So those of you new to recent debates will know what the fuss is about, I’ve reinstated links to sound samples of Cillian O’Briain high and Low D whistles, as played by some top notch musicians, on my website. See the link below.

They really are beautiful-sounding whistles, I play one myself and they are very reasonably-priced with a lovely tone.

I take it you didn’t buy it from me, then?

tee-hee, Steve. 
I have an Eb (which i didn’t buy from Steve ) and i love it. It’s so fast, so clean. I’ll make a recording of it someday. Plus, who wouldn’t love a whistle that has a Generations body and a tortured Feadog head, and the name Cillian O’Brian written on a (golden) sticker made with one of those cheap handheld labellers covering the name Generation, but not the key (Eb)?
That’s an odd tune, I think, for some reason.
Great playing, and great sounding whistles.
I have a feeling that those are the kind of players who’ve been around the block so many times they could play a soda straw or a water hose and make it sound pretty good.
Still, really nice sounding whistles. I’ve gotta try one of the “improved” one of these days.

I dunno - Cillian sound competent enough - and I’ve really enjoyed my D improved (which I DID buy from Steve)…however, I wonder when the guys gonna get off his duff and give the world a decent C whistle??? NOBODY plays ANYTHING in Eb at any session I’ve ever attended, but plenty in Cmaj and Dmin. as well as Bmix and Amin
GIVE US A C MAN!!!

Good Point about the C, Brian (nice to see you again, by the way!)
I’m talking to Cillian again next week, and I’ll mention it…again.
Steve
I have the D and love it.
Yeah, if O’Briain’s makes a “C”, I’ll buy one for sure. Same with a Bb.
Hey, Az,
You might, in the meantime, consider raindog/Gary Humphrey’s Bb head that’s made to fit on a Gen tube. I have a sound sample on Clips under jigs: Green-eyed Lass.
