Sweet Toots 4 Sale

[Sillydill]

The following 4 tooters are collecting dust, so I'm offering them up for adoption: (left to right) Sweetheart High D Folk Fife, Shaw Whistle in A, Gill Alto Recorder (Key of F) and Sweetheart Low C Flute.



SWEETHEART D FOLK FIFE: This is a nice playing piccolo/fife, it's well in tune and has the largest bore of any piccolo I've tried. I rewrapped the tennon with waxed nylon thread. I was told it was made of Rosewood, but it looks like Walnut to me. But I had one of these a couple of years ago and it was the same thing: previous owner insisted it was Rosewood and I thought it was Walnut. So I may be wrong, but at least I'm consistent! I'ld like $50 plus shipping for this little one.

SHAW WHISTLE IN A: I acquired this whistle because I liked my Folk Fife in A so much. But I sound bad enough on a fife, let alone a whistle! It has a very pleasant somewhat windy tone. The previous owner left some tooth scrapes on it (not bad). I've got the original box for this one. Has Been Adopted!

GILL ALTO RECORDER in F: I got this one from Doc. I thought I'ld try it since I like my F-flutes so much. But I'm going to stick with flutes/fifes/piccolos. It is made of Maple and has a nice deep tone. It is like new and comes in it's original box (retails for ~$100). I'ld like $30 FREE SHIPPING WITHIN US.

SWEETHEART FLUTE IN C: This is a very nice playing flute, with a great sonorous tone (very much like a low Bb flute). I call her Blondie, she's made out of a lovely piece of Maple with lots of tiger-stripe to it. The tennon has been rewrapped with I believe waxed dental floss, it came this way and worked, so I didn't mess with it. She feels light and is very stable. She plays very well with good intonation, just don't crowd her. I believe this one has found a new home!

Thanks for your consideration, please contact me via Email or PM. Trades and offers will be considered!

All the Best!

Darn Jordan-

Wonder if Blondie would be good company for Rose?

SHAW WHISTLE IN A: I acquired this whistle because I liked my Folk Fife in A so much. But I sound bad enough on a fife, let alone a whistle! It has a very pleasant somewhat windy tone. The previous owner left some tooth scrapes on it (not bad). I've got the original box for this one. I'ld like $25 plus shipping for this one.

I have a Shaw A.

I did some work on the windway to reduce the req and its fun to play. Very flooty sounding.

Takes a great shine too and looks good.

I've played one of the maple Sweets in C--very nice horn, beautiful tone, excellent intonation. Almost bought it then but have the same problem now: no extra cash or time for any key/flute but session D. One of these days...

Yeah, hard to believe someone hasn't snatched it up yet! That's a darned nice price for a Low C flute! Wish I weren't trying to downsize--you're tempting me buddy!

Hey All!

Thanks for the kind words!

It looks like the Sweet Little D is still available. I thought it would be the first to go, but it looks like they are going alphabetically!

LOL! I agree. It should have sold by now.

I'd already have made an offer, except that I already have a Sweetheart C flute in maple. Nice flute, and one of those "essential" flutes to have on hand.

For the money asked, one simply can't go wrong!

Oops! I now see that it has found a new home.

Thanks, Jordan, for such a sweet deal, and congratulations to the buyer, too.

Nice flute!
