Tell us something.: I have recently retired and have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument. I'm leaning to play the whistle and now the flute.
I did try to search this before asking but didn't find much info.
I'm familiar with the blue topped Nickel whistles from Generation and the red topped brass whistles from them. I'm assuming the head is basically the same design but the body of the whistle is different due to the material (brass or nickel plated).
Since I'm a newbie to whistling, everything is new to me , I've discovered that there are green headed Generation whistles. What is different about them besides the color of the whistle head?

Some things you don't want to associate yourself with. But I suppose they're targetted at the same tourists that buy Guinness t-shirts and tweed caps, just to make sure everybody recognises them as tourists.
I suspect green top Generations are in their way aiming for a similar market. I have never seen them on sale here (I lead a sheltered life though).
Tell us something.: I can only hope that my proficiency with the whistle is steadily improving. A few of my whistles get a workout on an almost daily basis. And I'm almost certainly afflicted with WhOAD.

The blue top is for Blues, obviously. Don't know about the red one though . Jazz maybe?
Joking aside, my father once had a guitar made by the famous German guitar maker Roland Oetter (Tony Sheridan had one of his guitars for instance and Joan Baez ordered one but Oetter died in an accident before he finished it, I think) and he wanted it with a blue finish because he plays Blues. Oetter protested but my father insisted. So to my knowledge, that is the only blue Oetter-guitar in existence. The blue faded to green over time however.
