Mitch will confirm this, but there are two lists in this one thread - one non-tuneable from the spring, and one just forming for the tunable version. There looks to also be a EU tour forming as well.

You are next on the list for the non-tunable tour, followed by Carey. After that, #7 non-tunable gets raffled for a good cause.

I have added you to the USA tunable tour list that now looks like this:

Aanvil
Izzarina
Steamwalker/MTGuru
Tommy
Dyersituations
Carey
gregdidge
sweet potato

Aanvil should be recieving the whistle (#7804 delrin/sterling) within a few days.

Great! That's good news. Can't wait to try them.

All best,

I have had the pleasure of sharing company with this lovely wooden whistle for the past couple of weeks. Others earlier in this thread have described its intonation (very good), volume (louder than my Burke brass, quieter than my Overton), slightly reedy yet very sweet tone, and overall great responsiveness. The bell tone and low E are solid, and the second octave I found to be nicely balanced. The wood (rose alder) is gorgeous to look at and to hold. There are several pictures posted early on in this thread. This is an excellent whistle at a reasonable price. I am eager to try out the tunable model, although this non-tunable was right on in both warm and chilly rooms and I was able to play in tune with several other musicians with no difficulty. I think one of Mitch's whistles will be my next....

Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks again to Mitch for his art and generosity.

LOL,

Soon to be much to your surprise... quite the opposite.

Understood.

I just thought it would be really funny if the first person on the tour list ended up buying the whistle outright such as the last whistle Mitch sent out. Every whistle tour would end as soon as it began.

Well I'm a true believer in the "Touring" system we have here. Even if I have been a little tardy on an occasion.

I don't think I would ever buy and instrument out from under everyone. Its not cricket and I think defeats the entire purpose for doing these things.

You will notice that I didn't say would never.

There very well may be an Oz whistle in my personal future.

I might be lured with a cocus or blackwood.
