CP: Scheky's Set

Post by OBrien »

I thought I would use my monthly commercial post to show you how Richard's purpleheart C,D set is coming along. It still needs some more tung oil, but it's a nice sunny day here, so I took some pictures of it.

Here it is in its case: 6 inches by 4.5 inches by 1 inch, a nice fit for a shirt or jacket pocket:

Also at the oiling stage, I have an osage D, still unspoken-for:

Thanks for looking.

I thought that this was going to be three tunes that sound well together.

Those certainly are beautiful... I was considering a Burke or a Busman as a future purchase for myself... now I have to consider the O'Brien's too? :)

One of each (at least)

Robert,

You used the term "OR" ("Burke or a Busman"), it should be "AND" -- one of each (or more) is required to hang out around here, I think!

My two cents...

I have a Rover D in Blackwood - best whistle I've ever loved! In fact, I did a blind sound test with my harmonically-impaired wife (I still love her a LOT after 31 years!) and the O'Brien won (against a Burke DAN). Wasn't much of a test, I know, as I was just trying to decide which one to play at Mass that day...
