Whistle Sale (all sold) - Financing my MUSIC ROOM (Hurray, H

Whistle
1

I will be moving in August. My new home will have a MUSIC ROOM (Hurray, Hurray,)! To finance equiping my new MUSIC ROOM (Hurray, Hurray), I’m selling some instruments that I haven’t been playing. Because of the move, I can only offer these for sale this week; afterwards, I would be afraid that transactions might get confused with the move.

You can get in touch with me by e-mail (leemarsh@ix.netcom.com) or personal message through the message board. I’ve include estimated retail in parenthesis and sale price in bold type, for clarity.

I hate to part with these but hopefully with the regular practice room that they are building, I can actually learn to play the whistles I still have. :slight_smile:

Hey Lee! Because its always about me, I am moving to a much bigger place and getting a music room too hpefully in August if escrow closes. What a coingkidink? Nothing to sell yet but I think I am going to get an ebay account and start selling stuff.
Collector tshirts, 60s underground comix, rare lute music collections etc.

Good luck!

Weekender,
My music room is only an extra bedroom that I’m going to be able to convert to a music practice room. We’re actually moving to a smaller place; but, both of my daughters are moving out at the same time. So unless they both move back, I’ll finally have a room for my music and practice.

Well its great to have dedicated space. Hope it has some live walls or something. And that you can leave your instruments out to grab and play at convenience. Makes a big difference.

When I listen to Chiffs and Slips, it reminds me that like the flute, the whistle really needs space to sound good. Up close, they’re rather scratchy sounding, even nice ones.

Don’t ever count on them staying gone. Seems like they tend to come back, and back, and back… in other words don’t get rid of the bed in that room and leave a path to it between the music. Hopefully they won’t need the path but…

The new place has another room that will be set up as a guest bedroom. I may even re-stack the bunk beds in it. I almost have my dearly beloved convinced that it might be wise to not have a chest-of-drawers in the guest bedroom as a kind-of easy-to-live out of a suitcase environment.

My girls are more than ready to be on their own, but you’re right that they may move back for short periods from time to time over the next few … few… few… Oh, well lets be honest, DECADES.

I always like to think I’ll want em to stay around, but give me ten more years…

My fantasy is that they get rich and buy me a house!

Update: Only the Burke and two Chieftains are left.
Burke Composite EZ Low-D:… $135.
Chieftain Tunable Alto G $90.
Chieftain Tunable Soprano/regular D $75.

If any one would like all three, I’ll sell the package for $250 and I’ll throw in a case.

All prices are plus shipping to US only due to time limitations.

Music Rooms (hurrah hurrah!!) are great! I’ve got a Chickering grand piano, my uilleann pipes, a couple modest (but great) Generation whistles, mandolin, hohner mouth harps, a gorgeous little 26 string Fisher harp, hand carved Québécois wooden spoons, and a few other doodads.

It’s taken years to accumulate these little things but it’s wonderful for my little kids to play around on some fun stuff. We have little concerts in there sometimes. A 3 and a 5 year old can whoop up some serious noise! It used to be a dining room but nobody ever ate there!

Someday I hope to aquire a fine whistle (thinking Abell), a guitar, fiddle and who knows, maybe a hurty gurty;-)

Here’s to music rooms (gulp)!

12

FWIW-- I have a Burke like this one, and it’s great. Someone, buy it!!

13

Heck, someone buy it for me! :wink:
I am getting seriously depressed at the number of great whistles I’m having to let slip through my grasp :frowning:

Just to help Lee along, when he came to visit, this whistle (his burke composite) as my favoite of all the ones he brought…if I had the dough to spare, I’d certainly buy it in a heartbeat.

Every thing is sold or under purchase agreement. Thanks for your patience with the repeted posts to this topic.

Now back to packing and breaks to …

Congratulations, Lee! My new house will also have a MUSIC ROOM (hurray! Hurray!) which will double as a guest room. If I ever have kids, I guess I’ll have to build on!
