June CP from Thornton Whistles!

Hi everybody.
I've been getting some great feedback from my new wooden whistles.
The general feedback is that they have good lower octave volume and strong tone while the second octave is still a pinch louder but the wood body has a mellowing effect on the very high notes.
It was my intention to create such an instrument so I'm glad that others have found these traits to be present too.
Here's a few clips to enjoy.

So, for the next 10 customers I get I'll include a complementary "Wissel" which is a little flute shaped pendant/brooch that I make too.

I will say, as of today, I have a 2 week wait on these wooden whistles but I have a 2/3 day turnaround on my regular D whistles.

And, about a 3 week wait for the new A whistle

Also, please forgive the rustic recordings but I wanted them to be as honest as possible so I recorded the clips in my workshop with my phone.
All feedback and questions are welcome and thanks for listening!!
