CP: Whorfin Whistles December

Whistle
1

I have some new whistles and a few from last month available:

Left to right:

#73 Cambodian rosewood w/stainless steel fittings: Mellow, traditional sound. $150

#76 Dogwood w/brass: Very mellow sound, RH3 hole is misshapen. $75

#79 Pear wood w/brass: Great player, versatile sound, has a subtle purple streak. $125

#80 Cambodian rose w/brass. Lower air requirements than the others, requires some breath control. $100

#81: Mopane with stainless: robust sound, a little buzz and woodiness. $140

#82: Kingwood and stainless: Robust sound, pure, requires a little push to keep the top of the second octave in tune. $125

#83: Boxwood w/brass: Nice traditional sound, easy player, develops a little (2 mm) warp when dry. $125

#84: Boxwood w/brass: Very pure sound, easy player. [spoken for]

The whistles are in tune for me (I play a little flat) with the slides out as shown.

All prices include shipping in the US; international shipping charged at cost.

The Cambodian rosewood (D. bariensis) has recently been listed by CITES, so can’t be shipped internationally. ;(

Please email with inquiries.

Best high D for slow airs (fluteish sound)

I currently have the mopane and pear whistles in my possession. These are great whistles! I’ll be keeping the mopane and sending the pear back.
I wanted to tell people about the pear whistle. If you are looking for a sweet, pure sounding whistle, this is it. It strikes me as a potentially great recording whistle. Breath requirements are low; it plays almost effortlessly. But the mopane fits my needs more, as I was looking for a nice robust session whistle.
Anyway, no financial interest in this, I just wanted to share my views on a great little whistle that still needs a home.

I decided to make a short video to demonstrate the pear whistle before packing it up to send back:
