FS - Michael Grinter Low D whistle
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2021 6:59 am
I'm considering selling my Low D Grinter whistle. It was made in 2001; I believe it's cocobolo but don't quote me on it. As you would expect from Mike, it's fabulous. As I hardly ever play it anymore, either in sessions or on stage, I'm thinking of buying a cheaper instrument and putting some money towards a new set of uilleann pipes.
In terms of provenance, the whistle has been used on the albums "3 Ravens", "The Unseen Hours" and "Far Better Days" by Malinky, as well as on "Fishing Music" by Ben Winship and David Thompson (2002).
As this is a splendid whistle by the late Mike Grinter, I'm hoping to get a suitably splendid sum for it. I believe a Grinter Low D recently sold for $1200, so I'll put it out there and see if there's any interest. Luckily, I don't have to sell it. $1200 is £870 or 1020 Euro. Shipping shouldn't be a massive cost.
If anyone wants to discuss, look at photos or whatever, please email me at markmalinky at hotmail dotcom
