Sale in progress. I'll re-post if that doesn't work out (but I think it will).

I have a beautiful wooden whistle in A, made by Glenn A. Schultz Sr. in Oxford, MI under his brand, Thin Weasel Woodwinds, for sale. I have two of them and so one of them never gets played. It should be! This whistle plays beautifully, with even and rich tone. If you haven't dealt with wooden whistl...

Does anybody have knowledge of/opinions on options for low C whistles? I have seen the Howard, Nightingale, Karavaev, Chris Wall, Kakapo, etc.

Hi all,

At this point, all of the whistles have found their new homes. Paul Busman was right: this is the place for serious whistle players. Thanks!

I've been playing whistle for quite awhile, but I'm new to playing wooden ones (I suddenly acquired several in the fall).

Schultz Sr. in Oxford, MI under his brand, Thin Weasel Woodwinds. Every single one of them plays great and...
