Tell us something.: I am a retired piper from Chicago and purchased a MK Pro Low D Whistle in May 2021, thinking I would enjoy playing it. However, it's not my thing and I would like to sell it.
I tried listing it on the bagpipe forum I belong to, but my post was not accepted since they really only buy and sell items related to piping. So, I remembered coming here in the past and reading a lot of posts, gathering information before my purchase, so I thought I would try to sell my whistle here.

Sandra: I attempted a private message, but it seems you might not be set up to receive them.

I play a green MK Pro low f, on stage. While I am satisfied with my black Howard low D, I have always wanted to purchase one of Mischa's MK Pro low D whistles in green. When I last checked with him in Scotland, his green and black low Ds were out of stock.

In perusing his site, I also checked his current prices, and I noted that the price on your used low D is higher than a new instrument from Scotland. If you ever decide to lower the price for your instrument, please consider me interested.

Do do you figure?

MK Pro is £249 (GBP), which is $346 (USD) per the MK website. Then shipping is another $25 for a total of $371 shipped from Scotland.

That is correct. They had raised the prices relatively recently by approx. 20%, and of course will add on taxes, not included in that pricing (Sales Tax or VAT depending on the country), plus the buyer is responsible for any customs import fees. A pull-down menu will now also show the product pricing in your local currency, such as USD.

I'll add, I had emailed Sandra maybe a week ago and it was available. It just so happened one also popped up on Irish Flute Store that same day and I purchased from Blayne.

It's an excellent low D Whistle and worth the price new, and definitely worth $300 used.
