The first one in both these clips. It sounds familiar.

Well yes, actually ... with the right embouchure, and depending on the particular head. In fact, the Susato C and Bb (S-bore) are two of my all-time favorite whistles of any kind.

It's actually a Generation Bb, look carefully, around 3:07... It's nickel.

You're right, Az, it's a Gen blue top. And in the 2nd clip, too.

I thought I saw the characteristic Susato "finial" bulge at the bell. But it's only an illusion.

The Susato C and Bb are still nice whistles.

On a related subject (since the clips are of Vinnie Kilduff): does anyone have a copy of the tutorial cassette that Vinnie Kilduff made years ago of tunes played on whistle? It's called Whistle Wizardry, and appears to have never been re-released on CD. It seems to have been intended as an advanced tutorial. Has anyone heard it? I'd be interested in a copy or a recording of it if anyone has it.
