Just got a Sindt D

[bigskybri]

I've read w/ interest some of the posts about Sindt whistles. In a current thread a chiffer talks about being wanting to be buried w/ his Sindt. I had a chance to buy a used Sindt a couple weeks ago and got it in the mail on Friday. It is a very nice sounding whistle. I can see why it's highly sought after. Don't know if I'll go as far as being buried w/ it, but maybe as I continue to play it, I'll start feeling the same way. It is going to become my go-to whistle.

Mine looks to have come from an estate sale (or some sort of sale). I bought it from a 3rd party who didn't know what they had. So for those currently looking for used ones, don't give up. There are used ones out there waiting to be found.

Bigskybri,
John Sindt makes an incredible whistle and you are fortunate to have aquired one. Enjoy your new whistle. As time spent on your Sindt whistle grows, so will your love for the wonderful playing characteristics inherent to the superb craftsmanship demonstrated by John in making these great instruments. Have fun with it!

SINDTcerely,
Cayden

Don't be buried with it. Pass it on to your kids or grandkids and let people keep on enjoying it.

Or put it in your estate sale....

Was this the Sendt [sic] whistle that I saw advertised somewhere?

Best wishes.

No, somebody was selling that Sendt for their wife, supposedly.

Paul,
I agree completey and will certainly leave mine behind for someone else to enjoy making music with the way I have. Not only that, it is reported that tone hole coverage with those skinny, boney, corpse fingers is less than adequate and that results in squeeks and squawks regardless of if one is playing a Sindt or a very humble and untweaked Generation.

Morbidly yours,
Cayden

You could adopt me if you like.

Thanks. Got a hunch it will work out just fine.

I was able to play w/ a fiddle player for about 30 minutes right after picking it up on Friday @ a weekly lunch hour music jam (fortunately I had the afternoon off). It sounded great w/ him. I love my old Gen's, but this is going to be my number one whistle. John certainly knows how to make them

It wasn't advertised as a whistle or a Sindt. Properly described and it would have been beyond my budget.

Boy, I share one personal sentimental thought with you guys and look what happens. Where's the love?

Enjoy the Sindt.

Out of curiosity, how do you get on with the absence of an in-tune OXXOOO Cnat?

I sent mine to Marc Löfgren plus a Feadóg tube he fitted to the Sindt head, the result - awesomeness!

[Mikethebook]

Interesting! Would it work with Generation tube too do you think?

[Mr.Gumby]

That would work, although size are slightly different I believe.


Search old posts by Bloomfield, about his Sindt-dog. If you're lucky his old webpage with description of a DIY conversion is still up.

Surprisingly, after ten years, it is (adding to the strong impression there's little new being discussed on the forums) : Bloomfield's improved Sindt D whistle
