Looking for Oz whistles, particularly in D, and Burke session whistles in D. Have 4 kids, so the whistle collection has to grow!

Haha, slipped into trade language. That would be extreme polytheism! Thanks for the suggestions. Hope one pans out.

My church needs a piper for a Dec 9 concert! We worship over 1100 a Sunday, and have "A Celtic Christmas" on that day. The parts are pretty easy, but since i have pastoral duties, I'm not able to handle it myself. The church is First United Methodist of Jonesboro, Arkansas. We will cover t...

A great low D, like the rest of Misha's offerings. I find myself not playing the low whistles anymore, and with the coming arrival of our 3rd child, no place for idle instruments. I am asking $300 for it, and I will cover shipping and insurance to the lower 48. I will also accept a trade+cash on a B...

Please email or PM me if you have one that you would like to sell. Thanks!

This whistle has sold.

Up for sale is my Oz Vambrace D whistle in blackwood and silver. It is a lovely whistle, and everything you would expect out of Mitch's shop.

Sounded like the real deal to me, and the credits had Ivan Goff listed under musicians.

...at hearing the uilleann pipes while watching an episode of the Backyardigans with my two year old! I was dozing off on the couch when the familiar tone of the pipes hit my ears. Throughout the entire episode, the pipes were playing. Muirenn (my daughter) kept saying "pipes, pipes!" when...

Depends on what sort of B you want.

I listened to a lot of B sets, and went with Bill Haneman. Just took delivery of a B set in Box...phenomenal soul on that chanter. It was a real treat to hear it in the hands of proper pipers too, at the NPU tionol.

I second that link...

Hey gang, I just returned from the NPU tionol in Borris, and it was great. As a new piper from the US, I was a tad overwhelmed by the personalities and the playing there, but the people were just wonderful. I thought I would take a moment to give some love to the NPU, Gerry, Sandie, Ruairi Somers (p...

"you can use "cast off" antler (and be sure that the animal is still alive) and the sawed off "antler feet" (also frequently referred to as "antler roses" over here by hunters) are ideal for regulator ends or drone ends, BUT these (from European Deer or Red Deer) m...

A little bump for a great Highland pipe.
