Looking for Silkstone Ace

Does anyone out there have a Sillkstone Ace they are interested in trading away? It can be the regular model or the D Plus model.

My current trade stock includes:

Murgacz high D (there was a brief flurry of interest about these on the Whistle Forum before the guy decided he wasn’t going to make them for a year of so. It looks rustic but has the sound of a high end whistle. A neat whistle

Overton F (Bernard, I believe) it’s got a nick in the part of the mouthpiece that goes in your mouth. Sounds good but takes focused breath

O’Brien Rover pocket D/C set

Burke Brass Black tip session high D

Silkstone aluminum narrow bore high D. Sort of want to keep this one. Plays for ever on a single breath. But to get an Ace I suppose it can go.

Casey Burns folk flute

Hoza Ef flute in Cookstown Ironwood. No tuning slide but does have rings and the nice leather case. Easy player, nice sound

Might be willing to part with my Abell low G in Blackwood since I’m playing my G O’Riordan mostly right now

Stringed instruments: Troubadour mandola; Hora bouzouki; Mid Mo mini-mo; Mid Mo Model 0; Deering Vega Little Wonder maple open back 5 string banjo; Vega cylinderback mandolin made around 1919. Just be aware, I’m very proud of it and won’t part with it easily. :slight_smile:

I’m probably missing something but that’s all that comes to mind. I’ll be out most of the weekend so don’t worry if I don’t get back to you immediately.

email or PM either will work

take care

Hi Jim,

I can’t help with the ace, i’d never heard of the Ace until your post, just seen a picture of it on the the whistle shop web site, very nice looking
pieces with the rings, and the d plus extra section.

I know that Phil at bigwhistle stocks Silkstones, but not sure if he has the ace model, the US price is quite a wedge, or the price they sold for when the whistle shop had them last( $360 ), wether the Uk price would be any better as they are made here, and if you are stateside you would have no tax and duty to pay? just shipping.





all the best Sponge.
