Hello all, I have a lot of whistles, and I am forcing myself to pare down the collection.
Edit: I removed two of the whistles that sold to someone who was already purchasing another whistle of mine, and I have decided to hold back on the Chris Wall prototype D for now.
I've got a Chris Wall Tuneable D/C set (brown) that is quite nice. The D is a bit quiet, and is extra sweet and chirpy. It's probably a really wonderful apartment whistle, or for any place you don't want a ton of volume. The C tube is a very narrow bore, so it's also quiet and sweet. Chris currently doesn't offer these on his website.

Then there's the Chieftain Thunderbird Mezzo A. This is a warm, mellow whistle with large holes. The large holes do take some practice to cover. This has also been discontinued, so any whistle assessor employed by me would certainly tell you it's now worth three...no...FIVE times its original listing price of $1,000,000, but I've started the auction at a mere $80.

- Tell us something.: I've been playing whistles since 2010. I love how varied whistles are in their design, construction, tone, and handling. Though I've largely settled on what I enjoy playing, I'm still a sucker for an interesting new design.
