Tell us something.: I like tin whistles. I'm really bad at playing them, but I don't let that stop me. I like to play a low A whistle -- I figure, that way nobody expects me to be able to play fast!

That's a great idea -- I'd somehow missed that maker. How do you find it compares to the M&E?

Other than being a different key, a little quieter, & lighter in weight to hold. Mine is a 2 piece, whilst the M&E is a 3 piece.

Thanks, fatmac, I think I'll get hold of one if no cut-price Copleys appear on the site in the near future!
