The following 4 tooters are collecting dust, so I’m offering them up for adoption: (left to right) Sweetheart High D Folk Fife, Shaw Whistle in A, Gill Alto Recorder (Key of F) and Sweetheart Low C Flute.

SWEETHEART D FOLK FIFE: This is a nice playing piccolo/fife, it’s well in tune and has the largest bore of any piccolo I’ve tried. I rewrapped the tennon with waxed nylon thread. I was told it was made of Rosewood, but it looks like Walnut to me. But I had one of these a couple of years ago and it was the same thing: previous owner insisted it was Rosewood and I thought it was Walnut. So I may be wrong, but at least I’m consistent!
I’ld like $50 plus shipping for this little one.
SHAW WHISTLE IN A: I acquired this whistle because I liked my Folk Fife in A so much. But I sound bad enough on a fife, let alone a whistle! It has a very pleasant somewhat windy tone. The previous owner left some tooth scrapes on it (not bad). I’ve got the original box for this one. Has Been Adopted! ![]()
GILL ALTO RECORDER in F: I got this one from Doc. I thought I’ld try it since I like my F-flutes so much. But I’m going to stick with flutes/fifes/piccolos. It is made of Maple and has a nice deep tone. It is like new and comes in it’s original box (retails for ~$100). I’ld like $30 FREE SHIPPING WITHIN US.
SWEETHEART FLUTE IN C: This is a very nice playing flute, with a great sonorous tone (very much like a low Bb flute). I call her Blondie, she’s made out of a lovely piece of Maple with lots of tiger-stripe to it. The tennon has been rewrapped with I believe waxed dental floss, it came this way and worked, so I didn’t mess with it. She feels light and is very stable. She plays very well with good intonation, just don’t crowd her. I believe this one has found a new home! ![]()
