Can anyone identify this Low D for sale on ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Low-Whistle-In-D-Tuneable-/170925642971?pt=UK_Woodwind_Instruments&hash=item27cbf654db#shId
99% some Phil Hardy product, Kerry or whatever. Ask the seller! 
Don’t think so. Seller has no information but to me it doesn’t look like one of Phil’s.
looks like an early Kerry Pro to me.
you can see a groove around the tuning slide
he done that on a lot of his early whistles.
Surely if it’s a KerryPro, Phil would have marked it as such and given it a number but there are no markings on the whistle. Any idea what an early Pro would play like?
I have an early Kerry Pro - it’s marked with the key (D), “K-PRO” and a turning around the upper part of the tuning slide, but no serial number. Not the only early KPro design, I must admit. However, unlike any of the Phil Hardy whistles I’ve seen, the Ebay whistle a far more rounded end to the tuning slide and the turning is at its lower end.
For what it’s worth, my guess at the maker would be Ian Lambe - his recent examples are a bit more ornate, but the style is identical.
Interesting. Phil thinks its a Kerry Pro but I didn’t tell him there were no markings. I wrote to Ian Lambe and he thinks its possibly one of his but he would need a closer look. I think you’re right. It does look more like one of Ian’s.
Could be either, with such a small picture. Ask the seller for better/closer and larger pictures. Does it have a plastic plastic fipple block (Lambe) or silver metal block (Kerry Pro, Overton)? A closeup of the window would be very helpful too.
If the person really wants to sell it, they should be able to comply with better pictures or more information, at the very least.
But the older Lambe whistles like mine have a split aluminum fipple block, not plastic.
I’ve asked for more pictures. Whether he’ll put them up in time remains to be seen. I’m tempted to bid if the price doesn’t go up much and if it’s either a Kerry Pro or Ian Lambe but I’m concerned it might be neither and some kind of cheaper copy.
Here’s another photo. Is anybody any the wiser?
Looks exactly like my Ian Lambe.
Even without the fancy engraving! Is that a definite MTGuru?
What do you think of them? I’m bidding on this whistle which closes soon and is only £45 right now!!
Well, I certainly don’t know all the different low whistles out there, if anyone else uses the same design. But both the head shape and the joint configuration in the photo match my (1999-vintage) Lambe. My lower joint “ring” (whatever you’d call it) seems just slightly wider. And the “pushed down” blade area of mine is slightly smaller. The other proportions/lengths look right. Hard to tell from the photo, and I know that Ian’s design has evolved a bit since 1999. But accounting for those minor details, it sure does look like mine.
I can’t really comment based on mine. It is, as I said, a very early example with the split aluminum block, and the voicing is less than ideal - basically too quiet and breathy. Ian has kindly offered to revoice it for me with the newer Delrin block and bring it up to the standard of his current model which, from what I’ve seen, has drawn very positive comments from owners. £45 would definitely be an attractive price for one of those. 
Thanks MT!! Sounds like it could be fairly old.
But it won’t go for that when somebody (not me, I hasten to add, because I’m not after it) snipes it!
