Blue/Red/Brass/VINTAGE Generation. It's truly one of a kind (and I wish I could get my hands on it to properly repair the socket).

Best wishes,

Handmade musical instrument by a renowned maker who doesn't make that particular kind anymore - seems like a fair price to me.

Calling it a penny whistle is like calling a Von Huene Terton soprano or a Wenner Bressan alto "just a recorder".

It was certainly a fair price to the buyer and the seller, and what's wrong with a win/win?

About the revoicing. One of the reasons Michael C retired from full-time production was that he felt he was making whistles too fast, and that sometimes in retrospect, playing a particular whistle he had made years ago, he felt he hadn't
given it the attention it deserved. He is very glad to revoice these whistles.

Sold for $1425., eh? If someone here was trying to win the Copeland and was near the high bidder, but didn't get it, I too have a Sterling Silver Copeland D, in like new condition. Serial number is actually pretty close to the one listed in the auction as well. I am not planning to put mine up for auction, but I do have a Nickel Copeland D that I like just fine, so if someone here on the message board wants to pay crazy money, I'd let my Sterling Copeland go for $1350. shipped. I'm serious, not joking. Really wasn't planning to sell it, but I have a ton of dental and medical expenses a head of me, so what the heck, if someone really wants it that bad, give me a shout. Email is best.

I don't know about the silver Copeland, but, if you got a Sindt brass high D whistle, I'd consider making an offer
