ebay (starting mar 26)

hi, so i found one thing on ebay i was wondering about:

Vintage pair keyless Tin Whistles Csakan, Germany 1920
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140393500943&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

starting bid is $50; ends in another 6 days.

i did a google search for Csakan and a search on this board. most of the discussions say that Csakans are keyed recorders that were in fasion for awhile c. 19th c; this one isn’t keyed though. (also, i guess, from seeing on this board, it might not be tuned to A-440. beware! :slight_smile:

i’m wondering what it sounds like though… :slight_smile: has anybody ever heard/played one?

also, there’s an interesting low whistle available for another day or two:

it’s at about $40 right now; i found a review on the chiff and fipple low whistle page:
