I have a Hoover, nontunable, low-A whistle I would be willing to trade for another low-A…maybe an Overton :roll: or a Susato or an Overton :roll: or a Dixon or even an Overton. :roll:
This whistle is much too soft for my liking so I’m looking for a louder beast. It is in excellent condition and has only been play a couple of times.
Many thanks to all those who sent me email wanting to trade. The lucky winner was (insert drum roll here) Jared in Seattle, who was not only perceptive enough to trade his Overton Low-A for my one-of-a-kind, collector’s-item Hoover but sweetened the pot by adding a Copeland Low-D as well!! Thanks again Jared!!!
It is possibly too early in the morning for my mind to be completely functioning. I must be missing something here…Maybe there is some ‘tongue-in-cheek’ humor in the post…Let me see if I have this straight…
Jared, in Seattle, has become the owner of a truly fine Hoover instrument. I, too, own a non-tunable Hoover low A. I do not know how many of them he created, and my prayer is that - should he choose to do so - he makes many more, in the future… Musically, and technically, the Hoover low A is a marvelous instrument, and I use it, constantly. I prefer the Hoover to an Overton. I have never had the pleasure of playing a Copeland.
However, the trade balance, economically, seems to be very much in your favor. The sum total of the monetary value of an Overton High D and a Copeland Low D far exceeds the cost of a Hoover A.
Congratulations and the best to 'ye.

Maybe there is some ‘tongue-in-cheek’ humor in the post..
Certainly seems that way… 
ummmmm i think its whistle in cheek (ouch)
Quite definitely a tad bit of humour!
I had almost a dozen replies for a trade and all but one was wanting to trade away their Chieftain. Thanks to everyone interested.
To be honest my favourite whistles are the Overtons (the crowd gasps!) and the Burkes. Unfortunately funds don’t allow me to complete my collection at this time so I thought I would swap out some of my inexpensive whistles.
So…I guess I’ll be holding onto my Hoover for a bit longer…
