So, those of you that have experience with them pretty much like the whistles by Timothy Potter?
What makes them good whistles as far as you're concerned?

Oh, I know, that's how I found out about them in the first place was comments here and there throughout the threads. I was just trying to coalesce them.Steve Bliven wrote:A search will find you a number of postings on the topic....

- Tell us something.: A new tin whistle player, I'm eager to learn more from the collective wisdom of this group. While my playing could use lots of help, I'm especially eager to learn which recordings to listen to.
Re: Timothy Potter whistles?
I love mine. Very nice tone, consistent across the octaves, and not demanding in terms of breath control.
It’s relatively quiet, which is a good thing for most of my playing. The 0XX000 crossfingered C nat is a bit off, for me, but I can live with it. The rectangular mouthpiece felt a bit weird on the lips at first, but was never a problem, and now I don’t notice it anymore.
I'd rank it among my top 3 or 4 high D whistles, along with the Carbony, Freeman Blackbird, and a Dixon. I’m hoping Mr. Potter will come out with some lower pitched models. I’d buy them immediately.

Well, so much for consolidation.
I guess I'll find out soon enough. My own Potter is supposed to be here tomorrow.
Thanks to the one person that answered up to this point.
