Frank! Seriously?! Wow, we had corresponded off list a number of times. I had actually wondered where he had gone.

If you do a search on DrGiggles you'll find that he mentions having a Cheiftain soprano D. But pics would be best.

You can try to sell them here. I'm sure the Burke, Weasel and Silkstone will find homes...also you can try to eBay them either seperately or as a collection.

ok here are the whistles

1 Feadog D
1 Sweetone by clarke D
1 Waltons D
2 MEG by clarke a C and a D
1 Susato D
1 Tony Dixon D
1 thin Weasal by Glen A. Schultz Sr. D (this one is made of PVC and is not colored kinda neat looking with the PVC specs still on it)

1 Shinny silver one that has D-Al Pro MB 9/2001 etched on it

1 Green enamaled Pipe with PH 134 B flat written on it.

and 1 silver brushed metal one with nothing but a D on it... it is of a thicker metal than the tin whistles it is smooth and beautiful.

if anyone can help me figure out what these are and how much they are worth then I would really appriciate it... also if there is one of them that you would like to purchase from me let me know.

Here's what I would do:

As a package: 1 Feadog, 1 Sweetone, 1 Waltons, 2 Megs - $12.00
1 Susato high D - (if the head comes off, therefor tuneable - $15, otherwise $10)
1 Tony Dixon high D - $15
1 Water Weasel - $45
1 Burke Al-pro - $75
1 Silkstone D - $60
1 Possible Chieftain, but could be an imposter, but probably not. - $60

These seem like reasonable prices - a bit less than new, but well within their values. Good luck selling them,
Erik

Good prices. Could go a little higher, based on what's being sold in the board these days: Burke could go to $90, and Weasel could go to $60.

First of all, as others have said, I can only offer my condolences on your loss.

The 'heavier' metal whistle is most likely a Chieftain by Phil Hardy. I have three and it fits their description (no mark other than a stamped key signature. Another way to differentiate is to look at the mouthpiece end. In a Chieftain, the mouthpiece is rounded on the sides and flattened on top.

On a similar Overton, the mouthpiece is flattened on both top AND sides.

Yes the Green one is a Silkstone B flat

I think the brushed metal (aluminum) one is a chieftain... I remember him talking about and showing me his two chieftains one was huge and the other was small... this is the small one (D) I gave the larger one to a very good friend of his after the funeral last hear who also played whistle.

My condolences on your loss, jenani. I have a Chieftain, and it sounds just like the whistle you described. Here are pics of mine, in case it will help you identify:

Best wishes,
Andrea

Thank you... it's my first. I call it Symphony In Silver-- the first movement is a little fuzzy, but it finishes well.

Seriously though, I'm a pretty decent photographer but I never realized how difficult it was to photograph these shiny things that toot... the reflections were really a pain for my little point and shoot digital. Good thing I don't rely on whistle photography for a living!

Best of luck in finding the whistles good homes!!
