You very seldom see an O'Riordan whistle available for sale, but the Irish Flute Store has an O'Riordan Blackwood High D listed for sale now. These whistles tend to be pricey when they become available. One recently sold on E-Bay for over $2,000. If you are looking to indulge yourself, here's an opp...

I can't help with finding whistles in Cleveland, but Detroit musicians can always drive about an hour to Lansing where they can find Generation, Clarke, and Walton whistles at Elderly Instruments. They usually maintain a pretty good stock. I doubt you will be able to try them all out due to health c...
