If everybody who plays sessions would be so nice to tell us which high D whistle they mostly use in a session, we could get a nice overview and an idea which to buy ourselfs.
Cheers

O'Riordan or Water Weasel, split pretty evenly (and depending mostly on my mood).

After playing this thing for 6 weeks, I'm still quite fond of it. But when I really need to be heard (I'm leading a tune, or there's a lot of loud instruments) I'll pull out the Silkstone Alloy D.

A John Sindt D or a Grinter (wooden) D. I got a whistle recently from Paul Busman. I think when I have it blown-in that'll be the one (unless you have to sit next to a box player and then the TW is your only man).

A feadog with a Mack Hoover white plastic head that I bought for $10 from a board member. Love it! Sounds like a laughing but with much more volume. Even lets me cross finger as OXXOOO or OXXXOX whenever I like.

Busman D....

Actually, whenever I have a whistle or 2 finished I like to take them to sessions and really give them a good workout. Sometimes, this suggests a little tweak or 2. I also like to have other good players give them a try so I can hear what they sound like from the other side of the mouthpiece.
