Another Whistle Maker
I just heard about a new whistle maker on the [Whistlemakers] group.
The maker is Charles Tilbury, Granite Falls Manufacturing http://granitefallsmfg.com/
They appear to be brass and aluminum whistles in High C and D. It looks like he does some custom work. Apparently no low whistles yet.
The website appears to be clean, simple, straightforward.

These look interesting, especially the fact that the brass whistles are completely different in design and manufacture than the aluminum whistles. The aluminum whistles look like (machined) Weasels and Busmans, whereas the brass ones look more like attempted cylindrical Copelands. Interesting. I bet the aluminum ones play well.

Just visited the site and have two issues. First, I don't see any location for the company; did I miss it? Second, I can't get the sound clips to play and have had no such problem with clips from other sites. Anyone else have problems with the clips?

I was unable to find a phone listing for either the person or company.

I just heard about his site on the whistlemakers list. I hope I didn't list it prematurely.
I have Quicktime and it seems to play fine that way.
I think he should have more identification information, the site is very vague on identifying the whistle maker. I know that many whistle players do consider the personality of whistle maker to some extent when buying instruments.
