Re: Photos of your collection!
My collection isn't that big, but it has grown again as of today and I'm still proud of it, so here goes:
From top to bottom (also from least favorite to most favorite):
From top to bottom (also from least favorite to most favorite):
- Generation D penny whistle (I'm more a fan of lower whistle tones so I don't play this one much)
- Generation Bb pennywhistle (pretty cool for a pennywhistle)
- Ralph Cook PVC whistle with four shafts D/Eb/E/F (too "flutey" for most of my needs, but occasionally useful, if only for the alternate tunings)
- My venerable Overton low D (bought from a folk music shop back in '99, and I'm afraid I don't know much about it ... I wish I did)
- My brand new Mk Pro low D, which has instantly become my favorite whistle bar none.

Re: Photos of your collection!

Re: Photos of your collection!
Got somewhat of a rare bird in the mail today, a early Sindt. The original owner who's had it since new guessed it to be made around 1994-1996. There's no inscription on the head, also i have never seen a Sindt with white plastic. It sure sounds nice though! Seems a little louder than my 2012 Sindt, and unfortunately the same wonky oxx ooo C-nat.. Think i will graft a Feadóg tube on it like i did my new Sindt.

- 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.

Nice find, Lars!
By the way, Mary Bergin has a Sindt with a white mouthpiece! Not sure if it's an older one she's playing here, though..

Maybe John used white Delrin/plastic in the beginning? Mary's Sindt sure didn't look like it was made yesterday

Re: Photos of your collection!
Just added a dogwood high D tunable whistle with brass Celtic ferrules and a custom tiger maple wood case from Hermit Hill Folk Instruments. The whistle plays two full octaves, chiffy and mellow. I like wood whistles for the mellow tones. A few photos to show the beautiful dogwood and tiger maple woods along with the wonderful craftsmanship of AlexD.
