I do have others, but the Kerry is The One

Of the ones i played:
Favourite: the sterling silver Copeland (no, i don't have one).
Easiest: Burke, no competition there (don't have one either!).
I prefer my whistles high; the only low D i have is a Howard, which is really not a bad whistle either.

The Holes are not too big????

They're pretty big, but not a problem for my fat stubby fingers. I'm with Blackbeer, my preferred low D is also a flute, but i've been playing mostly piccolo these days.

Hmm, one more thing about the Howard, it's not a very good whistle for playing long mournful notes; the sound is a little agressive compared to most. But it plays tunes well. Jumping the octave can be tricky, and mine has a tricky second octave e, that likes to squeak.

Here is a vote for the one I bought after playing a friend's large collection of famous and not so famous low D whistles. I liked his Bourke composite low D but the holes hurt my hand.

I ended up buying the Bourke AL-PRO Low D. He makes the barrel in two sections, allowing me to rotate the holes for each hand so I could play with my elbows dropped to my side. That made it much more ergonomic for me.

He has excellent workmanship, tuning and that reedy sound to die for.

The Susato low D. That is because it is the only one I have ever tried.
It sure sounds nice though.

Interesting, Piper...I'm doing more and more getting my elbow AWAY from my body. My fingers seem to work better that way. But I'm talking about my standard D, not the low D.

Favourite? My Ralph Cook D. Also have the barrels for E and F, but don't have opportunity to use them.

Easist? I like the Cook, but I've heard Dixons are even easier.
