Early this week I had the great pleasure of briefly talking and meeting with John Sindt (as well as hearing him play two hornpipes he had recently learned.) I know there has been a lot of talk over the years about whether John is still making whistles. When I mentioned that to him, he indicated that he planned to continue making whistles as long as he is physically able to. I can only hope to be as spry and active as he is when I am 77.
And he makes great whistles. I love my new D.
That is great news that John Sindt is still going strong at 77 and continuing to make whistles. Playing the Sindt whistle for Trad music must be the longevity factor. 
If I didn’t already have a Sindt whistle I’d wait out eternity to get one. 
I’ll be playing my Sindt whistle Saturday here:
OK Ytliek, I have directions to there, however it is 1745.8 miles 
Hi Tommy,
Well ya just never know as once the party gets started who knows how long the run. I’ll play a little louder for those folks at a distance as music sometimes travels. 
Anyone is welcome. Cash is king. 
I’m so glad to hear that John is still going strong! I absolutely LOVE my Sindt whistles and I honor him as a master whistle maker.
Definitely up there with the best. I have 4 of John’s whistles and they are all superb. And a lovely person to deal with too!
