Reduced. Howard Low C Whistle. ?79

Hallo


This is a black HOWARD low C flute/whistle. ?79


(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)


For those unclear what a whistle is, its a "Vertical Flute", usually used as a folk instrument (very flute like sound, easier to play than a flute). The penny whistle is the basic, plain, cheap version of it; this is a Professional instrument, and very beautiful.


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.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
