Hi,
I’ve got a brand new (signed/dated Aug. 2003) Burke composite session D whistle that I’d like to trade or sell. I paid $110 + $10 shipping.
It comes with a vinal soft case and all instructions/papers.
It is a nice sounding/playing whistle and I think a bit better than the previouse composite whistle design Mr. Burke used. It’s very balanced across the octaves in tone and volume.
I no longer have one of the old versions, but this new one has a Delrin head (which I think is one change) and the regular composite (thermoplastic resin + wood fiber) body.
I’d be willing to trade for any of the following:
preferred trade: Olwell Bamboo Flute in (low) D in excellent condition.
other interests:
- Colin Goldie Overton (high D)
- Reyburn (high D, but not the LB)
I might also take an old style Burke wide bore brass + 20 $$ if I don’t get any Olwell offers…
OR, I’ll sell it for $110 (I’ll pay shipping so you save $10).
Contact me at the mail below if interested.
Thanks!

Thanks for the information on the Burke whistles. I’m shopping for some myself and found your remarks enlightening. Good luck selling it.
Could I ask,… What is with the Blair Witch Project thing you have going on with your avatar, it is kind of freaking me out… (and possibly hurting your whistles sales efforts)…

It’s a self portrait I did a few years ago with a pinhole camera.

Yikes… !
It reminds me of that old internet joke that you click on a certain site and are directed to stare HARD at this room-like space for about 2 minutes, and just when you’ve become hypnotized, some screaming, distorted face pops up and you fall over backwards in your chair…
Hey, unless I’m mistaken, and I don’t think I am, Burke offers a 30 day 100% Money Back guarantee on all his products… Don’t hesitate, box it up and ship it priority mail, back to Illinois… and PM me with the inside scoop on Burke composite whistles…
