Hi everyone! I had posted this over on the whistle forum last week and meant to cross post it here, but forgot until now! So, here it is!
Here’s my new flute/whistle stand! It was built by Greg Smith of Bare Foot Bay, Florida. Some of you may be familiar with his work via EBAY. There has been some talk here about the small circular stands he builds for penny whistles. I actually purchased one of those and liked it so much that I contacted him to see if he could build a stand that would accomodate my penny whistles, low whistles, and flutes. We colloborated on the project and this is the end result. I am completely thrilled with the finished product.
This particular stand holds 8 large instruments on the side racks - anything from a Boehm system flute down to an Alto A whistle. The top circular section holds 12 penny whistles - will accomodate D, C, Bb, A, etc. He also built in a hinged box where I can store my small percussion instruments. The workmanship on this stand is nothing short of spectacular. All the instrument contact points are lined with quality felt. The woodworking is perfectly sanded and smooth. The stand is lightweight, yet incredibly stable. Greg is a creative, friendly, and responsible person to work with. I’ve been in great need for quite some time for a “do it all” type stand. I’m so glad I contacted him.
Greg has recently begun work on a new website to showcase his handy work. It is currently under construction: www.whistlestands.com.
You can also email him at whistlestands@gmail.com. If you are in the market for a new stand built to your specifications, I’d reccommend Greg without reservation.
