FREEMAN WHISTLES ON BROADWAY ... In February I got a message from Julie Pacheco: "My friend has some of your tweaked whistles and I recently had the pleasure of playing them. I would like to order some for myself. I'll be playing in the pit orchestra for a new Broadway show that starts up in ea...

Richard, you wrote: "I measured from the cutting edge of the blade ... ." According to flutopedia.com: "The acoustic length of a flute sounding the fundamental note is half the wavelength of that note. However, the physical bore length ( measured from the plug to the foot ) is signifi...

Interesting, Richard. The laws of physics are giving me more leeway than I thought. I'm measuring the length from the bottom of the tube to the top of the voicing window, what would be the "cork" if this were a flute headjoint. You're citing a D Feadog as having a length to bore ratio of 3...

When I can get to it I will make wider-bore low F and tenor G whistles built on the same setup I use for the low D tweaked Generations. I expect these will be really great whistles. A standard bore whistle has a length to bore ratio typically between 22.0 and 23.0. For example, a key of D Generation...

Wow. Thanks, Richard. I came over here to post a YouTube video I've made recently comparing Freeman tweaked D Generation whistle vs. untweaked D Generation whistle vs. Freeman tweaked D Bluebird and saw your very kind comments. Thanks for posting that. Heartfelt best wishes and Merry Christmas, Jerry

ANNOUNCING ... After many years of development, finally! The Freeman tweaked LOW F GENERATION WHISTLE is now available. This is a GREAT whistle. I promise you'll love it. (I apologize for my poor playing. As soon as a competent player records a better clip, I'll post it.) https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I'm alive and well, thank you. Here's a message I posted yesterday on the Facebook Tin Whistle / Pennywhistle Resource group page: I’M ACCEPTING WHISTLE ORDERS AGAIN I’ve finally caught up with the backlog of whistle orders. In two weeks, I've completed and mailed 59 whistles. Please, if you've been...

I HAVE WHISTLES AVAILABLE AGAIN ... If you've been thinking of getting a Freeman whistle (or even if you haven't), I'm producing them again and they are available. The COVID work still takes much of my time but I’m managing to get a good supply of whistles done. AND I have tweaked Brass D and Eb Gen...

Freeman tweaked Bnat Generations are available again. I haven't made any of these for several years and many people have asked about them. Please get your orders in, and I'll send them along. Thanks!

The Bluebirds are back! If you've been wanting one of these, please place your order. I have them complete and ready to ship. (I also have some urgent bills to pay and need your help so I very much appreciate the business.) In 2014, Iarla McMahan won the under-12 All-Ireland Championship playing a F...

It doesn't. I don't sell a key of C Mellow Dog. I sell a Mellow Dog D/C set, which is one whistlehead and two (wide-bore D and standard-bore C) tonebodies for $6.45 more than the D Mellow Dog alone. In that context, "C Mellow Dog" comes up, but I don't sell a C Mellow Dog as a stand-alone ...
