I have a Bb Water Weasle (made by Glenn Schultz of course)and I really love the sound and playability. It is very mellow and flute-like.

Hello again everyone! I made back alive.

I use Bb whistle mostly in the songs when playing with the band since it's easier for the vocalist to sing in a bit lower key.
I spent a couple of days in Miltown Malbay and saw just amazing Bb session. It sounded just great. The whistler had a nickel generation Bb and the piper had a Bb chanter.
Also there were two fiddles. Bb when playing dance tunes has something very different compared to D. For example listen the tune Strayaway Child from Chieftains' Celebrations-cd.
And in that session, Jackie Daly was sitting next to me.
