SOLD: Dixon Aluminum Low D

medit8b1 · Post by **medit8b1** » Mon May 21, 2007 8:10 pm

I have two low D's up for sale. The first is an excellent tunable low D with an aluminum body and abs head/fipple made by Dixon. This whistle sounds incredibly sweet in the second octave with a very pure tone. The only reason I am selling this is that I already have an abs Dixon low D that sounds and plays almost identically, making this whistle redundant in my whistle bag. The whistle is in very good condition, with only one miniscule indentation in the finish (not in the aluminum) by the head joint. This whistle has some sort of finish on it that not only helps protect it but provides a great grip surface. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this version has been discontinued by Dixon, as the pictures of the aluminum low D's on Dixons current website show a different head joint design. Includes clear plastic case. SOLD

The second low D is a classic Kerry, yes the original generation on steriods. This is one of the old black plastic head models, the new ones have blue heads. This whistle is in surprisingly good condition, with only one small scrape on the side of the type you normally see hundreds of on a used aluminum whistle. The sound is nice and warm and a little on the quiet side, and the whistle has allot of backpressure so it takes very little air to play. This used to be my practice whistle until I got the afforementioned abs Dixon. SOLD

If these do not sell by the end of the week I will be posting them on ebay, but I thought I'd give you chiffers first dibs.[/b]

Due to an overwhelming lack of interest, I have posted the above whistles on ebay:

Sheesh, is there anything those guys can't do?

Well... no, but I think Davy Spillane might have made, I mean, tweaked one of them, or..or..touched one... or maybe looked at a picture of one...

Dang...wish I'd caught this before you put them up on ebay. Ah well, we'll see what we can do...

Just an FYI that the ebay auctions for these two whistles are closing tomorrow! I can't believe that the Kerry will sell and the Dixon won't!

Well, the Kerry sold and the Dixon didn't, go figure. The Dixon is a way better instrument, and tunable to boot! I have relisted the Dixon on ebay and opened the auction up to international bidders.

That looks like the picture for the Kerry.

Regardless, I own a Dixon Aluminum Low D. Splendid instrument and a wonderful whistle to own. Snatch it up. That's my advice ...
