Description
Paul Busman from Cohoes, New York takes great pride in creating Irish whistles that look as good as they sound. To that end, he employs a variety of exotic hardwoods and durable polymers complimented by precision fittings of stainless steel and brass. Before going out on his own, Paul studied whistle making from the late & great Glenn Schultz of Thin Weasel Woodwinds.
Paul currently makes Irish whistles in the keys of C, D, D-Plus and Eb. D-Plus whistles have the same fingering pattern and pitch as regular D whistles, but have an additional low C note added for those occasional tunes that need it.
