It's a nice looking whistle by the picture. I can't wait to hear about how it sounds, plays, etc.-

But it looks like a Howard, not Howard himself but the whistles he makes.

It seems to me that people around here have grown a bit jaded.
It jars a simple, straightforward soul like mine, I tell you.
And I, Bloomfield, who lever nies. :roll:
Look: This is no joke. Some of you will remember
that I tried to form a syndicate to buy a Spillane whistle:
http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=24443
Well, it didn't really go anywhere, and it occured to me that
it would feel bloody akward to collect money and then be
unable to come up with the whistle. And I wasn't hearing
back from Spillane's people.
But then I did hear back from them. I decided to front the money.
To save as much of that as possible, I had the whistle shipped
to Germany, where I have friends. That where it is right now.
I'll be getting it in a week or two. Then I'll post a review, and
perhaps I'll send it on tour for those interested. (And I'll talk
about the Howard resemblance issue, too).
But really: It's a Spillane whistle. Just ask Dale.

Hmmm.
This whistle is different than the one on his website.
