I came home today to find that my dog chewed up my brand new water weasel high D! The mouth piece was completly destroyed. The part were another tube starts for the top part is fine. I was wondering if there is any way that I could get it fixed or if I should just get a new whistle.
Ahhh… I know how frustrating that is! My dog the same thing with one of my high end whistles about a year ago. I contacted the maker and he was able to fix it - good as new. I would contact Glenn.
Sorry for you loss…

You know, if you follow the dog around for long enough, you’re bound to get the mouth piece back. lol
Fix the dog. I don’t know about the whistle…
You know, they say you can put Cayenne pepper sauce on it - but don’t forget about it when you start to play it. 
I too have suffered the wrath of my dog. I discovered this morning that my whistling has come to a complete halt until I can round up another whistle. I indeed have made a rookie mistake by only having 1 measly whistle in my supply. Oh woe is me for I have not another to make beautiful music in the air. Dare I blow on this recorder until the arrival of an Elfsong? I think not. Check out the unbelievable horror of my Walton’s destruction. Thank you in advance for your kind words.
My two cats would never chew up a whistle..just maybe scratch the furniture. Sorry for your loss. Perhaps you should loose the dog.
I sympathise. My first Susato was the cream one and the dog re engineered some of the holes and turned the tube oval at the bottom. I bought a Dixon next and she has never touched any of my whistles since. I often wonder what this means? I like to think she prefers the Dixons as although I had the urge to knock six bells out of her we just yelled at her. That’s always enough to make her look guilty. But, she usually does the same daft thing again.
You know, that’s one good thing about Generations. I have two Gen Ebs who have suffered the attentions of both my dog and a teething child (yes, on the mouthpiece!) and, while a bit raggedy looking, are still playable. Maybe Gen could use them in an advertising campaign…hmmm…“takes a peeling and keeps on reeling”??? 
My sympathies on your loss.

I know how you feel. I slammed a Ralph Sweet Blackwood in the car door acouple of years ago. I cried…
my rats pissed into the piano (no joke)
Another reason to play Overtons: A match for any dog’s teeth, and rat’s piss washes right off.

Claudine,I think your rats ACTUALLY ‘PREPARED’ your piano.I think that John Cage would perhaps have written a special piece for it!
