In accordance with C&F rules, this is a one-time announcement.
First and foremost, Serpent whistles are now available from Mountain Music in Shawnee, KS, and will soon be available in County Limerick, Ireland, and Adelaide, South Australia. I will announce the latter two when they are actually purchase-able in those venues. For Ireland, please check with mailto:steve@shannaquay.com for availability date. For Australia, please check with mailto:australia@serpentmusic.com - the agent's name is Roma.
Secondly, after much feedback from owners, I have changed the fipple plug material from solid brass, to Delrin. People were noting that the whistles were top-heavy, especially in the larger ones (Dreadnought, Python, Anaconda). The new fipple plug is functionally identical to the brass, except for specific heat, so warms up and cools down a bit faster. I will do a free upgrade for anyone with any of the abovementioned whistles who wants to send me the head and $5 for shipping.
Finally, I am actively seeking outlets in other states and countries. If you know of appropriate music shops, please email me mailto:serpent@serpentmusic.com And if you'd like to become an agent, with commission, please notify me there, as well for details.
That's it for this month! Thank you all for your continuing support!

Glad to see you're still alive and doing well, Bill. You sorta disappeared there for a while.
Hrm, I actually like the brass fipple in mine, but it's just a little high D. But then, I'm not a fan of plastics in general.. Oh well, whatever makes your customers happy....

Way to Go Bill!!!
Sounds like everything is going well with Serpent Whistles!
I am excited that I will be one of the first to try out the new fipple on my Brass trio that I won at christmas time. I am expecting it sometime this week or next.
Cheers,
Kathy
