Remember a great whistle: Impempe

Post by arnie »

I just received 3 Impempe whistles from Ian Turnbull. They only took a week to get from South Africa to then Netherlands. I've got a D, C and F. WHAT A BEAUTIES! And WHAT A SOUND! They look really fantastic and sound very bright and focused. I was a bit afraid they were very soft, but they aren't. Their volume can be compared with my old Dixon alloy. They're worth their price three times. Ian is a very nice guy to deal with and whose whistles I think should be a common name between the Burkes, Overtons, Albas, etc. I'm in love with Impempe!

I have an Impempe Bb that is very good. Ian's a great guy to deal with, too.

I would add my vote to Impempe and Ian.
Both the whistles and the person are quality!

Are any of the various whistle resellers carrying these whistles? I noticed Ian only accepts payment via mail or bank transfer. I wondered if anyone else was distributing for him.

Sorry, no distributors yet - only available through me or the local music stores if you are in SA.
