My Sindts are coming! I got the whole set and they’re on the way!
Just got the email that they have been shipped. 9 months of waiting are over!
<Ooops. I think I wet myself.>
What is the current wait for a Sindt?
Jeff,you lucky dog!
If I had to do it all over I would place an order right now. But alas I have too many whistles already and cannot honestly justify a complete order of Sindts.
But you, newbies out there, learn from our mistakes and order now!
S.
Congratulations! You will not be dissappointed. John makes lovely instruments. Out of all the whistles I have tried, they are among my most favourites!
Enjoy!
Congratulations! I love my Sindts (soprano D and Eb) and play them more than any other whistle, including my Copeland. Just be sure to warm them very well before you play. Have fun - you probably won’t be seen outside your home for awhile…
Blaine,
If the current waiting time is that same as when I ordered mine, it is nine months. Mine look to be right on time, since I ordered them last December or so.
I haven’t seen them at the door yet - they were shipped three days ago - but I’m about to pass out from the tension.
Elisabeth,
Warm them? Sounds like a pleasant pastime, but how warm? Over the stove? 
Whistlepeg,
Do you remember how the whistles were shipped? UPS? USPS? FedEX?

Jeff,
I seem to recall receiving my Sindts via USPS.
You’re gonna love those whistles man!

Anyone have a handy link to info about Sindts? I’m a newbie and have never heard of them.
Loren,
Oh great. Now I have to find out when USPS delivers. I suspect they don’t deliver on Saturday.
avanutria,
You can always start right here on the ChiffandFipple:

(Don’t mind the stains. I’ve been handling that page over and over for the last 9 months.)

You’re going to like your Sindt(s). Aside from the pure sweet tone, I like the structure of the mouthpiece. It has the mark of excellence in craftsmanship.
