What whistle do you play the most?
We haven't done one of these for awhile and I thought it time to update our list. What whistle do you play the most and where? For me it's a Gary Humphrey Retrofit Head on a Feadog body in the minivan at stoplights and waiting for the kids to get in the car when I pick them up from school. (that could be a bit too much info, but you know how we perfectionists can get-it's in the details) So give me some details you guys.

It has just changed. I now play my one piece Nickel Clare D completely un-tweaked more than the others. It is followed closely by my Feadan D which appears to be very similar to the Clare, perhaps an ancestor. The others most often played are a self tweaked Feadog D and a self tweaked Gen D. The others get played when I feel like it. I usually play at my computer desk in my office/den/family room/spare bedroom.
I really like this Clare. It is easy to play in the first and second octave and even into the 3rd octave. I think I will order an Oak D since so many have commented on the sound of the Oak.
Keep whistling
