Identify the whistle (brass high D)

Post by hatao »

Hello whistle lovers!

Does anybody know this whistle?
This is a second hand instrument that I came across recently. It's high D whistle, and fully brass made.
There is a cross-head screw on the back side.

I guess this is by David O'Brien in Canada, but not sure.
I would be happy if you know who made this.

Tell us something.: Can play several instruments at an unimpressive level. Currently most interested in whistling with a side of acoustic guitar.

Hmm It looks like a Setanta brass high D, one of the versions has the Delrin inner. Also on Mcneela one of the images has the philips screw. I think I saw a Setanta on ebay a while ago that was the same level of faded corrosion.

Ditto on the Setanta ID-ing. The current images on the Setanta site; same rectangular window cut, delrin sealing screw underneath, tuning slide design, windway cover design all the same and highly unlikely to all match and be a different maker.
