“Overton/Howard Style”, Huh? The two are nothing alike!

Okay, so who’s going to be the first person to order one of these Low D’s and see if they actually exist? (I can’t afford to at the moment or I’d volunteer)

Heya,

I have heard disturbing news that such a whistle is a standard Kerry made by Phil’s group, the one that looks like a big generation. They’re nice, but nowhere near the price he’s asking. That’s almost 200 dollars. I :stuck_out_tongue: at the idea.

I received a reply from Spillane today regarding my enquiry on purchasing a low D from him:

To which I replied:

Thanks for the reply, but I’m interested in purchasing one of your hand made Overton style low D whistles… not a Howard style.
Could you please give me some purchasing information regarding those whistles?

If it can be done, I fully intend to haul in The Loch Ness Monster on a flyrod! :stuck_out_tongue:

Leave Nessie alone, you guys! She never hurt anybody! Grrrr!
