New delrin whistle
Hello all,
Sorry to bend everyone's ear like this, but I just have to tell someone! I just made my first whistle from Delrin! I had no idea that this stuff was so great! The whistle turned out better than I ever expected. It is black with brass ferules. It's beautiful and it sounds great! This is the best instrument I have ever held in my hand. I am so excited I could explode!

I figured out why the pictures not very good. I was not using enough light.
Here are some links. Be warned that these images are a bit large, over 3M.
You can see the shape of the airway in this one:

Here it is posing with a half full Deschutes Porter so you can guage the size of it.

This shows the blade and the holes pretty well. Also note the brass tuning slide. The white specks are sand grains to keep it from rolling around on the chair seat.

Another shot of the airway and the underside of the beak.
