i ordered a copeland low G but in the mean time picked up the flute, and i’m hit hard by that flute
i’m no longer interested in this whistle. the whistle isn’t even finished,
they are still working on it, but i can’t cancel my order.
it should be finnished at the end of next week.
the curent price is 393$, shipping incl. in the US.
i’m asking 325$, shipping incl. brand new from Copeland.
If you decide you really do love that flute more and you want to sell those Copelands let me know. I think this is the brand I’m interested in investing in,however I think it’s going to have to be used models for starters.
Question? What made you go over to the flute vs. the whistle? I’ve been running that question around in my mind also.
Well, I haven’t “gone over,” not totally. I love my whistles. Like Lixnaw, my ear was hungering for that low sound. And I can’t play a low D, the reach hurts my hands. So I’ve had my flute for a little over a week, and I am thrilled with it.
I’m keeping my Copelands, though. They are as flutey as a whistle gets in warmth of tone, to my ear (though my range of experience with whistle brands is limited compared to lots of folks here).
I can’t speak for the consistency of the Copeland low Gs; I can only say that mine is far and away the class of the line - perhaps the very best of the 90 or so whistles I own. Another Board member (Jim Stone, I believe) has also sung the praises of his low G. Mine is older and was obtained second hand several years ago. Of all the Copelands I’ve ever owned, this is the one that you search for, that has that sound, that soul of tone and balance between the octaves…
i’m knocking of another 25, it’s 300$ for the Copeland low G, brand new, still in the shop, shipping in the US incl.
the new price would be 393$, shipping incl.
