I have a new batch as well as some reprises for sale:
Whistles all $125 unless otherwise specified. The default sound is a little on the pure side of traditional. Default volume is moderate, possibly a little louder than a Gen or Clare. From left to right:
88 – tulipwood with brass. Very traditional sound, can’t ship outside the US due to new CITES restrictions on rosewoods. I made the mistake of finishing this with linseed oil, so the color is a little washed out. $100
96 – olivewood; this is the one that was on tour, extensively described by reviewers previously
97 – plum/fruit wood with brass. Nice traditional sound, a little breathy, slide needs to be pulled out kinda far (3/8”). $100
Four boxwood whistles, each with a nice clean sound, none too sweet. They have fantastic low notes.
101 – $150
102 – $150
103 – $125, slide needs to be pulled out like #97
104 – $150
105 – American Osage orange with brass. Clear, full sound.
106 – Argentine Osage orange with brass. Clear and full, a little sweeter than #105. Slide needs to be pulled out like #97; has a couple of apparent cracks (backside of the mouthpiece and near the bottom ring in the front), but at no point has either of these gone through the wood or leaked; I’m a bit baffled by them. $75
107 – Bloodwood with aluminum. Traditional sound, nice balance.
111 – Bolivian rosewood with aluminum
112 – tambooti with brass – very strong lower end
113 – goncalo alves with aluminum – not as clear as some in the upper register, very woody
114 – kingwood with brass (no shipping outside US) – a little more powerful and purer than the others, you can really lean into this one.
115 – tulipwood with aluminum (no shipping outside US) – quieter and purer in sound than the others, requires some breath control
