How much does an Overton-whistle cost?

I have a pretty recent price sheet from Colin Goldie (the other maker of the Overton Whistles)

Soprano F, E, E flat, D, D flat, C € 145
Mezzo soprano B, B flat, A € 158
Alto G sharp, G, F sharp, F, E € 183,28 (wtf?)
Tenor E, E flat, D, D flat € 203
Baritone C, B € 220, 40
Bass baritone B flat, A € 238,96
Tunable Alto € 219,24
Tunable Tenor € 238,96

There is a nine-month waiting list for Colin's instruments.

When I get rich, which will probably be around the time when hell freezes over, I'll treat myself to a low C.

Unless you live in China, of course. In which case..............run!!

Overtons are good but Michael Burke is an excellent whistle maker. Best of all, he has many in stock lows and highs of any key.. I ordered a Low D from him and I got it in about 3 days. NO JOKE! I found out about him through Eric Rigler (the uilleann piper on Braveheart & Titanic soundtracks). I also found out that Paddy Keenan (Bothy Band) plays his low whistles. They are worth it and the Low whistle is about $220(US) and the high whistles are around $170(US). He is based out of Illinois.
