F.S. - Paul Busman C Whistle - SOLD

Irish Flute

SOLD

Paul Busman C Whistle.

This lovely whistle is made of Imbuia wood, the figure in the wood is exceptional and appears to be burl. I recently took this whistle in on trade for a flute. But it takes more than a good whistle to make me sound good! :smiley: I just wish it had a piccolo head instead of a fipple. I checked and these are currently $265 new.

Here’s some information I looked up on the lovely wood:

IMBUIA

Ocotea porosa

Ocotea porosa (syn. Phoebe porosa) of the family Lauraceae, the Laurel family

variously spelled imbuia, imbuya, embuia, and imbulia, I have seen botanical names of Ocotea porosa and Phoebe porosa both given for this species.

This species grows in Southern Brazil and is sometimes called Brazilian Walnut (but it is not a true walnut). It is a colorful, fine textured wood, prized by woodworkers. The heartwood is yellow-olive to chocolate brown, sometimes gray-brown, with variegated streaks and stripes. Grain pattern varies widely, with many different figures occurring in individual boards. It is hard and moderately heavy (about 42 pounds per cubic foot). Heartwood is durable. Emits a spicy, resinous scent and taste. It is easy to work with hand and power tools, although grain tends to pick up when planing. Finishes to a high luster. Glues well. Used for high grade furniture, cabinetry, joinery, paneling, flooring, gun stocks, musical instruments

Thanks for your consideration.

Please send inquiries via Email or PM.

All the Best!

Don’t put whistles for sale over here!!! if we want a whistle we’ll toodle on over to the WHISTLE BOARD!!! Maybe I’ll post a flute for sale over on the pipe board and see if those boys are interested.

Dude, calm down. Good grief. PM a moderator if you think something’s in the wrong place.
(Though, I must admit, selling the wrong thing in the UP forum would suck.
They tell people to scrub their naughty bits with a Brillo pad over there…)

Dear Dlambert,

Sorry if I doth offend!

I must admit that I am a patron of the Flute Forum only.

Besides we both know that fluters are better than whistlers! :wink:

However I went ahead a strayed into a foreign land and copied my post onto the Whistle Forum.

My appologies for my breach of etiquette.


Anyhow, the whistle is now sold. :smiley: Gee it was purchased by a whistler, who would’ve guessed!
