Tell us something.: May 2022, I'm a second-time beginner to the whistle and low whistle after a three-year gap due to a chest injury brought to an end twelve years of playing. I've started on a high whistle and much is coming back quickly but it will be a while before I can manage a Low D again where my interest really lies. I chiefly love slow airs rather than dance tunes and am a fan of the likes of Davy Spillane, Eoin Duignan, Fred Morrison and Paddy Keenan.

I play several flutes, many whistles, many guitars, bouzouki, banjo, and own way too many pedals.
I could open a music store if I didn't live in the back woods of Pennsylvania.

This one looks like an Overton or Goldie, (or maybe Chieftain) with a retrofitted tuning joint:

There is a contact me link on his site - you should ask him.

It does look like an Overton. I've written to him a couple of times but sadly never received a reply. I love his playing and the tones he produces.
