No, Ryan's whistle is not a Sweetone. It does look like a conical bore, I'm not sure what.mika wrote:This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Xf1Ume0zA it is the same flute in this image?
Ryan recommends a Generation D, nickel tube, blue top. I'd think he wouldn't be caught dead playing a Sweetone. Too many tone and intonation issues.

Re: Help with Flutes
The flute in your first picture is similar to the one in the video, but not the same. If you buy one in the key of D it will work with the video lessons.
The second is a re-labeled version of the Aulos recorder. It has a distinctly different tone and method of playing, but is a very good instrument of its type for a low price. It will not work with the video lessons, but requires other instructions.
The third is a Clark classic whistle and a very popular choice for a first whistle and can also be used for the lessons.
Your last picture is a fife, probably in D, also similar to the Aulos product, but a very different instrument to play requiring different skills.
All of them are good selections for beginning instruments, but the whistles (#1 and #3) will work with the instructional videos. The recorder and fife require different instructions.
