Looking to unload any cheapies?

Whistle
1

Hi there, I’m looking to get some whistles in the hands of students at various levels from beginner to intermediate. I need quite a few, though not enough to buy in bulk. I would like to pay a minimal price for each, say, no more than a few bucks per whistle including shipping costs. I would consider any key by almost any maker, especially Generations and Feadogs. It doesn’t matter to me if they are deemed “unplayable” by the owner. I’m not interested in any Clarkes at this point. The whistles must be clean!
Anyone who’d be willing to part with some extras at a low price (or even for nothing but post costs) would be greatly appreciated. PM please.

Regards,
Johnny

Walton’s?

Waltons depends on the model. The wider bores are high on air requirement and lower in volume and that’s not quite what I’m looking for.

Thanks so far to all who have offered/helped, it is much appreciated!

I don’t have any to offer…but I remember seeing on amazon that they sold some of the cheap whistles in 10 packs or something. I am not sure how much…and maybe they weren’t available, and that is why no price was listed…I can’t remember. But it might be worth it to at least peek there and make sure?

Thanks for the tip, Kari. I had seen that on Amazon as well quite some time ago. Last time I searched nothing came up though.

I really appreciate the offers and exchanges made so far but I do want to reiterate that I am looking only for Generation-style whistles (straight, narrow-bore with plastic head), I’m not interested in Clarkes. Not that I dislike them as a brand but they are easy players and they do not facilitate good attention to breathing habits as most others.
Please do not be offended or think me ungrateful if your offer is turned down; I am on a very tight budget but I like to donate whistles to my students when possible since they are not easily found in local shops here. It’s also nice to give them a bit of variety so that they can find one that speaks to them. If you are not willing to part with your whistles for a low price then I can’t and wouldn’t expect you to do so. This inquiry was inteded for folks who may have cheapies lying around that they don’t need or want, I can’t reimburse for dissatisfied whistle purchases. This is a labor of love for me, I’m not paid much to teach (non-profit organization) so I have to be thrifty :slight_smile:

Once again, a hundred thousand thank-yous to those who’ve responded!

Regards,
Johnny

I wouldn’t mind unloading some cheapies, but none of mine are loaded. :smiley:
