MK Low D whistle on eBay

In case anyone is interested, I put my wonderful green low D MK whistle on ebay. It's a shame, but no job, no money,... so I'm selling stuff. I keep telling myself, it's only stuff. Right?

So if anybody out there wants a good deal on a great whistle, it's on ebay.ca

I really like these guys: http://coloradocase.com/ They'll make anything custom, and it's almost a "road-trip" for you!

Good luck, hope you find something.

Re: Deciding on a Burke

I took my metal flute in to be fixed just the other day and had the head joint made round again. It took the repair person about 1 minute. I'm not kidding, it was really fast.

Cheers

Re: Looking for Good Whistle. Advice?

Hey Dom, welcome to the group! I have a Dixon Traditional d in brass, and I love it. I also have a Carey Parks "Ghost" whistle in d, and it's very, very nice. Neither was expensive.

Re: Grey Larsen book

Great news! I'm looking forward to its arrival in the mail.

I've been working on applying standard notation to the whistle, and it's coming along. I can read music (piano & guitar), but I just had to figure out how to correlate the whistle holes with the notation :>)
