CP: Busman whistles available NOW...

Hi all-- we’ll be moving by the end of this month which means dismantling my shop and moving that too, so these will likely be the last whistles that I make for a while. Take a peek…




Note that the first 5 whistles, of beautiful Australian woods plus two of Cocobolo, are not entirely finished, so if the fingerholes look rough and you see little specs of epoxy, etc, don’t worry: they’ll be done when shipped!

From left to right:
IN D:
Minniritchie with stainless steel fittings
Doral with stainless
Bowyakka with brass
Cocobolo with brass
Cocobolo with stainless
Satinwood with stainless

D+ acetal polymer with brass: this was one of my very early D+ and the low C hole is not aligned as well as I’d like, making the reach a bit difficult. It plays just fine as a “regular” D whistle and if you have long pinkies, you can reach the low C. I’m offering this for the regular D whistle price of $250 (I usually charge $265 for D+), and I’ll throw in the shipping within the US.

Eb:
Imbuia with stainless
Padauk with stainless
Eb has not proven to be a popular key, and I’ve had these in the shop for a while now, so if anyone would like a nice Eb whistle, I’m asking $200 each for these.

I’m still taking orders, of course, but I don’t really know how quickly I’ll have the shop up and running in our new home. Thanks.

Wow!, they all look gorgeous Paul, what a stunning selection!

Fine work indeed Paul!

I’ve noticed that myself. In the 1980’s E flat was all the rage. It was hard not to find an E flat session in Galway :laughing: Funny how trends change.

Maybe C# whistles may catch on… :stuck_out_tongue:

Beautiful whistles!

Yes, this is what’s left of the Aussie collection, with wood courtesy of Brad aka Shadowformz
The Australian woods are really wonderful and I look forward to getting more once I’m up and running in the shop again.

Lovely!

I just sent you a PM on one of them. :slight_smile:
