Re: Whistle Reviews?
They are very nice whistles made in Korea. The hardwood head is beautifully made and the aluminum tone body shows excellent workmanship. Tuning is done with several O rings fitted into slots, and the whistles come with lots of free spare O rings and grease. There is also the option of using teflon tape if that is your preference. They have a medium volume with a clear, sweet tone, no chiff. Air requirement is on the light/medium side and they are also very responsive. Octave change is very smooth. Anak has a lot of Facebook and YouTube posts. Delivery runs about 3 weeks from my experience.
