I’ve decided to go back to wooden whistles, they just suit my personality better. So with that said I have two very good Copelands for sale. Both are nickel silver and are stamped Copeland, but are made before he started putting serial numbers on his instruments. I am told by a few folks that whistles made during this time are some of his best. I’ve got a C, and a D, both is very good shape and I have a Burke case to fit each one in. I am asking $400 each. Will try to post pics in a day or two.
Hmmmmm… have you seen this? https://forums.chiffandfipple.com/t/wtb-copeland-nickel-whistle-high-d/66849/1

The D is now sold, however the C is still looking for a new home.
I did have an early copeland Nickel which I sold a while back, pre-numbered same as O_Gaiteiro_do_Chicago, my quest to find a pre-numbered nickel has ended, I have in my
possesion an amazing newly created nickel whistle from Micheal, which he custom tweaked for me, the man is a true master, this particular whistle is by far the best I have played, if your in a rush then by all means pay the prices that they are being sold for on the secondhand market, if you can wait, I was very very lucky, then its well worth contacting Michael, he is a true gent,
and his whistles are seriously the finest creatures out there.
