whistle spelunking in concaves

Digging for information long past on whistles is slow and difficult. Might seem that it’s simple huh ??

Take for example an area we have been pecking away at…

CONCAVE fipples in round whistles….. Yah, pretty obscure huh ?? We agree !!!!

However in several round whistles in the reference collection, the fipples are indeed concave and that might point to a different manufacturer than normally would appear on the surface. Or an identifying mark for one we did not know of.

What to do ?? Well one thing is to look for a whistle with a concave fipple and a makers stamp of course 🙂 —-  No brainer there right ?? No such thing yet either 🙁

What else ?? Perhaps a distinct manufacturing feature or even patented feature of the whistle in another part of the manufacturing of the whistle ??

In any event another feature has been unearthed ( not yet presented in a SPOTLIGHT  though ) Here we touch on it for the first time.

There were over 300 page loads on the website yesterday !! It is possible that enough enthusiasts can connect in such a way that we all can benefit. Posting here on the blog then becomes another way to share and learn as a group.

Now we ARE getting somewhere……….

Any ideas ?? concave fipples ???
