Mystery Whistle For June
Dale:
I currently own a variety of whistles 1) Howard Low C, 2) Chieftain D, 3) Alba D, 4)Clarke D, 5) Walton Little Black Whistle D, 6) Susato Low D and then this unknown whistle. I have attached a picture, but will try describe it. It is black, 22.5" in length from beak to end. It breaks down into three pieces..mouth piece, then slightly after G. It is made of a heavy black poly material. The sound is fantastic. It is tunable and has a brass insert where the mouth piece fits the body. At first it looked like a Bingamon, but I wrote Daniel and he said he has never produced a whistle with a brass insert. Any clarity to who produced this whistle would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Keith
Here are the photos. Keith says there are no markings of any kind. He purchased it from another individual who didn't know who made it. Of course, I know EXACTLY who made it--I'm just testing all of you.

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Not exactly like this, but maybe they have changed their design and not updated the site? The windway looks sorta like this one.

Whistle Missing A Maker
Ok Guy's and Gals:
THINK! Who could have made this delightful instrument? Dale I am almost tempted to send to you for a "TEST" play only. I think you would agree after you played it that it rivals some top of the line whistles. But first things first....who made it......speak up!

You might be right, follow this link. They have a whistle with a brass insert for the tuning slide. The black surface could be anodized aluminum.

Isn't that the company who had a main page that said their objective was to make the finest whistles in the world, and that each one was made from 9 seperate parts? If you ask me (since I make whistles) the more pieces a whistle has, the more complicated/expensive they are to make, and the harder it is to identify a problem... I agree they are nice looking whistles, but I think the price tag (if I remember correctly) is somewhere in ther $250 range... A 'lil steep. I'll be happy to make ya one that looks just like it for less, and with no Anodizing Money upfront of course so i can buy the stuffNorCalMusician wrote:http://www.jazzwhistle.com

I appreciate everyone who has tried to help locate the marker of this instrument. Thanks
