An aluminum two-piece whistle which is tunable to allow for fine-tuning due to temperature changes or to tune to other instruments. The instrument can also be separated to be stowed in a bag or case. The tuning slide is made of metal (brass) like other high quality woodwinds (saxophone, flute etc) rather than cheaper plastic, PVC or rubber which dampens the resonance of the instrument. Features a seize resistant tuning slide, which if maintained with tuning slide grease will work for many years. The tone-holes are positioned for optimal tuning & intonation and the mouthpieces are cut on swiss precision lathes, rather than cast or bent into shape, allowing for excellent consistency from whistle to whistle. The aluminum is anodized to both protect the aluminum and create a sealed barrier between the bare aluminum and the player.
I bought this directly from Fred Morrison while he was in Winnipeg. Hardly been played. Want to get a set of parlor pipes instead
