GFM (Granite Falls Manufacturing) Tunable Aluminum
whistles are made by Charles Tilbury of solid 1/16"
6061-T4 alloy tubing. The airway is curved to help prevent moisture buildup. The
tuning slide incorporates o-rings which
are easily replaced using parts found in almost any
hardware store. The entire instrument is carefully machined and finished to
produce an instrument that is beautiful, durable, and easy to play.
While many might consider this a professionals
instrument, it is also useful as a beginners instrument. These whistles play
well and are well balanced between octaves, with a somewhat woody quality.
Tuning is perfect and the instrument can be tuned sharp as well as flat. They
have medium air requirements and the difference between the high and low
registers is about the same as other whistles. The first 3 notes in the low
octave are strong and clear and there is very good balance between octaves. This
instrument is easy to play, yet it is very responsive. And
the price is great for a quality aluminum whistle!
We currently offer GFM D and C whistles;
extra bodies are also available. The mouthpieces are interchangeable, so you can
order a D whistle and a C body, and move the mouthpiece from one body to the
other. We should be adding more keys in the near future.
