Love that whistle.
The person who won the auction got a great deal.
I consider the Hudson Wind the best metal whistle I’ve ever played.
I treasure mine.

Ya, what ever happened to that guy??
The last time I talked to Peter, he had lost his shop. When the economy went south, he was having a tough time of it. He did find some work, but it was for someone else and who enjoys that? That was probably a year or two ago.
I just tried to find out what he has on his website, but the site is apparently gone. That’s really too bad.
Looks like those who have one, just happen to have a piece of history. That is one fine whistle.
Peter, where ever you are, all the best to you and thank you for designing and producing one of the best whistles ever made. Sure hope we haven’t heard the last of you.
Mike
