Tell us something.: I've always loved music particularly traditional/folk. I didn't start working seriously in music until a couple of years ago when I decided to start a band.
We've performed our first gig but now we're making some demo recordings to get some more regular paid bookings. A few years before I started the band I took lessons in the Scottish and Irish whistle and it became something of an obsession to build up a collection of whistles in the most common pitches. I have to admit to not being much of a player - started too late in life unfortunately and arthritis is creeping up on my hands. I can play accompaniments to slow numbers but my forte is as lead singer and arranger, so I keep most of my whistle playing away from the professional musicians with whom I sing. Nevertheless, I enjoy going through C&F every now and then, especially the instrument exchange. So I still seek nice instruments to add to my small collection. One thing - I have been quite unable to work out how to delete my last posting seeking a wooden A whistle after losing my original one. It's no longer valid as I have got round the problem with the help of its maker, Phil Bleazey who is always so helpful and constructive as well as being a consummate craftsman. Someone on C&F actually suggested I should go to Phil, which was a kind gesture although I already had that course in mind.

Very reluctantly I have to part with my fine Overton mezzo C whistle.
It's in aluminium, non-tuneable. It's obviously been played a fair amount, though still in very good condition. It comes with a fabric gig bag.

I've had to offer it for sale because I'm not a good enough player to get the best out of it - but I'm sure there's someone out there who would really appreciate it and bring out its full potential.

It's offered at £75 including pan-UK postage. Overseas postage to be arranged
