Hi folks -
So, good old Chris here is still gainfully unemployed so it’s time to sell some whistles. Interested buyers should contact me offlist by e-mail at chrislaughlin@alumni.hamilton.edu or by phone at (617)718-1588. If you’d like me to play an instrument for you over the phone I’ll be more than happy to.
Here’s what’s on the plate:
-
Abell C, D, Eb set - one headjoint with three bodies. Headjoint and D body are rosewood. C and Eb bodies are blackwood. Bands, tuning slide and part of the mouthpiece are silver. Come with a soft padded case. Other Abell owners who have tried these tell me they’re the best they’ve tried. I agree. These whistles are absolutely beautiful sounding, equally beautiful looking, and play exquisitely. Price - $550 for the set.

Burke Al-Pro Session D -
Mike’s whistle are gems. Bright, pure, loud and extremely responsive. This whistle is a great player and in top notch shape.
Price - $80
-Chieftain Bass Bb - This is one mighty whistle! It has one of the most incredible sounds I’ve ever heard out of any instrument ever, and once you get the hang of it it plays like a charm. I’d recommend pretty big hands for it but I was able to handle it with a little work. One heck of a whistle!
Price - $150
-Kerry Pro tunable low-D -
This is an absolutely gorgeous handmade, tunable low D by Phil Kerry. I’ve owned two low D Copelands, a low D Overton, a low D Burke, a low D O’Riordan, and I’ve played nearly everything else and this is my favorite by far. I hate to give it up. Phil is no longer able to make these because of his injury. I love this whistle.
Price - $190
There we have it. These are all superb whistles, the end product of 5 years of searching for the best. Give them a good home.
Chris
