Does anyone have a Killarney whistle from 2016 or earlier? I got mine on a trip to Ireland and I've noticed that the head is engraved now (mine is not) Just making sure I didn't get a weird knock off. TIA!

- Tell us something.: I like whistles, flutes, lyres, cittern/mandolin/bouzouki family instruments, as well as heavy and nasty slap bass. Languages, linguistics, history (especially Migration Period and Bronze Age Europe), cuisine from various parts of Latin America, chili growing, bushcraft, and the works of JRR Tolkien also tickle my fancy.

Re: Killarney whistle engraving
I have a couple of the very early ones. They are not engraved.
But I don’t think you got a knock-off. They engrave them now.
We wouldn’t want to get a knock-off of a knock-off.

Like clones? Fading after multiple copies? Maybe we'll end up with straws! Thanks for the information.

Re: Killarney whistle engraving
I have a D from 2015 and and Eb from 2018, both have no markings at all. I think with a few makers out there now making similar-style whistles they must have figured it'd be good to put their branding on there. I actually quite like the unmarked look, the script they're using for the engraving is a little too busy for me.

Re: Killarney whistle engraving
The branding is recent years. I've had two Killarney whistles 2016, 2018 - neither had any etching in the head. They are legit - that's the way they come nowadays - and available A,Bb,C,D,Eb keys.
