i’m selling all of my high-enders.
i don’t like whistles lying around in drawers, and i need money for a copeland low D.
-burke high D composite session.
-burke high D brass session.
-burke high C brass black tipped wide bore.
-burke low D EZ composite.
-dixon one piece flute.
please pm. me if you’re interested.
edit:i just needed another lesson, there’s a different aproach needed when when you’re used to straight or conical bores and you switch to the other type. i’m sorry if i put anybody on the wrong foot.
I just got an older used Burke Composite Pro Low D, and like it a lot. I would say overall, it is a medium volume whistle, but has some power behind the notes, like a flutey tone. The lowest two notes are not as strong as I would like, but the high end is sweet too, so I guess you can’t have everything in one whistle!
I was just wondering how you would describe the tone of your Composite EZ Low D; one of the harder things in life to describe in words! But, give it a go, OK?
glad you like here! there was a fellow on this board that who thought his composite low D sounded like a “clarinoboe”
about the 2 bottom notes, try and swell the notes, it works great on this whistle.
i still like the sound of this whistle, mellow, sweet and moderate amount of complexity.
but the biggest advantage for a low D, she’s light as a feather.
but i’ve to let her go, my hands prefer conical whistles, i’ve a copeland sterling silver in wait!
well mine are actually in a vase, but as long as they’re there, i try them.
i made up my mind what i want, i don’t like too many whistles around.
it feels like a waste of energy, to have them standing there.
Good luck with the Copeland, that sounds like it’s going to be a stunner in silver! How long is the wait? Post some clips when it comes in if you are able.
By the way, I think if you posted the prices you want for the whistles, you might have more interest; worth a try anyway!
I’d like to see the Burke Composite EZ low D go to some appreciative member. The Comp Pro I just got is really sweet, one of my favorites now! I imagine the EZ is very similar in tone too.
thanks lads,
sorry, i missed that post alltogether.
jim rementer told me they’ve got 5 more sterling silver low D’s(or there could be other keys aswell, i’m not sure there) in order, and my order did fill the bill to order another load of silver. i wonder who the other orders are going to , not to these board members as far as i know of. so it’s gonna be a month or two. i’d prefer silver over any other kind of metal, i think there sure is a difference in sound between the brass an silver. here’s some samples from grey larsen: http://www.greylarsen.com/store/tinwhistles_samples.php i feel the brass more resonating in my head while the silver swirls round my heart! so this will be a keeper. i’m not so sure if i’ll ever need another whistle after this, desides a clarke sweetone, i play the button box aswell.
-i’ll sell the dixon 1-piece pvc flute for 25$[/color], it has about the easyest fingering you can imagine, but is not so easy to blow, if you can blow this dixon right, you can blow any flute, that’s what i’ve heard
anyway.
-i’ll let the brass session go for 60$. she’s 3 1/2 years old but very responsive.
-i bought the composite session about half a year back. she’s loud but mellow, i’ve sensible ears, but it don’t hurt me any bit.
i’ll let her go for 70$
-the brass high C black tipped i bought last august,
i’ll let her go for 80$
_i played the low D EZ for nearly 2 years now, i’ve heard the sound is a little more compressed, compared to the pro, but that last hole is placed half a hole shorter. i compared her to the howard low D, the howard has the stretch of the pro.
i think what makes the difference is that the holespacing from the first to the third hole and from the fourth to the sixth hole is equal, the same stretch for both hands. and along with that, the biggest advantage, domposite is as light as a feather for a low D.
i’ll leave her go for 120$
, not to these board members as far as i know of. so it’s gonna be a month or two. i’d prefer silver over any other kind of metal, i think there sure is a difference in sound between the brass an silver. here’s some samples from grey larsen:
