And FWIW, a D Gen tube fitting a D Sindt is not a particularly useful solution to the OP's problem.
Because the OP's whistle is a Sindt C?Why?

Re: Whistle Repair
I assume John uses 9/16" OD tubing for his C whistles, but I've never had the opportunity to measure one. If so, a Generation, Feadog, or Oak C tube could be persuaded to fit with about the same amount of elbow grease and determination that's necessary for the D tube modification.
