Many of you may recall that our own Bloomfield actually purchased a Spillane Low D and wrote a review here. Besides this documented sighting, I’m looking to see who else has encountered a Spillane Low D. Besides the Bloomfield Specimen, post here if you’ve ever seen or played a Spillane Low D.
Believe it or not, I’m not trying to make trouble. I actually have an interest in knowing whether these are available. After Bloomfield bought one, I expected we’d be hearing more about them and hearing more from people who have bought and played them. I’ve not heard from any such people, and it makes me wonder if the project got abandoned.
No more than we should let the Loch Ness monster or Big Foot or the UFOs drift off into the past. Life is enlarged by mysteries. We should be reminded from time to time just how little of the universe we truly understand. I’ll let you know if a Spillane Low D wanders through my backyard. For a nominal fee, I’ll post the shakey, grainy, black and white footage on C&F. My tongue is only partly in my cheek; I can still sorta play the whistle, which is an improvement.
I wonder if Jerry could tweak the existing Spillane.
Imagine the value!
OTOH, since there’s only the one, (as far as we know,) perhaps it would be like adding proper perspective to a Grandma Moses painting.
Not done. But the idea appeals to me.
I don’t believe Bloomfield really exists: I think he is simply an artifact created and planted by someone in advance, to provide a review of the whistle at the proper moment.
