I have, indeed, thought of making a d fife. That's down the road.

Nancy and others, if you would like to preorder (I mean, be on my list, in order), send me an e-mail and I will start a list. The price will be somewhere around $280.

For the plug, while amber would truly be the cats meow how about lucite for a more afordable option? Its' clearity would compliment the silver very nicely I think... I don't know, however, if it turns yellow in time like most clear plastics.

Beautiful work, Jessie-- what we can see anyway

If the bore of the head is perfectly round, I'd be happy to fit a Delrin fipple for you, maybe an exotic wood.

Let us know when you have a sound clip available.

The problem is not one plug, but rather one that I can reproduce (unless, of course, you'd like to make all of them for me).

I'm curious now: How did you do the voicing without being able to hear it? Did you make a prototype in a cheaper material first, or go straight to silver?

Is this because my daughter asked for a PLAYABLE Copeland sterling silver pendant?

Best,

Very nice Jessie. Its beautiful. I personally think Amber would be nice but my number one choice would be black Jade. I don't know if you have the equipment to do lapidary work. In another life I made a number of jewelry pieces with black jade and sterling silver. They go very well together. I don't even know if the material is available anymore. It is a beautiful whistle whatever you plug it with.

Lots of applause

No, I do not have the equipment or expertise to do lapidary work.

Glauber, I know how it will sound because I did try a previous (unfinished) one, not in silver, with the same sounding dimensions. The plug will have to be .010" smaller in diameter than the previous one, because the old plug doesn't quite fit. But that small difference in diameter can be compensated for in the voicing, so it will sound the same.

Uh, no.

Jessie, I should have seen this coming.

From the picture, I think the only thing I could say to begin to do it justice is "Wow!"

I am amazed can't wait till one is done I vote Derlin for the plug.

What about imitation ivory for the plug? It has all those cool lines in it, but it is stable.
