Two Whistles For Sale (Humphrey and a Mystery Whistle) (SOLD)

SOLD - Thanks! One is an early Gary Humphrey high-D whistle. It's pre-Stealth so still has a brass pin in the head. It's a "trad" (narrow) bore with a Delrin head and brass body. It's a fairly quiet, low-air whistle, at least compared to the "Session" Humphrey I currently play. ...

I have a brand new LIR Whistle in High-D for sale. I just got it and it's barely been played...just for a few minutes to check it out and see if I liked it. Unfortunately, it's not as good as my goto whistle (Oz Visor). It's really well made and has a very easy playing 2nd octave. I paid 100 Euros a...

WTB: Oz Whistles

As the subject states, I'm interested in buying at least one Oz whistle. I'm mainly interested in the wood Vambrace models, but would also consider the Delrin Visor models. I've got a high-D Visor that I love...best whistle I've ever played, so I'm very curious to try a wooden version. I wouldn't mi...

Re: WTB: High C Whistle

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! I am considering ordering one of the Carbony whistles but wanted to see if I could find anything cheaper used first. I've also tried a Reyburn many years ago and liked it, so I'll look into that as well. If I get a Carbony, then I have to decide between th...

Re: Oz Visor D *No longer for sale*

I can't seem to edit or delete my original FS post, so updating here. I've had the whistle out taking photos and playing to respond to questions, and have decided I'd probably have seller's remorse if I let it go, so I'm no longer selling. One note... While I had it out with my other high D whistles...
