Hello all!
Due to some very unfortunate circumstances I managed to lose my treasured heavy brass Dixon DX204 C and D whistles. Does anybody have any idea where I can go or who I can talk to replace them? I've looked at various vendors online and they're all out of stock. I must tell you that I was quite heartbroken when I realized they were gone! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks to all and keep whistling!
Keith

No, the DX204 (and DX203 before it) was solid brass, not aluminium.bigsciota wrote:it’s worth noting that the DX204 was renamed the DX006, and is commonly just referred to in listings as “Dixon Alloy” or “Dixon Aluminum” or something to that effect.

Apologies, I was going off memory and thought the 204 was the alloy one!
I will say that the last time that I was in the Cork Pro Musica they had a couple of those heavy brass whistles. It was a while ago, early this year, but they might have one or two left. Their website isn’t very great, so it wouldn’t come up in a search; a call might land you what you’re looking for. I don’t know where you’re based, but I’m sure they’d love the business if they had one!

- Tell us something.: I can only hope that my proficiency with the whistle is steadily improving. A few of my whistles get a workout on an almost daily basis. And I'm almost certainly afflicted with WhOAD.

Whether this is a heavy brass whistle, I’ve no idea, and you may want to call ahead to confirm that it is indeed in stock. If you're in the States, Hobgoblin might be a good source.

According to their website, Harp and Dragon has one “solid brass” Dixon whistle in C left.
