I am considering selling instruments.
Dan and I have some long-term goals that require a certain amount of capital, and I am considering selling some special instruments so we can begin to do away with our mortgage.
If I choose to go through with this, among other whistles and some flutes, there will be Copelands, Burkes, possible Weasels, possible Boisverts, Bleazey, elusive old-design (the one I reviewed before he changed the design) Reyburn high d and Low D, boxwood Swaynes, *maybe* a full set of O'Riordans (Low D, E, F, G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb) and some additional O'Riordans!

Soooo. I left a PM, but just in case any one else has an aluminum Burke D that needs a loving home, I'll post here, too. I think it's called an AlPro?

It's basically the same thing. Mike thought many people don't like tasting metal on their lips, so he extended the plastic that already was in the airway, so the tip of the whistle is plastic instead of metal. It should make no difference in the sound (though i'm sure some people will swear it does!)
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog!

I agree, if you could sell an O'Riordan whistle a few thousand bucks, and someone is willing to pay for it, I see nothing wrong with that.JessieK wrote:Whenever I sell O'Riordans, I will post about it in the forum. They are too sought after to sell without an auction. I am not among those who think it's wrong to accept money when people want to give it (or to spend more than the original price if I want something badly).
