Michael and Jim attended the St. Louis Tional four years ago;
so did I. They had a table full of their whistles; thought I
was in heaven. I tried all the soprano Ds and then and there purchased this one, the best of the lot, I thought. My wife let me back in
the house after I played it for her.
Copelands, while all fine (if not
revoicing is free) vary individually. This one is
especially good; stong, lovely, flutey tone. I’ve made a good deal of
money playing this whistle. It’s in excellent condition.
Copelands are made to last forever. This looks like
a piece of jewelry.
Obviously people have different views about whistles;
I think these are the best D whistles I’ve ever played–except
for the Copeland silver D. Personally I prefer
the nickel to the brass. I have a physical problem that
prevents me from bending my arms sharply for long
periods, which is why i’m selling. I play flutes now,
mostly.
250 dollars, I pay shipping and insurance within the USA.
This is 75 dollars cheaper than a new one (when Copeland’s
shipping cost is added), no wait, and it’s virtually indistinguishablefrom a new one. Please contact me by e mail: jstone@uno.edu Questions welcome.
Do you know, last night when I played a little in the kitchen, while Vince was reading the bedtime stories to our youngest, he came downstairs afterwards with the biggest encouragement I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t been kissed like that in a while! I love the whistle you sold me.
If your nickel D is still around, I’m interested. Jennie
Jennie dear, if you like e mail me about the D. jstone@uno.edu
I’m really pleased you like the Bb.
Do you’all remember the movie ‘When Harry Met Sally’
in which Meg Ryan proves, while having dinner
with Billy Crystal in a delicatessen, that she can
fake a persuasive orgasm? The waiter, meanwhile
goes to take a the order of a middle aged woman
(the director’s mother, in fact) who says:
‘I’ll have what she’s having!’
