It’s late, and my imagination is wandering.
I’ve heard of some neat fipple / tube swapping (Mellow Dogs &c) but I was wondering about other hybrids you might have heard of.
In addition, a bunch of glass, graphite, Monel and kevlar scraps from fly-rods has got me wondering about cool materials for whistles. What’s out there? Any Rumors? Anyone tried to reproduce a favourite whistle on a CNC prototyping rig?
Here are some instruments that may interest you. www.oddmusic.com click on the gallery.
Brace yourself.
Bring this one to your next session and make new friends!
Those are some cool looking things.
I like the nano guitar that actually plays!
I admit this isn’t weird ,exotic or way out there but I bought some black Walton fipples and they make a very good whistle combined with a Gen nickle d tube. Much eaisier than all the sanding,cutting, gluing etc. fipple tweaks.

you don’t think that posting comments about black Walton fipples combined with Generation nickle d tubes is wierd? Ask you girlfriend or co-workers how wierd that is.

So the whistle tweak itself isn’t weird but posting it in a public forum is. I somehow feel exposed 
Try not to worry about it Toughknot, after all, birds of a feather whistle togeather. 
This guy is making some interesting flutes with non traditional materials. I especially like the springless key action. Very ingenious.
In reply to Scott’s post…
Wow! those are phat! I wish they had more pics and some pricing. Even thought I’m not into flutes, I’m gonna have to give them a call tomorrow and get some more info.
Well Scott, that is interesting. I would like to see a carbon flute and hear it.
I saw pricing a while ago. I want to say they were 6000-8000 each but now Im’ not so sure. I think there are some dealer links on the site that list phone numbers so you can call for pricing an availability.
