How old are these whistles Ben? Folks will probably want to know.

The Abell is about 1 year old, the O'Riordan D/C set was made in 1998, I'm not sure what
the wood is, kinda of a medium brown with graining, Rosewood maybe...

Medium brown wood, eh? Hmm, I wonder if Pat ever used Cocus? Now THAT's a set of whistles I'd like to have...

Hey,

Give us a ballpark figure as to what you're asking for each whistle. I don't want to insult your stock with a $10 bid ;P

Hi Ben:
How well do they play, i.e, air requirements, intonation, etc? (I don't even know if there is ever much variation in O'Riordans or Abells, but other makers seem to put out good, better, best.)
When will the bidding (offering?) be over?

My best offer for the O'riordan D/C set was $380, so that was the bid I went with. I accepted the offer, but have not heard a confirmation back over email yet, so if anyone wants to be a back up, let me know
