The following is a brief, Dale approved commercial posting in according with C&F guidelines.
************************************
Hello~ I am pleased to announce that I am currently offering handmade wooden D whistles for sale. I have had the privilege of learning ( and continuing to learn)the craft from Glenn Schultz of Thin Weasel Whistles.
I currently have finished D whistles in a variety of beautiful and exotic hardwoods such as Bocote, Rosewood, and Cookstown Ironwood with brass tuning slides, and fittings in brass or stainless steel. I also have Kingwood ,Bloodwood, and Blackwood whistles in the works. Custom whistles in the buyer's choice of wood and fitting materials can be ordered, and I would consider using a buyer's own "special" piece of wood to make a whistle, if I deem it suitable for that purpose.
Interested whistlers can contact me by e-mail for further details. Please give your e-mails some sort of whistle related subject line so I don't instantly relegate them to the SPAM junk bin. Thank you for your time. Paul Busman
PS-- You can see a pic of several whistles at:

Probably the worlds most rudimentary webpage!

Just wanted to bump this back up to the top so more people get a chance to find out. Otherwise, it will disappear in 1 day.

I've had a chance to try one of Paul's whistles (I know we're going to look like the mutual admiration society, but...) and I would recommend them. In his picture, I own the second one from the left.
They have a nice amount of back pressure, play crisply, have a touch of chiff and/or air noise and just feel good. The low notes are nice and strong and the volume is pretty well balanced throughout. Plus he's been great to work with - a good communicator.
Here's a sound sample. I'm playing <a href="http://www.tullberg.com/thedonegallass.mp3">"The Donegal Lass"</a> by Brian Finnegan.
Nice whistle, Paul, and I wish you much success,
Erik

I forgot to ignore the child in the background and thought mine had woken up. It's a nice touch and will keep us parents on our toes.On 2002-05-18 04:52, ErikT wrote:

Very nice sounding whistle, and a nice clip.

The whistles, on the other hand, are $175. I'm getting mine while they're a steal.On 2002-05-18 11:39, avanutria wrote:
