My name is Chris Wall and I\'m a flutemaker from Columbia, SC. I make play and sell 7 types of old world flutes in a wide array of keys. I have been giving private lessons, selling in person, and selling on etsy for a while, but now I want to reach a wider and more international crowd with my flutesSee my youtube video intro to my whistles at is my latest Low D Whistle. I make them in many keys, and usually offer either session or narrow bore as options. This model is a Narrow Bore, which means the tone is incredibly soft and warm. The second octave sings, and requires no push at all to get there. I personally love the narrow bore models of all my whistles. That being said, I wouldnt buy this with the intention of playing in a live session. Amplified instruments will likely drown out this one\'s sweet voice, as narrow bore also means lower volume. If you\'d like a whistle that takes more air and powers its way on top of other instruments in a session, message me. But this will play fine with an acoustic guitar and bodhran. While coming up with my design concept, I studied whistles crafted by the best in the business. Namely, Sindt, Copeland, and Kerry. You\'ll find little elements in my whistles that I noticed on theirs. They are the best for a reason, and I owe much to them with my design. I make my whistles by using a moldable industrial polymer, that I have to work quickly with before it sets. The benefit of this is that I can make a whistle or flute in any key I like, because I control the physics of what I shape it into. After it is shaped and set, I put a wood grain finish on it to give the appearance of wood, or I lacquer it. This one has the faux wood finish. Nobody I have ever sold to or played in front of has ever thought it was a type of plastic. Some even argued it was wood after I told them it wasn\'t. It\'s very convincing, and I wont tell if you wont ;) Another benefit of the polymer is that it\'s waterproof, and wont expand or shrink based on changes in room temperature and humidity. The fipple block is hand cut from Oak Wood, and sealed to prevent expansion from moisture build up. These really are lovely whistles, and I accept returns if you are unsatisfied. What do you have to lose?
