How much would the shipping cost to Israel?

After playing whistles for about a decade I moved to stringed instruments and neglected the former for a few years. I want to come back, but I want something new to motivate me. I really want an aluminum low D, but I don't know which one would be a good choice, since I see there are a lot of new bra...

I'm planning a trip to Europe starting on mid-September. I will go as a backpacker and on a very tight budget. Hence, I'm looking for people to host me at different locations, and where I'll be able to stay for at least 3-4 days (and maybe up to a week or so) to get to know each city in depth. I kno...

Thanks a lot to everyone for the great answers. I didn't know the "MK Kelpie" line. I just checked the prices and the low D costs ~176 u$s new, which is not overly expensive. That's a little more than what I could pay right now, though, but I think I'll just wait a little bit and go with o...

What about its volume? Is is too quite or do you think it could perform well in the street?

Hi Martin It's good to see you here again. I would say that unless you go down the Reyburn or MK route which are out of your price range then you're going to struggle to find a low D with good volume. I was going to suggest a Susato F, a good work tool for the streets. Nick Hey Nick! How are you do...

Hey, people! I haven't posted here in like YEARS :P I'm looking for recommendations of a good and loud low D or low F whistle to play in the street (for busking). It doesn't have to be terribly loud, but it definitely can't be very quiet, because where I play it's fairly noisy. My budget is very lim...

Haha, cool story! My story with my Susato high D hasn't a good ending. My niece who is 2 years old was playing once with it and since then I haven't been able to find it. I moved to another place recently, so the whistle is oficially lost forever :cry: I learnt the lesson! :tomato: Take care of your...

Sarah, I'm glad you're liking the whistle. I hope someday soon I'll be able to get another loud low F whistle like the Reviol. In the meantime I have a nice and quiet PVC low F made by a friend

Cheers

The whistle is SOLD!

Thanks everyone.

Sale pending...

FWIW, get a Susato (Kildare model). They're made of ABS (plastic), they're tunable and they have a very pure tone. I love'em!

Price reduced: u$s 190 including shipping.

Bump!!

Unfortunately, due to financial issues, I'm selling my Reviol low F whistle. I got this whistle (used) from another C&F's user about 6 months ago. The whistle is made of aluminium and it's black anodized. It's in pretty good shape and is a great (and loud) player. This whistle, new, goes for ~u$...
