Seems like recently people were saying good things about Merlin whistles. There’s a seller on ebay now, shop_eireann, who seems to have a friendly price set for new Merlins & Shaws. Just a heads up. I’m not affiliated!
To US buyers, I suggest to buy a Merlin low D directly from the maker.
The shop on E-Bay sells it for $ 103.00. I bought my Merlin low D directly from Merlin and
paid $ 75.00 included shipping.
Even better! Sorry I didn’t research. The Shaw was less than I paid for mine, and I thought the Merlin price was low. Sorry again!
Indie, how do you like your Shaw? Can you post a brief review ? Thanks.
Just checked the Merlin web site and the a low D tunable costs 65 pounds plus 2.5 pounds surface shipping to the US (non-tunable is listed for 45 pounds). That comes out to be somewhere around $96 USD for the tunable if I did the math right - not too far off the e-bay price.
Best wishes.

You are right. The one that I bought directly from Merlin is a non-tunable low d, not a tunable one, and I confirm that I paid $ 75.00 including shipping to the United States. Pretty good price for a pretty good whistle, in my opinion.
