I bought this set (without the case) from a fellow Chiffer, but they haven't gotten very much play (thanks to a Howard that gets most of my attention), so I'm reluctantly passing them on.
The Reviol is a lovely whistle, with a solid tone, good intonation, perfect tuning, and medium backpressure. It is made from anodised aluminum alloy, with a hand-hammered fipple. The finished whistle is then glass-bead blasted to give it a nice non-slip texture.
It comes with a Low C tube, and (obviously) both are tunable. The distance between the holes on the Low D are approximate to those on a Kerry. Those with smaller hands will probably find the finger stretch on the Low C difficult (I do).
I only bought them less than 2 months ago, so I'm asking $240 USD. With the aluminum case, I'm asking $260 USD.
PM me if you're interested and I'll work out postage.

*Note all of these clips (except for "The Kilfenora") have a *tiny* amount of reverb added to the recording. If you listen to "The Kilfenora", you'll see that the room has enough natural reverb anyway. Also, I recorded a harmony part for "The Parting" – the Reviol does not magically turn into two whistles playing independantly!
