Hi Tom,
Good to see and hear old rarities here!

I guess it's fair to weigh in here. Yes I still make whistles one at a time to accommodate individual preferences which we discuss via email.

For what it's worth: June 3rd 2006 I was thinking of having a contest this month ( well it was my webmaster's idea and a good one, ...
