Black Acetal Polymer  

My NA flutemaking friend who is also a world class woodworker convinced me to submit a couple of whistles to the Northeast Woodworker's Association show this weekend in Saratoga Springs. He entered them in the "odds and ends" category which included many hard to classify items: decorative sculptures, knicknacks, musical instruments, models, etc. I went up to see the show today and was floored to see that I had won Third Place!
Sweetest moment: when I got to the display, a gentleman was looking over the 5 whistles and commented that "They should have someone here playing tunes on them". I picked up the Bocote whistle and rattled off The Sweeps Hornpipe.
