We sell two brands of tin whistles at the online store at this time:
There is a renaissance going on in the tin whistle world. New makes are popping up all the time. In order to help you sort through the forest of choices, Grey recommends and sells his favorite brands, in the economy and premium-priced categories.
Given the cost of most musical instruments, all tin whistles are actually quite affordable. Grey recommends whistles:
-
that have excellent response and intonation.
-
whose pitch is easily adjustable. This is essential if you want to play with other musicians, or play along with recordings.

Copeland Woodwinds has completed the move of their workshop and are now taking orders again. You should allow approximately two months waiting time for your whistle. In some cases, your whistle may be ready sooner than that.
Until the untimely death of whistlemaker Glenn Schultz on June 8th, 2005, we had been selling his excellent Water Weasel whistles. We do not have any of Glenn's whistles in stock, so they are no longer available through our store. We will miss Glenn sorely. He was a fine friend and one of the best whistlemakers of all time.
