I bought it at the Recorder Center in Toronto. Hooray - no more squeaks and squawks! ~b.w. |

Yes, it's a beautiful instrument. Now I finally have something I can learn tunes on. |

I take it you're not planning to play free jazz on your new whistle? Congratulations and play it in good health. |

You'll find everything else you need to know about Sindts, every other whistle under the sun, the Meaning of Life and quite a lot else at Chiff & Fipple. |

It is glorious. What a magnificent whistle! I can play so softly in both registers and it sounds clean and pure and oh so lovely and in tune. (Likewise if I play at any other volume.) I couldn't be happier! I took it last Friday night to the Toronto song circle and did much accompanying with it. A friend emailed me the next day to say that my playing was "exquisite". Was it my playing, or the new whistle?!!!! ~b.w. |
