Ot Auction of Instruments for Jerry O'Sullivan Benefit Fund

Whistle
1

The Auctions are being worked as you read this.
These very generous people have donated some fine Instruments to be Auctioned :

New Seth Gallagher Rosewood keyless flute Donated by Seth:

New Benedict Koehler American Ironwood Chanter with one key and blocks for other. Donated by Benedict Koehler

Copland D Nickel Whistle Donated and played by Bill Ochs

O’Riordan Blackwood/Tulipwood C/D set donated by Mark Johnston

New Sindt soprano D: donated by John Sindt

New 2 Burke Whistles that have been played by Joanie Madden by Mike Burke
We have had a little confusion with the D whistle and Mike Burke has sent us the following communications.
Hi Phil,
I sent Joanie a D Aluminum Narrow bore and a low G Aluminum whistle for Jerry’s Fundraiser, so I am confident that this is what it is. It is possible that Joanie might call it a D Aluminum Pro, though.
The inscription on the head will tell you what it really is.
I don’t think that there will be a problem, in any case, and if there is a buyer that complains about it, I will exchange the Narrow Bore for the Aluminum Session model if that is what they want. The DAN is our most popular D Aluminum whistle, though and I am sure people will want it.
All the best
Mike

I am glad I read the auction title and description a little better for the Copeland.

Above it says the whistle is “Silver.” :smiley:

In the auction it says it is “Nickle.” :imp:

That is a HUGE difference last time I checked. :confused: :roll:
