i wich that only one of them belonged to me, a nice low C!
Ditto!- I’ve got one on order, can’t wait to try it out on some of those lovely slow airs when it arrives!
This is for sure one of mine 
Copy or what
So you both thought the first picture was of my whistles? 
Where did you get the picture from? That might give a clue.
Steven
It was sent to me 
and I thought it would be good to see if other people thought the whistles looked a hell of a lot like mine.
i spotted the the grooves, but non of the is as groovy and bonny as yours stacey!! they also can not sound half as good as yours!!!
Stacey, where’s the ones with the 
smiley fipples? 
At a glance they looked similar-obviously the distinctive ‘Alba’ logo was absent-I thought that this might be a batch that was due for the final finishing touches to be added.
Hi Alba,
I thought they looked similar but the head is shorter than the one on my alto G so I didn’t comment. I don’t think they look as satiny as mine and the the window isn’t the same. Sorry, I’ve got no answer either!
Cheers,
Kathy
That’s the thanks you get for putting such a detailed whistle making tutorial on your website for all the world to see… it was bound to happen sooner or later! 
Seriously though, it is rather underhanded to so blatantly copy someone else’s work like that… which reminds me of someone else, but I’ll not provoke anyone’s anger by mentioning his name. 
Speaking of your whistle making tutorial, Stacey… it was a real help to me recently when I needed to find a better way to cut the lip radius of my whistle heads.
Your method of milling it works very well… thanks for the tip!
My little milling machine fitted with the horizontal conversion kit makes light work of a job that used to be the most difficult part of whistle making for me.
Wow, that’s a close copy. Close or no close - it’s the workmanship that counts.
It’s amazing that someone would bother to exactly copy a whistle - there are so many ways to make a whistle.
Stacey, Don’t they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
You better get a patent on your design!
I bet they don’t sound as good as yours do.
Cheers,
Kathy
Edited to remove a dumb smiley
Thats what I thought.
This is part of an E Message Text: Hi,
I live in South Africa and have been manufacturing whistles very similar to your design.
it went on to say how cheap it was to make them there,and did I was
interested in perhaps some sort of manufacture agreement, let him know. Perhaps we can be of mutual benefit.
So I asked for the pictures, and thats what I got
Cool Gary.
Its a good job I have the new one up my sleeve 
Oh an thaks for your support guys its at times like these you find out who’s who 
Hi Stacey, THAT just beggers belief!!-the ‘neck’ of some folk!
If it don’t have “Alba” on it, it ain’t a scottish whistle. eh?
As Mike Myers said: “If it’s not scottish…It’s CRAP!”
As always, to the point Bagfed
But does it have that “Happy Birtday, Mister President” sound? There’s only one Alba, methinks.
