I have a new set of wisitles for sale. The pics:
Left to right:
#73 Cambodian rosewood w/stainless steel fittings. Mellow, traditional sound. $150
#74 Purpleheart w/brass. Open, purer sound, very easy player. [spoken for]
#76 Dogwood w/brass. Very mellow sound, RH3 hole is misshapen. $75
#77 Pear wood (a tree that fell down in a storm in a friend’s yard) w/brass. Mellow, very easy blower. $115
#78 Pear as above w/brass. Purer sound, very easy blower. [spoken for]
#79 Pear wood from a commercial supplier 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. $125
These are all in tune with the slide out about 3-5 mm. All have been complete for several months, and have gone through the humid Mid-Atlantic summer and the beginning of heating season with the wood stove. The rosewood whistles are unfinished except for some wax on the outside; the others have been dipped in linseed oil twice.
. . .#52 from a year or two ago, very pure sound, all wood w/slide. . . [spoken for]
