FS some instruments from my personal collection

Whistle
1

I have to let some of my personal instruments go as I need to invest into my business, so I thought someone here might want to give them a good home.

Pat O’Riordan
Low D made in 2001 (black aluminium body, brass fittings, the foot joint is a little bit loose which is how it was when I got it but teflon tape does the job of tightening)
Alto G made in 2001 (black aluminium body, stainless steel fittings) (gone)

Fred Rose (gone)
Soprano D made in 2001 (blackwood and gold coated fittings, comes in original box with handling paper, as new and lovely grain on wood)

Ralf Cook
Low D (white plastic, painted black with a few white specs, brass tuning slide, wooden mouth plug, S/N 289, mouthpiece with the typical vent ears similar to Copeland Low D but in plastic)

Elderflower High Ds (1 gone)
Have 3 of them, no bark, organic looking

I also have some old (keyed) metal and wooden flutes that I am thinking of letting go.

Boehm flute, Perl NS-97, SN 41420, clean, no dings. I was told head is solid silver, needs complete re-pad, comes in original case)

Cocus Clementi Nicholson, re-worked and in tune but therefore not an 7 keyed flute anymore but 5-working keys, the rest just for the optics. One of the best playing flutes I have come across and has the old sound. Silver bands and keys. There is a glued crack on the head and barrel which was done before I got it and has not changed since I had it which was 5-8 years, the same with a crack on the top section of the lower hand. A real joy to play but since I had my Wilkes flute it does not get played so much.

If interested in a photo or a phone call for more info, please send me an email and I can phone you.

Make a serious offer via email and I get in contact.

I don’t usually like to comment on other people’s sales, but if that O’Riordan G is, as I’m sure it must be, an anodized aluminum, tuneable (2-piece) Traveler model, I’ll make an exception because I have one and I don’t think many have these.

Mine is well, for lack of a whole bunch of general terms, just the most heavenly whistle I’ve ever played. I know I’ll elicit a rash of negative responses for my subjective, inarticulate, and non-specific evaluation, but it stands - angelic, pure heaven. So there. Be idiots; let it pass by.

I have one of those, too. It’s terrific.

Alright, now I’m in with a credible crowd.. :slight_smile:

I guess you need to add me to that crowd (wow that’s kind of heady) also. Everything Philo said is spot on. I get comments from others (positive comments that is) everytime I play that whistle. The only one I fine better is my B O’riordan but most of my friends don’t play in the key of B or E.

merry christmas, y’all

Namaste’

I have put the O’Riordan Low D and a Swedish bagpipe on a friend’s ebay.

The Cook Low D and the Pearl will be listed in the next day or so. I may hang on to the Clementi for the time being.
