Paul, this is one of the prettiest whistles I've ever seen, but just think how many diamonds had to be cut down just for this one wooden whistle.

Another great creation for you Paul!

I will go to my grave a committed fine wood lover. But for those who seem to be concerned with the care and feeding of the typical (real) wood whistle, this certainly solves that objection and looks like wood to boot. I might choose a different color in my case, and I guess it is available in many colors.

You may have created a new dilemma for those of us who have considered the Delrin whistles for its care profile.

Way to go Paul!

Definitely! If I didn't already have a Busman Delrin whistle...

Looks very nice. Does the tone differ at all from your "real" wood whistles?

Is there a weight difference with the dymondwood?

I wonder how my wife would feel about me getting that for mother's day? I know she's supposed to get the gifts, but wouldn't it make her feel better for me to have something that pretty?

That is really cool Paul. I have a Sweet in Dymondwood and it is just like a Wooden Whistle.

Paul, do you accept kidneys as a form of down payment??? If not, then perhaps bone marrow. Then again, most people tend to favor money...that which I am short of in my whistle fund. Very nice whistle(s) though.

So what is this material anyway? Blue and waterproof. Is it wood at all?

From my supplier's website:

Dymondwood® is made from 1/16 hardwood veneers that are vacuum impregnated with dye and phenolic resin. The veneers are layered and compressed under high pressure and heat to slightly over half the original thickness. The result is a dense, warp-resistant material that will finish to a high polish without stains or finishes. It is hard and somewhat brittle and thus can chip or crack if proper techniques are not followed. It will dull cutting tools faster than most average woods.

Thanks for the info Paul. Sounds interesting.

You might escape a hideous death by playing a sweet air especially composed just for her. Maybe.

If you really want to push the envelope, you could tell her that you simply HAD to have one because it's the first whistle you've ever seen that was almost as pretty as she is...
