FT wooden keyed whistle in C/ csakan/ flageolet for repair
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2017 8:10 am
Unique wooden flageolet / csakan with a bellnote of C with six Keys.
Seems to be a:440. I've never seen one that wasn't a D.
Fipple blade is chipped/ damaged. Grenadilla/ nickel keys all working but with old original pads.
I have just blu taced in a piece of plastic on the underside of the blade so I could get a quick sound sample.
Really the trader would need to do this and add a mixture of wood dust and epoxy or ca glue and epoxy and voice the whistle. Alternatively I think a recorder repairer could easily tackle this.

Anyway fixing this is not a priority at the moment too many other repair projects.
It could be done easily.
Interested in a good B whistle
Or B tipple flute or any bamboo flute
Or anything really ?
If there is no interest in a trade I will go ahead with the repairs and sell it on.
