Don't know how good these are but they certainly look nifty!

Here's a picture of the whistle in question:

It appears to be made of clear polycarbonate.
My only problem with this is that everyone will be able to see your
spit run through the tube as you play (I know... gross... sorry).
Also, I've not been fond of all-plastic whistles so far.

I have done a bit of photo tweaking to have
a better look at these whistle.
There is just something NOT RIGHT with both the
look of the whistles and the look of the site.
Are we being set-up here guys???

Maybe I am just being typically Irish in my attitude!!
(expecting the other guy to be pulling a fast one)
Has anyone tried these whistles??? - if they are in any
way as good as the EBay feedback suggests - they
represent one heck of a bargain.

This guy is definetly legit. His name is Rick Hinck, and I bought a copper Eb whistle from him a couple of weeks ago. He's been making whistles for about a year now and (I think) has some real potential as a whistle maker. I haven't played these plastic whistles, but the copper whistle had not only a great feel to it, but a nice and sweet tone as well. There were a couple rough edges to be worked out on the copper model I bought (I thought the tone was a little too airy, and it occassionally clogged), but after trading emails with him, I feel pretty confident that this guy will be making great whistles in no time. If anyone's curious about the quality, I say give them a shot. My Eb is well worth more than the $12 I paid for it.

I think some sound clilps of the whistles in question would help the site, but
seems legit otherwise. Certainly cheap enough that it wouldn't be a very
clever scam.
(Honestly. Trumpet players don' t mind calling them "spit valves".)

Yes Please!! I, for one, am always interested in hearing whistle sounds. I never ceases to amaze me how such a simple bit of plumbing can have such a variety of qualities built into it.
Please do post some samples.

The is the maker's Eb copper whistle. As I stated before, there are some rough edges, but worth the purchase price, I think (and it shows some promise).
Oh, and does anyone know the name of the first tune? Thanks.
