Dancing Stickmen - anyone have their whistles?

Whistle
1

I just found a site called the Dancing Stickmen that sells primivite instruments. They have a bone whistle and a bone tabor pipe that both look pretty cool. The whistles they will tune in a modal minor (perfect for me, since I do Middle-Eastern dance & music).

But I’ve never heard of these guys and I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience in dealing with them? The whistles and pipes are only $20 each so it’s not TOO much of an investment if it goes awry, but I’m just curious if anyone knows their work.

Here’s the link, if you’re interested.

I have been tempted to get one several times. I have tried to make that kind of mouthpiece work and never been sucessful. Having a functional model around might make a difference. It is a lot easier to copy someone else’s work than to figure it out myself.

At any rate, I have never played one of his instruments, but I have had the site bookmarked for over a year.

Well, I think I will try one of the bone whistles. I will post a little review once I get it.
