A Bleazey in Rosewood? I know he makes them in boxwood, blackwood, and mopane.

Also, what key?

A brand new Bleazy in blackwood with sterling silver rings and slide goes for 105 British pounds, which is 157 Euro (as of this moment).

Mopane or Boxwood with brass slide and rings is 95 pounds (142 Euro).

I hear the wait is not very long.

The wait was about six months for my boxwood, which is about six months old. I'm not sure whether he makes them to order or in batches.

From the Bleazey's site:

EURO PRICE LIST 2002

Euro
Tuneable Whistles
In D, A=440 Boxwood or Mopane 153.00

So I am selling the whistle, that is in brand new condition, for the same price as it was new, BUT it is a played instrument and you know that wooden instrument get better as the time pass.

When I bought it in St. Chartier (France) he told me that it was made in rosewood, and not Mopane. Perhaps he gave up making whistles in rosewood!
Cheers from Italy!
P.s. the whistle is tuned in d, is the standard tin whistle

So it is rosewood. Interesting.

Sterling silver hardware or brass?

Reminds me of when I got my first brass whistle. The sticker on it said "Irish Tin Whistle." It seemed odd.
