I’m selling all of my best whistles at The Irish Flute Store.
On this page I’ll sell seconds that are deeply discounted. I won’t sell whistles that don’t play well, but occasionally (often) a whistle will have a cosmetic flaw such as scratches in the fittings, turning marks on the body, a misshapen tone hole, or a repaired crack. Some have small tuning issues for some players or may need the slide out ~1 cm or more to play in tune.
This is my current stock of seconds:
