Michael Kelly A-plus mandolin. Natural top, stained back and sides. Comes with a Canadian hard-side case I bought separately, and a lot of instructional material, books, picks, a strap, and an extra set of strings. Mandolin is $500 new, case and books and stuff are worth over $100. Will sell the whole thing for $450. Perfect learner’s setup!
I have a WW Eb and it is a very nice Whistle. Very powerful. Satisfying to play, without too much back pressure. One can really lean into it, but won’t get a headache trying to play it.
That is the mandolin in question, though mine has a different finish (the top is natural, and the back and sides are sort of a reddish finish). I did not pay $715 for it (though that does seem to be the current going rate). I paid right at $500 for it, but this is not the A-solid shown in the picture–the label on the inside reads “A-plus” very clearly.
Chris typically doesn’t have a long waiting list for his soprano whistles (3 months or so any time I’ve checked), so you may not get too many bites as long as you’re asking the same price as he sells for new, fwiw.
Drop the price by $100 for the set, and you might start to get some nibbles. (I’ve already got an Abell Eb/D/C set that I’m quite happy with, so I’ve got no vested interest in getting you to lower your price) I’m having to do the same thing with a flute I’m selling over on the flute board.
Well, don’t take my word for it (I mean that!), because I haven’t checked recently - If his waiting list is a currently a year or longer, then I’d say your original asking price is fair - whether it will sell at that price I don’t know, but for your own benefit, I’d contact Chris and ask what the current wait is for a set like you have. If I’m way off, you might be better to put them up on ebay and stick to your original price.
