Thornton Whistles.

I make high whistles in B flat,C, D, and E flat.


Always email me before you make a purchase to make sure the whistle you want to purchase is in stock!

The high whistles are made with a brass body and the mouth piece is made from a PVC tube, a Delrin plug with brass fittings. The whistle is also tunable from its head piece.
They cost $90.

B flat whistles now available!!

This whistle is made from a brass body with a black ABS plastic head. It's tunable and costs $120.

And there is no shipping costs if you purchase a B flat Thornton Whistle till Jan 1st 2012!


The construction of this whistle takes some features from my high and low whistles.

The body is a heavier brass tube, actually it's almost twice the weight of a tube from a Generation or similar kind of whistle.

That's not going to make a great difference tonally but it's stronger anyway!

 

 

 

 

The mouth piece is the same style of mouth piece that I would use for my low whistles but scaled down.
Mind you the mouth piece is still fairly powerful and provides a fairly strong colum of sound for the body of the whistle.

This results in a whistle that has a very strong tone and lots of volume.
As a result it's takes a good strong flow of air to get the full potential from this whistle.




The tuning slide is a snug fitting brass on brass fit.

It takes very little upkeep, only a wipe of cork grease now and again. Chap stick would work in a pinch too but I may be in a position to supply cork grease soon.


Like all other whistles, email me if you're interested and I can let you know how stocks.




New mouth piece design for my D, C and E flat whistles!!

Over the last year or so I have been trying to come up with a way of increasing the overall volume of my whistles, just a little bit, without affecting the tone.

What I did was I changed the shape and size of the internal windway and the top of the mouth piece.
This had the effect of increasing the volume of the whistle a little bit and it also greatly reduced to chances of clogging.
Eureka!!!


The pictures give you an idea of how the mouth pieces are different but I haven't put up sound slips yet because it'll just sound like your speakers are louder!

Combo set!

This is a D whistle with an extra E flat body. Price is $125.
Email me if you would like one or have any question at all.
