Titanium Whistle gems looking for new homes!
Hi everyone,
was looking for a very long time, couldn't find what I wanted, made it myself.
Tubular, 40 mm x 7.5 mm, reed and body made from one piece so the reed can't ever fall out, end plug fitted with press fit, key ring hole goes through end plug and body, satin matte blasted finish, titanium is the only material used throughout.
Made in New Zealand by skilled people who get paid a fair salary as well. Why? Because I want it that way.
This whistle is neither designed nor manufactured to price, and I don't expect nor have the desire to satisfy the average customer or sell thousands of them. The only thing this whistle had in its design brief was to achieve the maximum possible quality in every aspect. I think it is safe to say that it is one of the finest whistles around.
Photos are of very early aluminium prototype to give you an idea only; final product is of a totally different quality level, of course. I've used up all the titanium protos for machining experiments, so no photos currently.
The first batch will be finished in early February. Early Bird pricing (85 USD) and special lottery if you order by 12th January. Normal pricing (95 USD) if you order and pay by 6th of February. Two whistles = free shipping. Three or more = 10% discount.
If you are interested, flick me a message and I'll let you know more.
You can also find it at the EDC Forums (
www.edcforums.com) in "Makers, Manufacturers and Dealers Announcements".
As soon as I have found out if / where / how it is ok with CPF policies, I'll post details here, too. Greta, I hope this does not conflict with forum rules; I really tried to work out if / where to post this and truly couldn't. Please let me know if I need to change anything.
Have a nice day everyone!
Cheers,
Matt
