Thanks maki and Steve. Being fairly new I didn't realize Jerry has an Ebay store.

Where or where have the jerry freeman whistles gone? I'm longing for a tweeked blackbird D for myself and a tweeked bluebird for a Christmas present.

Thank you so much for all your information. I do have a Clarke D with a wooden Fipple. I just don't like it. I also have a Generation D and I'm not keen on that one either.

Hi I'm a newbie and a whistle wannabe. I am new to celtic music and have recently fell in love with it. Could anybody recommend a good beginners book to learn on my own? Also could anyone recommend a good D whistle. Thanks so much.
