Some of you may have seen my prior thread about my experiences with the Overton BHD I purchased from a fellow Chiffboarder a month or so ago.
Well, I’ve now officially given up. My fingers are too skinny/bony and mangled from youthful martial arts swordfighting to handle this wonderful whistle, which pains me deeply because when I do get the holes covered properly, it renders the most beautiful whistle tone I’ve ever created. And now that I’ve discovered the fiddle, (which for some reason my hands can handle) the BHD is going totally unplayed, and that seems wrong somehow.
So, here’s the deal. I’m offering this whistle for sale on the same terms, and at the same price, that I recently bought it, namely $130.00, which will include shipping in the US regular mail (Insured, and other safer means of shipping are available but will be extra at my cost). This includes a nice black padded whistle sleeve/bag that fits the whistle nicely and came with it when I bought it.
The whistle itself is in excellent condition from what I can tell. This is, of course, a nontunable whistle, and I have not checked it against an electronic tuner to check its tuning, partly because other Chiffboarders more knowledgeable than me say that this is a misleading and inaccurate thing to do. It sounds good to me.
So, the price is $130.00. I’ll sell it the same way I got it…to the first person who emails me and says that they want it.
The only thing I ask is, if at all possible, buy this whistle only if you think you can handle it…skinny/bony fingers will have a rough time, as will arthritic fingers, and if you got both, well, join the club.
I’d like this nice whistle to go to “Good Hands” and get played as well and as often as it deserves. I’ll put it up on Ebay only in the event that there are no takers on the Chiffboard, and the opening bid would then be the same $130.00.
Thanks!!

P.S. Oh yeah, and I’ve never sold anything on the board before, so I guess we need to follow all of Dale’s rules, which If I remember right is send me emails with questions and etc., and dont post to this with your questions, and etc. Also, if you want the whistle, please send me an email as opposed to a private message on the message board, since I can never tell when those things are in or not. Thanks ![]()
