Howard Low C tuneable whistle. ?89 ono.


Recommended Posts

This is a black HOWARD low C flute/whistle.


(PS Please check the images. The black finish makes it difficult to photograph in the normal setting of my home, with limited lighting. Apologies for the lack of detail)


Usually used as a folk instrument (very flute like sound, easier to play than a flute).


It is tuneable, with an ABS high grade plastic adjustable head. A line around the head of the body, assists in the tuning.


It is powder coated black on thin wall brass tubing (which makes it very difficult for me to photo in the normal light environment of the home; my apologies for the lack of details in the images)


It is made in the UK and weighs 0.20kgs.


It has a lovely well rounded tone, and has good projection. The larger holes give you a good range of control and finger movement when you want to slur the notes, but require you to be accurate in your initial finger placement.


It has hardly been used. The finger holes are pristine with no edge wear or loss of colour, and there is only a small amount of faint superficial marking at the bottom end of the tube (not evident in the photo)


Excellent instrument for playing at home. Its not harsh or over loud.


They start at around ?115.00 new in the UK, so this a very nice reduction for an almost as new instrument.


Please get in touch with questions, of for more information. Postage in the UK will be ?5.65-?6.75, to other areas and Ireland a bit more.


PM Me here, or [email protected], or 07585273685.


You are welcome to try it out, and please feel free to ask questions or get more information.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
