When i hear someone playing a polymer whistle, it always sounds to me a bit like a wooden recorder. Actually, wooden pennywhistles also sound a little like recorders as well, though you don't come across wood p.whistles as often. Ralph Sweet made lovely whistles of various woods including rosewood, years ago. He called his brand Sweetheart Whistles and used to put his logo (a heart) on the whistles. He was also involved in the contra dance world. He is gone now, and his (used) whistles sell for a pretty penny. (no pun intended)
