehead on the next smaller diameter tubing, which is optimal for the Enat key of whistle.

Something’s gone amiss, Casey. I’m behind with some orders that were done through PayPal but not all the way back to December. Let me look into this and see if I can figure out what’s happened.
Orders placed on eBay are filled within three or four business days. Orders I’ve received through PayPal have gone more slowly and I apologize for any delays.
Did you ever look into this? At this point I’d rather just have a refund than the whistle. It was for a project with a visiting professor from France who played Hurdy Gurdy, but the project went on without me and he’s now gone back to France.
Yes, I did find your order and in fact, I completed your whistle this evening. It’s a very nice whistle and I think you’ll be happy with it. It will go out Monday by Priority Mail.
