Wooden whistles

[The Danish Piper]

I am considering buying a wooden whistle and came across this maker from Poland.

I think they seems well made.
Does anyone has any experience, with that maker?

What is your experience with wooden whistles in general?

YMMV but I have yet to come across a wooden whistle I would like to have/play.

That said, the maker of the whistles you linked above made half decent noises in the clips on his website. Would need to hear those whistles put through their paces properly before forming any sort of an opinion though.

At the end of the day, when it comes to deciding the suitability of a particular make, it all depends on what you are looking for, what music and what style you are going to put on your instruments.

Another thing with wooden whistles is the upkeep. You need to oil it fairly often, and dry it after use to keep it from cracking. VS my metal whistles, are lucky to get cleaned every now and then lol. I just pick them up, play them, put them down, with no worry. When I had a wooden flute, I wouldnt bother picking it up to play because I'd have to clean it after so that I dont store it wet.

Hi DanishPiper
I have an alto G in maple by this maker. It is well made and easy to tune. The higher upper octave takes a bit more push, but it doesn't screech.

Nice to hear you have experience whit that dealer.
Since I need a wooden whistle for a specific purpose, this could be the way to go.
