I'm selling a nearly-new 3-piece blackwood flute by Dave Copley. I've had it for just 2 months, and have always really liked Copleys, but have decided to upgrade a bit to a Martin Doyle flute, which I've just ordered and need to fund. I had Dave make an endcap from Mopane, for a nice aesthetic touch...

I'm selling a Casey Burns standard flute, blackwood, key of D, made ~2000. Large-holed model with ergonomic hole configuration. Big sound, easy player. Bought in 2020 from another C&F member. Checkup done by Casey in Oct 2023. Always kept humidified and regularly oiled. $395 firm including shipp...

The only other maker I can think of who might make a narrow bore low D (as a custom job) would be John Bushby at Shearwater Whistles. I've seen mention of NB Shearwaters as low as G but not low Ds, so far. Might be worth asking. I have a Goldie NB low D (1.0 windway), which is my go-to whistle for t...

Welcome to the wild world o' whistles! As for recordings, YouTube videos, ect., you'll probably just have to search through audio files and videos to broaden that musical vocabulary you're looking for. There are countless recordings by traditional musicians that include one or more slow airs or slow...

Here are a few email contacts, if you haven't tried them all yet. Paraic O'Neela might also know how to get in touch with John, since it seems like Setanta whistles were being made under the O'Neela roof, and the shop still sells the Setanta-brand whistle pouches. http://www.jobwhistles.com/contact-...
