Available For Sale
This one of a kind whistle set currently for sale is made from very old, well seasoned English Boxwood and brass with a fipple made from Minnesota Deer Antler.
The boxwood is well seasoned, stable and highly figured. The pictures simply don't do it justice. The fipple as well has a great deal of character that simply does not show up in the photographs. The whistles play well in tune over the entire range. These whistles are a real joy to play. They require very little effort and transition between the octaves beautifully. Though each whistle will have a different "voice", I always strive for a "pure" and clean tone. The tone of these are sweet and pure. The whistles come with a handmade, fitted walnut case. A custom made boxwood and delrin cleaning rod is also included with the set.

This Set has been SOLD and has a good home in Australia.
