FS: Jubilee AL Low D [SOLD]

Whistle
1

I have a Jubilee low D aluminum whistle with two (2) bodies, one standard and one custom with offset holes.

Here’s a link to the Jubilee page with a picture of the same whistle. With one body, the whistle normally goes for $85.

I’m asking $50.

If anyone is seriously interested and wants to try the whistle out, that could be an option . . . just send me a PM.

Matt, I’m curious. The custom, offset hole body looks like one for a player with two left hands. Am I imagining this?

Thanks for including the ruler. That helps for those of us with concerns about the reach. I’m off to measure my fingerspan again. :wink:

he he he heeeeeee, Oh Jennie, yes, I have two left hands :wink:

Actually, the reasoning behind this, and I admit it could be flawed, is that holes 4 and 5 offset in the normal way, which helps reduce the amount of piper’s grip needed for MY hand. The 6th hole is offset back the other way so that I can use my finger tip, which for me is more desirable. However, the great thing about this whistle is that I have the original standard hole configuration, so even if one doesn’t like the custom tube you still have the original whistle, no loss.

However, I got a PM this morning so the availability is pending his confirmation. I am at my computer all day, so as soon as he confirms or says “no thanks” I will update the post . . . but it’s too early to tell at the moment.

Beauty. I wouldn’t have thought of that. :roll:

The things we do for love of this music. All kinds of contortions.
