It's arrived!!!!!!

Hi all,I posted last week about getting a new soprano d whistle,but didn’t know which one to go for.I finally settled on an Overton (Goldie),but then found out that there was a 25 week waiting list!!
I thought that was the end of that,but someone of the forum sent me a pm saying they had one for sale which was only one month old.They also lived in the uk,were willing to pay p+p,and would even send it to me to try first!!Well folks,he posted it yesterday,it arrived today,and I haven’t been able to put it down since I got home from work…it’s a beauty!!!
All can say is,Adrian thank you very much indeed :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Heya, another convert! Congratulations. Magical things, aren’t they?!

:slight_smile:

So, I guess that means you will be sending it back, right? :boggle:

They definitley are the dogs b#@#@#ks :laughing:
and Steve,no chance of me sending it anywhere :smiley:

The dog’s WHAT? Never mind, I think I can guess. And is that a GOOD thing?

:laughing:

Glad to have been of service to you Willam!

I just wanted to post a notice to all who may be reading this thread to let them know that I only parted with the Overton to alleviate the pain of waiting for a fellow whistler.

Please do not imagine that I was dissatisfied with the whistle in any way. I will be replacing it one day soon.

I smiled to myself when i saw how quickly Bloomie appeared on this thread with his customary endorsement! He is absolutely justified in his opinion of Overtons, and I am grateful for his input in encouraging me to try one.

The high D Overtons don’t get quite so much discussion on this forum as do the lows…unsurprising, I guess. I’d like to stress that it is a truly beautiful sounding instrument…just for the record.

Best to you all,

Adrian

I’m in the midst of a whistlemaker’s trade with Colin-- one of my wooden ones for an anodized Electric Blue A whistle, which matches my PT Cruiser!

My lips are sore and I am tired,I’d better put it down now :frowning:
Have to get up for work in another 6 hours…think I’ll take it with me :smiley:
