Questions about GFM Whistles

I should say that the low G that Avery is talking about is not going to be forsale in the near future. I am experementing with making instruments out of white 1/2" PVC pipe and this is one of the results. I have made a few instruments from that. The high D is huge, tunable, and very loud with big holes. It cannot make the top 3 notes very reliably, but the low register sounds great. The ones that I have made below Bb sound good across the scale, but they are really hard to make and each one requires special attention in order to get right. I am trying to figure out how to make jigs that I can use to reliably manufacture them so I can sell them for less than $300. Maybe early next year they will be ready. (maybe not)
