USED in Very Good Condition. Tunable of course.
Has some light surface scuffs from handling and use (see photos). Overall, it still looks good and shiny, but polished aluminum does seem to get easily marked. There is a scratch on the back side of the body deep enough to be felt by passing a fingernail over it. I have a photo using Macro mode on the camera to show it.
$240 including shipping to the U.S. No case. Selling because I don’t like the sound of the Aluminum OR the Delrin Tip.
Engraved with MB initials, model # DLAPV and date: Nov. 2007. List price for a new whistle is $300. Lowest tonehole rotates for an easier finger stretch.
Description from Michael Burke’s website:
"DLAPV- Low D Aluminum Pro Viper: This is the most powerful and loudest low D we make. It has moderate back pressure, a very big and powerful low end and great balance in sound between the octaves. The second octave is very accessible with moderate blowing and this low D can be used to play any kind of music at any speed as can be shown in our sound sample. It has been recorded on a number of movies including Gangs of New York and is played by the traveling piper and whistle player of Riverdance. The rotating bottom tonehole makes this full sized, no compromise whistle accessible to many men with smaller hands and women who are skilled in the pipers grip method of playing. Breaks down to fit into optional WPL Roll case.”
