SOLD: Rose blackwood D w/ Rose hard case

The one pictured below.

For those who don’t know these whistles, read the reviews on Main C&F board
http://www.chiffandfipple.com/Expens.html and http://www.geocities.com/dwisely/fredrose.html
I agree 100%…

$240 with the optional Fred Rose case, worth over $30 alone (but I’d rather keep it than sell it alone), $220 without.
The original fleece pouch and display box are provided.

(Please reply or inquire by PM’s)

Well, I’m going sort of OT here, but it’s a good bump for ya anyway Zoob…

Speaking of Rose whistles: I sold one (Blackwood) to someone about a year ago… A guy who lived…maybe on the west coast? Not sure. If you’re out there and reading this - please send me a PM if you ever want sell that whistle, I’d be interested in buying it back someday.

v. Zubenstein,
isn’t it a better time to sell in Europe in Euros? What are those $$ they’ll be sending going to be worth?

You’re right, Bloomberg: I’d rather sell it in Euros…
Hey: € 240, but postage included! maybe I can even hop on a plane and deliver it personnally for the price difference :laughing:
Now seriously? € 200. + postage…

Loren? I’ll PM you in a minit.

PS: to the others: don’t wait you guys for the elections and a dollar back in shape. Phat chance it would still be available…

Hey, Zubwart, don’t call me Bloomberg! :wink:

Bloomenthal sure get touchy about his made-up moniker.

Top Ten things he doesn’t want to be called:

  1. Bloomie (variant Bloomie-Pie)
  2. Bloomberg
    :sunglasses: Joannie Madden’s #1 Fan
  3. Sophist like Stoner

…you guys finish the rest but the No 1 is: his actual name…I mean, how can a celebrity like him “keep it real” if we all know he’s a whistling blowhard just like us proles?

Was that Bloomfield in those Finster-Glints waitin for his limo on 5th Avenue? International Man of Mystery!

What, did I give away something??? Mein Gott in Himmel! He’s the legendary Fifth member of ABBA!!! You all didn’t know??

Sorry :blush:

Oh, you find it funny that someone in New York who isn’t Bloomberg doesn’t want to be called Bloomberg?!? :slight_smile:

You can call me Bloowinkle and Moose, if that helps.

Wouldn’t that be “Bloowinkle the Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel?” :smiley:

We don’t hear too much out here about how the new Mayor is doing. Giuliani is probably a hard act to follow. I just wonder if crime and filth will increase and I will have missed what seemed to be a great opportunity to visit the Big Apple.

Yeah, and if you bought an Abell blackwood D from someone in Louisville, KY who originally purchased it from me (it’s got a stain of some kind on the silver part where the tuning slide joins the head and body). I’d be interested in buying it back someday too.

:slight_smile:

Last call, ladies and gentlemen!

FWIW, I’ve had one of Fred Rose’s D whistles since last July, and it’s the sweetest sounding whistle I own. Beautiful tone for aires!

It’s also a very low maintenance whistle for one made out of blackwood. He sent a note along with it saying I shouldn’t ever have to oil it. After 8 months and a good amount of playing, I haven’t had to oil it and it still looks and sounds as good as the day I got it.

It rarely clogs, & has low breath requirements. I’ve had no complaints about this one.

Since everyone has their own preferences for whistles, there are a couple of clips on http://www.tinwhistletunes.com if you’ve never heard one of these played.

Good luck, Zub!

I was seriously debating buying it but went with a Busman instead.
Sorry, Zub.
By the way, you’ve probably answered this somewhere but what’s the little emblem in the lower right-hand corner of the picture? It looks cool.

Hmmmmmmm. Ya don’t do layaway, do you? :laughing:

I’m sure you’ll love the Busman.

The emblem is both my trade signature and copyright date as a photographer. It’s inspired by the wooden stamps used by Chinese calligraphers and painters. I really appreciate you like it, and express it. Btw, you’re the first to ask.

PS: it seems the Rose found a home, but I never skin bears before the Czech is in the male… Today, as you did, I also debated with myself (Hi, Paul, this is Zoob; Zoob, this is Paul, etc.) to see if we’d let this whistle go after all. Only fair: after all these years he has a word to say.
Then I socced him with a nasty jab: he just can’t calmly argue.
Issue is: we may be schizophrenic, but I’m personally very strong; wishy/washy yin/yang ok, but Zub’s quite Zen after all.
I know I’ll miss it–the Rose not that socced sucker; I also know I don’t need it, nor deserve it. I think my cat will miss it, too, when I practice this 2-octaves+ tunes… :wink:

I was going to get it but a Frenchman named Paul got in front of me! :astonished:

Sorry for those who waited for a possible barter.

The Rose is on its way to a new home abroad from Brittany: France.
It’s ok, he’s a recording musician and with a Breton name. :wink:
