List of whistle makers?
List of whistle makers?
Is there a list of whistle makers, similar in content to the list of Irish flute makers on A Guide To The Irish Flute? I would like to pick up a few more toys, but I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks to all who reply.
With best regards,
Pfreddee(Stephen)

Re: List of whistle makers?
If we're making a list, let's not forget a few I'm familiar with:
Clarkes - obviously. Their whistles may not be to everyone's taste, but they're definitely different.
Clare Whistles - Dave Le Bas makes a nice basic two-piece amongst others
Waltons - their lightweight "Little Black Whistle" needs to be experienced
Feadog - not my favourite, but a lot of people like them

Re: List of whistle makers?
Here are some sites I had bookmarked, but be warned that many of these lists are very much out of date.

http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Instrume ... le/Makers/
http://www.whistletutor.com/resources
http://whistle.jeffleff.com/makers.html
...and to the list that's being accumulated, I'd add Guido Gonzato.

Re: List of whistle makers?
Hi all ... Sorry I don't have time right now ... But one of our Chiffboard members is currently in the process of compiling just such a comprehensive, updated list, which we hope to make available soon.
Unfortunately, your ChiffCo. staff are completely swamped at the moment by a wave of projects. As they say ... not an excuse, just an explanation ...

Re: List of whistle makers?
That's some welcome news. I remember a couple of years ago when I was looking around for info on whistle makers, it was very frustrating when half the links on those sites were no longer working. That's going to be a great resource for folks.MTGuru wrote:....one of our Chiffboard members is currently in the process of compiling just such a comprehensive, updated list, which we hope to make available soon.

Re: List of whistle makers?
Yes, he is, and yes, he does. I am not sure how long it will take me, as I am busy with other things as well, but I hope to have it compiled as soon as possible.MTGuru wrote:...

(If you think it's easy to track down reviews, price ranges and contact info for 30+ makers, let's see you do it. )

Re: List of whistle makers?
I haven't seen Hans Bracker mentioned yet. Very fine whistle maker and frequent contributor to the Chiff & Fipple.
