They make their instruments out of carbon fiber. Haven’t played these either, but a well known company: Haven’t played these either but nice craftsmanship in wood: Nice sweet tone, very low air requirements, and affordable! Chuck is also very friendly and responsive. He makes aluminum and wood whistles, with the option to have a wood whistle made of Dymondwood (which is a bit more durable and less sensitive than regular wood) 😉 Beautiful craftsmanship from Gene (he was also a luthier at some point). I haven’t played one yet, but there may or may not be one in my closet waiting to be placed under a tree at some point soon. Gary is super responsive too and has a real passion for his craft. Both beautifully crafted with a great warm sound and enough chiff to give them a nice voice and character. Haven’t played them, but another maker of plastic whistles that are reasonably priced:Īluminum (Journeyman III) and Brass (Stealth III) whistles. Plastic, but well made and with a decent sound (less expensive than other materials) even aggressive articulation may be used, often resulting in chirping or chiff. These are the US based makers I’ve found (if I’ve left some out, please reply with additions): 3 Erik Sampson, Erik the Flutemaker Presents Bamboo Sax 101 (Davie. One of the first questions I wanted to answer was: “Where can I buy a well crafted whistle that’s maybe a step above the mass produced variety?”, and I have a list of answers to that as I’ve collected a few different whistles since.
In my journey so far learning the tin whistle, I have been learning much.
