Does anyone have a Harper tunable D that they would like to sell?

I really want one. I love the sounds they make. I just can’t find anyone who sells them in the U.S.

So if you are in the U.K and find one please pm me and maybe we can work something out. If you are in the U.S, even better.

p.m me if you guys find anything.

It’s going to be next to impossible to find a tunable D by itself since Steve Harper only made the tunable D as part of a D/C set. So you need to be looking for the set, and again, not easy to find.

I have nontunable D and C Harpers and the tuning is the most dead-on of any nontunables I’ve owned, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about finding a tunable D. I use the D in sessions, in the studio, and with the band with absolutely no tuning issues.

BTW, Steve is making whistles again and are available through Hobgoblin UK: http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/contentsframe.php?MS=harper

Last time I called the Hobgoblin U.S. store (a couple weeks ago) they had one Harper Classic D left in stock, so give them a call. They don’t list the Harpers on the web site. 1-877-866-3936

Good luck! Harpers are excellent whistles.

I will admit to having an extreme case of WhOA. :laughing:

But I do not have any high end metal whistles. I have a Blackbird, and a Burke Low D Viper, but they don’t satisfy the niche that I want them to. :frowning:

Yeah, Harpers are great to play…I just got mine from Hobgoblin US a few weeks ago, and I can’t see to put it down. Dead on in tune, and easier for me because of the larger holes on it (at least compared to some of my other whistles!)
