Anderson D Pennywhistle

My Anderson D-whistle Is a sample of whistle-series Brad makes from a selection of Australian Acacias. It is made from Queensland Rosewood (Acacia rhodoxylon).
A timber that is not available commercially, with the blank my whistle is made from being one of a small batch that Brad has been able to procure from another timber collector.
It is a beautiful timber, being a rich dark brown in colour with darker hair like ticking being obvious throughout the grain, and shows a lovely chatoyance in natural sunlight. The timber it self is extrememly hard and dense.

The cylindrical narrowbored high D model is possed of a warm full tone with a little "chiff" and has ample volume to be able to hold its own in a session.

An attractive box is supplied with the Anderson whistle made from merbau, a malaysian hardwood. The whistle parts rest in separate berths routed from the merbau and are lined with felt. Brass hinges and a brass spring catch secure the case together.
