Abell whistle is good and OzWhistle is too. Oz Prices are Australian $ which might bring it into your price range depending on exchange rates. Different woods to choose from also.

Well i'm a bit of a gambler so I'll leave this offer up for a while - if no offers then I will not lose sleep.

(Updated to clarify... the whistle i have for trade is gidgee/phosphor bronze.)

I have an Oz Whistle made from Gidgee/Phosphor Bronze, a beautiful instrument, that I would like to trade for either an African Blackwood Oz Whistle (D) or an Abell D.

You have great taste - my favourite whistles in my collection are abells and oz whistle. But have you thought of ordering direct , its a 6 month wait, but whats 6 months these days - and you end up with your own shiny new whistle...
