This whistle has been sold. Thank you.

I really appreciate all the input from everyone who posted. I feel good about the ebonite for the M&E flute, it sounds like pretty great stuff! I also appreciate all the info on the Casey Burns flute, so I'll keep thinking about what I want there. I will get in touch with Casey directly when I'm...

Akiba, thanks for the info on your Casey Burns. I am going to go with the M&E ebonite for now, but I had a couple more questions on the Burns flute for later on. (One of the reasons I've been putting that one off, is because there are so many choices, & not being able to see these in person,...

You're not a bit late, & I really appreciate hearing what you had to say, as well as all of these posts. I think I will go with the M&E ebonite now, and then when I'm ready for a wooden flute, I know I'll want a Casey Burns. I just need to decide on which one. I live in Dallas, Texas, & ...

I am about to purchase an M&E keyless flute, but I'm torn whether to buy the Polymer model, or the newer Ebonite one. Is there anyone who has played both that can tell me the pros/cons to each? Thanks so much for your help.

Selling my Burke Brass Session D Whistle (wide bore). Purchase in Dec. 2009, & have only played it a few times around the house. Very nice whistle with lovely tone, but realized it plays a bit too loudly for my current level. Asking $150, which includes case & also shipping to any of the 48 ...

In reading your post, I felt like I could have written it! I noticed you're from Dallas, so it sounds like you were at the North Texas Irish Festival. I too went to the Hobgoblin booth & played their low whistles for a good hour & a half. Only difference is, I did buy one. :-) I was torn for...
