About

The Maker
Tilbury Woodwinds Company is the trading name under which Chuck Tilbury makes and sells his whistles, under the watchful eye (and patient ears!) of his wife. By day, Chuck works as a systems software engineer (which, along with hardware development, he has been involved in for over 20 years). By night, he is the mad whistle maker. He makes whistles mostly as a hobby, but enjoys it so much that he wants to do it full-time. Chuck's goals are to make very good whistles that are comparable in quality to high-end whisltes, like Overton or Copeland whistles. However, he also aims to sell them for much less. Why? Because he strongly believes that everyone should have access to a really good whistle.

The Workshop
The TWC workshop is located in Pearland, Texas, which is a little southeast of Houston, Texas. Recently, he has moved from the Seattle, Washington area. The leafy and green images used in the header of the website are all from photographs Chuck has taken of that area.
