For Sale: Abell High D in African Blackwood. Excellent Condition
My Abell high D in African Blackwood (Grenadilla) and Silver is for sale in the UK. Serial no: 1838, the sweet slightly chiffy Abell sound sings through as sweet as the day I bought it from Abell.

But I own two high(ish) end whistles - Abell and Milligan - and the Susato is up to gigging along with either of those.
