Re: Still looking for Bb Thin Weasel
You know that Glenn has been gone for more than six years now, right? Those whistles are held in great esteem by their owners and they rarely come up for sale now. I know I am not parting with any of mine. You might be able to find a Water Weasel in Bb which, while it is not the same as a Thin Weasel, is still quite a good whistle from Glenn's hand. Good luck.

I'd also note that Paul Busman (brewerpaul here) studied whistle making under Glenn. So his Busman Whistles may be of interest.

Re: Still looking for Bb Thin Weasel
It wouldn't hurt to ask Paul to consider making a Bb. Look what happened when we bugged Carey Parks. He's also a former student of Glenn's and while his new Bb is not exactly like Glenn's water weasel it is really similar in construction and it ain't bad. I've got both and I really like the tone/volume feature of Carey's whistle. You could do a lot worse, that's for sure.

Re: Still looking for Bb Thin Weasel
My first high end whistle was a Thin Weasle D cocobolo which I still and will always have both because it's a fine whistle and because Glenn made it. Funny how he used to send me a box of Bflat whistles to choose from and now you just can't get one.
Don't limit your search to Thin Weasles; Glenn made excellent Water Weasels in that key and as part of Bflat/A sets.
If you're just looking for a solid Bflat, don't rule out Susato either - I have 2 and they are excellent.
And what an idea - what about it Paul - a Bflat?

Re: Still looking for Bb Thin Weasel
I don't make Bb, but wish I could. My Thin Weasel Bb is the best whistle I've ever played: any pitch, any maker, any material. One of these days I oughta give it a try just for fun. Who knows...
