I like the Magpie syndrome comment .... I've fallen for that old chestnut many a time, well the price has dropped, but the comments on tone and the airy chiff nature of it still put it in collectors corner, Erik's write up about its lower volume and it being great when his kids were young I suppose ...

Never sold, can't see if it ended early or just ended, I suppose not a forum member, looking at there previous sales, they, he, she sells a lot of instruments, so probably just a seller of instruments, hence the high price, and the original price back in the day being $125, and previous ebay sales a...

Thanks guys, I'm not a collector, but interesting to hear your views on the sounds, I like the Rolls Royce Clarke description, so I'm going to pass I think, at over £550 with Uk duty and vat added, it's a non starter, it does look beautifully made, but I'm also into a more pure tone, with a hint of ...

Hi all, I know this will probably spark how long is a piece of string, but..... there is a high Eb Tully whistle on Ebay USA, it's quite a high price compared to what Erik charged back in the day, ($125 ) selling for now for ( $575 ) plus $150 vat/duty, I know there's probably some kudos in owning o...

Hello chiffers, all Sold been a while since i've been on, new interest ( VIOLIN ) a labour of love...... I have had a good clear out of bits and pieces, and have found a Sindt high D, that I bought maybe 10 or 12 years ago, it came with two tubes, an original Sindt in brass with the two tuning lines...

Hi all Just in case you missed this beautiful old set in need of work, not mine, but the seller has listed it without the word Uilleann, just Irish Pipes and a not so clear makers mark that looks like Ross - Dublin, looks like Boxwood, with Drones as well, and worldwide shipping http://www.ebay.co.u...

well I feel quite privileged then, I have mine know and yes it's defo a large holed model, really rich sound, i'm not a fast player, so this will be my slow to medium speed low D, it's not an everyday or every tune whistle, not for my skill level anyway, so I can see why Colin only makes for custom ...

Sorry,

I should of updated, yes Colin does make a large hole model, I have found one, it's on it's way to me know,
i believe from the seller it is a custom order, he has moved on to a pratten flute and no longer plays low d,
so always worth posting a WTB.

all the best Yvie
