Silver Alba Whistle
I am new to this group, and new to whistles but love them. I have just ordered a Thin Weasel from Elderly Instruments and am looking forward to receiving it and learning how to play. I play several other instruments, my favorite being hammered dulcimer. I have a question, though - I know that Alba whistles are aluminum and silver colored. However, were any ever made in real, solid silver? Thank-you for any help you can give me - Randi

Tully comes immediately to mind. His website is at: http://www.tullberg.com/tully/.tiddleywinks wrote:However, were any ever made in real, solid silver?
I'm fairly certain that there are other craftsmen who work in silver as well, though perhaps not as exclusively as Tully does. I believe I've seen mention on this board in the past of whistle-makers who've done things in silver and even gold.

The composite one is discontinued. She ues aluminum only, now AFAIK.
What's-his-name... John Sindt did a few whistles in silver. One sold here in this board a few months ago for $200-ish.

- 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.
Well, that is definately the Alba logo. The head joint looks to be a bit rough and the body almost looks tapered. I was thinking Copeland until I looked at the close up pic of it. hmmmmmmm....

Dang, that looks legit... it does say it was "about 10 years ago".
