If you could only have one whistle, what would it be?

Since you make it so exclusive, it would be my green top Gen D.

Hey! That was my answer to the question, "if you could only own one pair of knickers..."

I know the question says "only one," but I'm gonna cheat and say one cheapie--Gen green top (folk whistle), one expensive--Burke Al-Pro (both in D). Both have their place.

Having sampled most of my collection over the past week I'll have to go along with JessieK and say my Abell d, definitely.

Now that I've seen cheating is allowed...soprano D Copeland and one whistle in another key....O'Riordan anodized aluminum Low G.

I've stopped reccommending the Oak to other people because of the reported lip-tingling problems, but it's still my favorite whistle of those I own. I hope to have a Sindt and a Burke al-pro to campare it with soon, however, and I may change my tune, er, whistle.

My Hoover C - out of a ski pole, no less! It has the sweetest sound ever, rich overtones, pure and a delight to play!

clarke.. no question..

in my humble opinion, if clarke made a louder version, there wouldn't be much competition

Sindt D.

Although I would miss my low whistles a lot...

Cramer,

the clarke can be made louder by enlarging the holes. I did this to my D, retuning and enlarging at the same time, the result =
a whistle that is louder + better intonated

I really wish Clarke could make their whistles seriously, then we certainly would have some killer instruments for very small $.

I'm looking forward to the Clarke low D that's in the works.
