Typical issues might include a colour variation between head and body, a fleck or unanodised area where a metal chip has interfered with the anodising process, or an engraving inaccuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe would rather see these whistles being played than sitting in a drawer and hence we offer them at a discounted price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe offer our standard warranty on Workshop Blemished models.
