Selling: Copeland Low D

Wynder · Post by **Wynder** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:26 am

Greetings, folks.

So, a while back I picked up a Copeland Low D brass whistle and, with all that's been going on, it is sadly an underplayed part of my collection... Rather than let it sit and collect dust, I figure someone should get some use and enjoyment out of it.

DETAILS: This is one of Michael's Low D conical whistles in brass that has a D-hole which has been custom cut off-center, in addition to his now-standard windway guard. It has a lovely, flute-like sound, a great traditional chiff and a low air requirement to sustain a note. It also comes with a draw-string cloth carrying case.

The whistle is in great condition and, if I recall, only has a few unnoticeable blemishes on the instrument, if any at all. I'm at work at the moment and don't have any pictures, but here's a video of me playing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZITjp822o0

PRICE: $399 (includes shipping and handling in the continental US), paid via PayPal.

Do you play lefty (so the offset hole would be offset to the left), or is the video orientation flipped?

The video is flipped.

It's oriented for a right-hander.

Since I've only gotten a few questions, but no serious interest, I've listed this whistle on eBay, starting at $325 with no reserve -- pictures have been added as well.

Off the subject, that's a great way to record video. I can never tell what the person is doing when I watch a video, but with your video flipped I could tell what notes you were playing with your fingers and everything. Kinda like a mirror.

Just wanted to post a quick note that there're less than two days left on this auction and a reminder that there is no reserve -- someone will be getting this whistle.

And lastly, 23 hours left on the auction. Thanks so much for the questions and interest -- I've lowered to starting bid to $299 and dropped the buyout by $25.
