I played in a noisy pub yesterday and got completely drowned by guitars and people singing. What do I need to compete? (I'd rather not lug electronic equipment around.)
Oh, I almost forgot, I'm also looking for a web site that has a good selection of pub songs, preferably with guitar chords and sheet music, but the most important thing is the words. Anyone know where that could be found?

I read here on the board somewhere that the Cronnolly whistle is louder than the Susato even...here's a webpage I found about them...

A Cronnolly is much louder than a Susato, but be prepared...it takes a lot of air support to play, and the tone holes are as large as that of a flute. This thing has a massive 5/8 inch bore on a high D whistle.
If you have what it takes to play it though, it is a wonderful whistle, and is actually very well balanced between the octaves.
Dale also has one of these in wood, perhaps he could be convinced to say a word or two about his?
Best,

I'll suggest either a Burke wide bore composite or a Water Weasel since nobody else has.

Some susatos (D, C, Bb) are on ebay right now:On 2002-10-14 20:05, Flywhistler wrote:
Small bore Susatos in Eb, D and C should do the trick. Small bore Bb is not as loud. I haven't played in sessions, but have played in situations with very loud instruments.
