I was absolutely blessed to get to volunteer @ Rockygrass festival in Lions this last weekend. I made everyone very happy as a beer pourer!!! Anyway, I lost my whistle on Friday night where we were waiting in line for the lottery for the next day. Someone found it. They kept it. They are thinking of returning it...but it's very tempting to take to a pawn shop or sell on Craig's list, ebay. I am so attached to my whistle and it was/is a hard blow to me! If anyone knows of someone 'just getting' a Copeland D silver whistle....and Michael is no longer making them anymore (although he called me yesterday and is sending me one that he had on back order...what a true sweetheart)....let me know!!!! I have the serial number and it is back home in Tampa. I am in CO for another week, then up to An Ri Rah in Butte, MT. I can be reached thru here!
Carey, you are such a sweetheart! Thank you so much you guys...I know that if this person tries to play it...all that will come out is wrong notes and tainted music! It has my soul in it
I have the case. What's strange is that I had been playing it while waiting out in line...and I NEVER loose that thing...I know I put it back in my backpack...I'm not sure if it just 'fell out' or if someone took it out when I was on a bike ride (long story but we clocked in @ 21 mph!)...so in the mist of such a great time...such a huge loss to bear. If it had fallen out it most certainly would have been found the next day by a passerby. :(

Oh No! I will keep my eyes/ears open.
I'd love to have one, but if I find it, I'll do the right thing.
