I think you missed ALba. Don't take this as an endorsement though. I have one and it is beautiful to behold and finished masterfully. Just doesn't sound all that great (at $150) and requires standby oxygen. The collector in me won't part with it. Philo

Hey there bart, just found this chiff & fipple thing. saw your reference to nova scotia. I was hitching through there 'bout three years ago and left a low Eb whistle in the red shoe pub in Mabou, inverness county. I made it for the pub with some plumbing and a chainsaw file. Can't remember it too well but think it played O.K. Big stretch for bottom hole though. Made a Bb whistle for a wee lassie in a nearby farm too where I stayed. You anywhere near those parts? Awesome part of the world, might emigrate there!!
P.S you can buy Susatos in halifax in a wee shop near a library and not far from a college or something.

Hey there! I think the list of Hoovers is incomplete as well, and was Parkhurst on the list, I can't remember!

And Bart, I am in the Annapolis Valley, here in NS! Where are you?

Hard to believe how many whistles are available. Must be a popular activity!

I to am from Nova Scotia (Clare), as said above the only shop to carry any amount of whistles that I am aware in the province is Folklore in Halifax.

They stock lower end whistles, high & low, the usual types plus some from India.

Good to see there is another C&F'er in N.S., hello WhistlerWannaBe, also I believe Lark is from the Kentville area...

It will be interesting to see the final list, is Busman mentioned above, (great whistle).
