Prior to Xmas, it was my Generation Brass D, followed closely by my Clarke Sweettone and my Susato narrow bore.
After Xmas, my new Burke Brass Session D pushed all of those aside. Love it love it love it! It's now my #1 by a landslide. I still noodle with the Gen and the Clarke a couple of times a week or so. I barely even look at my Susato anymore.

Aaargh... I have a new favourite that now equals my Sweetone D and which I'm playing all the time. Actually, although I say new, it's really just the tube from my first ever whistle (a brass Feadog D) with the red mouthpiece from a brass Generation D stuck on it.
I had two Feadogs, both of which suffered from cracked mouthpieces which was a shame because I found the tubes to be more reliably in tune than Generation tubes. The hybrid is a bit sharp if you shove the tube all the way into the mouthpiece, but by pulling it out about 5mm I now have a cheap, cheerful hybrid that plays brilliantly and is in better tune than any of my other whistles.
I'm a dedicated fan of rock bottom cheap instruments. It's a kind of inverted snobbery, I guess. It all started when I got a cheap Yamaha guitar that kicked the arse of any Fender I ever played...
At least this cheap thing means that for me WHOA is not a bank-breaking disorder.
Sorry, I seem to be straying off topic here...
