[Nothing firm from anyone, but lots of folks have seen it. I will list this on eBay later this evening unless I hear something from someone on this list.]
In perfect condition.
Update: my situation has become clearer. The whistle can leave me as early as three weeks from today (Monday, June 6).

I’ve had it since Fall 2004.
It’s absolutely super.
Oiled regularly and kept in a humidor at 50%.
Regularly gets rave comments from the audience (frequently from seasoned players), as do all my Abells.
Abell’s Ds are currently $350.00; after speaking with him, he doesn’t forsee making more boxwood whistles in the future.
PM me now if you’re interested. I will go as low as $300.00, but will accept higher offers (gladly!).
Include the extra $50.00 if you would like the case (exactly what Chris charges for it and it’s in pristine condition).
