Does anyone know who maker of this whistle is? I've seen it played by multiple different players now. I thought it was an old version Nightingale at first but upon further inspection the logo seems totally different now I'm curious.
Is seen at the beginning of each video

Looks like a Goldie. But the color seems strange -- more like brass than aluminium. So I'm not sure.

Ask the player in the second video. Write out your question in English, copy and paste it into an online English-Russian translator and then send the Russian text to them. Of course you'll have to reverse the process when they send you their response in Russian. Cheers.

Re: What Maker Is This Whistle?
I'm pretty sure that they are made by Alexander Karavaev in Moscow / Russia.
He hand-makes whistles in the Goldie style for quite a while and introduced the Nightingale whistles approx. 2 or 3 years ago.
I was interested in one of his whistles a couple of years ago (4 or 5) when they showed up at ebay occasionally and checked his workshop
where he mentioned custom made ones in brass for e.g. Eluveitie band.
You can see them on his Facebook site (go to June the 5th 2017) -> https://www.facebook.com/pg/whistles.workshop/posts/

- Tell us something.: Can play several instruments at an unimpressive level. Currently most interested in whistling with a side of acoustic guitar.
Re: What Maker Is This Whistle?
AH your right, it is made by alexander. Whats funny is I originally thought Alexander made these but then realized the logo was different than his current ones and thought it wasn't him. But ya, I found the post you are talking about. I ordered one of alexanders standard A's a week ago, if I like it maybe at some point I'll get one of these nice all metal ones.RLindner wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 2:07 am I'm pretty sure that they are made by Alexander Karavaev in Moscow / Russia.
