Another project from the mk skunkworks that has taken way longer to come to fruition than it might have!! ...but we are sure you'll agree, it has been more than worth it. As we have often found, craft & design is like a process of distillation. Yes, the right ingredients are required, but they also must be allowed to ferment. We worked on this initially in 2012, and then again in 2019, after which, both times, we didn't quite have it. But in 2023, it came together - something so beautifully simple you might not believe the thought that has gone into it! But finding the simplest and most elegant, yet functional is not be an easy task.
Thumb-rests are not something that all players need ...but if you do, you do, and in this case, it can make a world of difference.

// Shipping Info
All international postage is insured.
- Worldwide postal services are very reliable - we send hundreds of packages a year and it is very, very unusual for one to go missing. Sometimes there are delays due to worldwide circumstances (e.g. pandemics, postage fluctuations like Christmas) or local circumstances. Tracking allows us to check the whereabouts of a package but, unless your package has been delivered to a neighbour without you knowing, tracking doesn't speed up delivery - it just allows us to check its whereabouts in countries where postal tracking is available.
- It is our responsibility to get your order to you, but we also work with postage services around the world, and any issues they may be facing at the time. We are constantly impressed with how reliable international postal services are given the distances we are posting. In the small number of cases there is a delay, we greatly appreciate your patience. We will work to resolve any issues - we have never not delivered an order.
// Dispatch Times
- We dispatch orders within 1-2 working days. You'll get an email to confirm dispatch (please remember to check spam/junk mail).
- If what you are after is not showing up as in stock in our shop, please email us to find when we will have an instrument ready to send to you.
- Dispatch times are meant as a guide only. Very occasionally things do go wrong - not every whistle we make meets our standards. In this case we'd rather delay your order than supply a poor instrument.
