Re: Photos of your collection!

Thanks. I’m afraid that I made just the one for myself. It went through a number of manifestations before I got the balance and tuning right though!
If you want info on how it’s built then please ask .... no problem. It’s pretty straightforward.
Currently working on a low D.

Re: Photos of your collection!

I have a single whistle that I treasure. I try to play it every day ….. each time I do it makes me smile :)

Handmade in copper.

Re: Copper as a whistle making material

I just finished a low D whistle. Sounds good. Copper is great and I sand with 1500 wet sanding paper so automotive clear will stick (I tried mirror buff but clear wont stick but brass lacquer will but expensive and wont ship to Alaska). If anyone wants one let me know. I can make D4 or D5(A 440Hz)....
