Hi people, I am new to this forum and I think this website is absolutly wicked.
Anyway, I am getting my first whistle real soon, and I narrowed down to these four models: Clarke Sweetone, Clarke Classic, Susato V series one piece model, and Feadog Original. Could you guys give me some suggestions so I can choose from these four??
Anything will be greatly appreciated.
The Clark original is a very nice whistle although it does take a lot of air to keep it going. You can tweek this out though if you’re careful.
I also have a Feadog that i tweaked and that’s a good whistle as well. I use it as my slumming whistle to take to places i wouldn’t take an expensive one.
I tried some susatos in Hobgoblin just after i started playing and i really didn’t like their tone.
Never tried a Sweetone.
Of the four, the Feadog seems to get the best press, followed by the tweaked Clark.
Jerry Freeman sells a tweaked Sweetone on eBay for about $15 if you can go that high. He is well regarded for his tweaking, on wistles that is! 
I sarted with a Sweetone and it was one of my favorite cheapies so that is what I recommend.
No arguments here… 
If I was you I would stay away from a Clarke Meg like it was the black death! Hah hah hah hah! I’m not that far behind you mate. A Meg was my first and as soon as my Feadog arrives in a couple of days I’m going to flatten the end of my Meg and make a crook on it and use it as a back scratcher–to prevent it from be a total waste of my money! Alternatively, I’ve considered using my Meg as paint stirring stick or flattening out the wide end and using it as a camp spoon. I didn’t want to try a Sweet Tone because it is so similar to a Meg.
Robert Clarke is probably rolling over in his grave! 
My first whistle was a Clarke original tweaked by The Whistle Shop. It is still one of my favourites. Also, out of the four, I would choose the Susato but would change it to an S bore. As you can see, everyone has a different opinion. The best option, and I’m not kidding, would be to get all four of the ones you mentioned. They’re very cheap, you will quickly pick a favourite and you will better understand what you want in a whistle.
Actually Crevan has a great idea. If you want I would be happy to buy one of those Whistles and tweak it for you.
I would go for the Clarke Sweetone. Personally I think that the Susato is not a beginners’ whistle. At least I didn’t care for it that much, so I changed it for a Burke narrow bore brass, which it just great.
Try Sweetone.
The most simple player, and good not irritable sound.
My first whistle was one of these, too, and it’s still one of my favorites. Nice, nice whistle. Very pleasant.
I’m brand new to whistles myself (no wind experience at all). Just last week I got a Sweetone and a Feadog from the The Whistle Shop - both in D.
I like them both, but I think I like the Sweetone a little more. It’s a little softer in tone, as well as a little easier in the second octave for me.
The Feadog has a little more metallic sound with noticeably more bite, so I like that about it. It also seems like it squeaks easier than the Sweetone for me as a new player.
I like playing them both, but I like the Sweetone a little better. Experience may change that though. I’m glad I got both of them as they are noticeably different, but both enjoyable.
I played a friend’s Generation C in nickel for a week and it was much more squeaky-squawky for me - again being new.

I had access to a nice music store when I started out, and of the many cheapies I bought, the Sweetone was the easiest to play, so it was my favorite.
I think experience will change a lot of things for you.
The Feadog is a whistle I really didn’t like at first, but it is now one of my favorites, along with the Oak. I think it takes a lot of finesse to play it well. Perhaps it would be worth getting one, and sticking with it.
I have a new favorite in my O’Briain Improved.
It takes the finesse I was talking about, but I can’t imagine it getting much better than that, for the trad sound I’m looking for. I believe it is a tweaked Feadog, actually.
