Wooden-look CPVC low D by Mack
I just got this stunning low D, from Mack Hoover.
It's a tabor pipe (3-hole whistle) made of CPVC,
but stained with a wood-grain look. It looks for
all the world like real wood, even up close. Oh,
and it sounds and plays just as great. I'll try and
post a pipe and tabor clip of it to Clips & Snips,
when I get one recorded that I'm satisfied with.

Paul's question is worth thinking about!
When wood wears away there is wood underneath. When faux fails there's plastic.
However it is fixable, and I will do so (as long as physically able) costing nothing but the postage.
If the faux future is too bleak, there will be repair, replacement, revision, or revertion.
There is an acrylic top coat that prolongs the life. Other than wearing off, it will never shrink, crack, peel, warp, or go out of tune (at least not more so).

I've always liked Mack Hoover's instruments. Not only are they quite pretty (or just plain cool-looking, in the case of ski-pole whistles and others), but they're superb instruments, and he is not so much out to make money as much as some other whistle makers unfortunately are.
