Me... I have:
WoodSong (Hawk LittleJohn) Eastern Red Cedar, Mid E NAF
1 Generation Nickel Bb - useless
1 Oak D - Poison
1 Unlabeled/unidentified black whistle in D, Black plastic fipple, black matte finish body, plays but squawks and is not fond of the second octave or C
So.. really 1 flute, and 3/4 of a whistle.

I have presently held my WhOA in check. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I won't say.<G>
I have 13 whistles at the moment including my first one, Feadog, my favorite one, Elfsong C and D, a Meg which I'm thinking of giving to my dog as a chew toy, and waiting on a Sindt D which should come soon to make 14. I do have an aluminum low D that, with my small hands is very hard to play. Think I'll use that as a weapon against bodhran bangers.

Two MK II Feadogs- one doesn't work that well due to a tweak gone wrong.
Black Weltmeister in D (I HATE it with a passion!)
Susato Kildare Soprano D in Black
2pc Doolin in D
so that's.... 10 whistles...? Yes, 10 whistles. Gee, my math skills are atrocious!

Light spills into the hidden valley,
Illuminating the falls, paths, and
The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;
I am finally home. ~Isilwen Elanessë

1 sweettone D
1 Generation D
1 Oak D (poison)
1 Oak C (also poison)
1 acorn D
1 Waltons D
1 Feadog D
1 Dixon Low D
1 Susato VSB D
I have to say I play the Susato the most- I have trouble with both my generation and Feadog with the upper octaves- I buzz real bad and there seems to be a lot of wind noise- which is a shame because my generation has a nice sound on the lower octave- but i rarely play it because the top octave sounds so gross....
oh and I have an elfsong D on the way- i can't wait because it'll be my first high-end whistle.
