How many whistles do you own?

[SirNick]

The funny thing is, I love my "not so expensive" Jerry Tweaked Gen just as much as a very expensive Schultz A. I'm always excited to get any new whistle, from an Oak to an Abell. Every evening I pick two or three and run through a set of tunes. You really get to know the different nuaces of the whistles like that. So anyway.... at least a D from each maker isn't too much to ask for. (That last line was for myself, it's my possitive daily affirmation! )

Let's see;

O'Riordan concert set D/C in cocobolo, which I very rarely take to a session anymore. Don't want to leave it on the table.

Burke Brass Pro D - main session whistle

Burke Low A, Low G

Susato B flat

Generation F, HIgh G, and B flat

Casey Burns D flute in mopane.

I'll have one more when I (eventually) get the Alba C I ordered a week or two ago from GC.

For instance, I still have my original Feadog from 15 some odd years ago. The holes are completely worn out from being played for hours and hours at a time, well until my fingers were tarnished black. And there's just the slightest bend, along with a dent, in the middle of it; from an unfortunate fall down an elevator shaft. ( Fell out of my pocket and rolled right to the crack and down she went) Despite all that, it still sounds really good, well at least it does to me. hehe

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing.

Ahve got six. Old and battered Generation Bb and G...still sound sweet, cheap non-branded D and G which sound fine, Clarke Original C and D which ah adore.
Not one has fallen down an elevator shaft.
Ah was thinking of going for a Low D. Ah love the breathyness of the Clarke Original - ma hands would appreciate closer spaced holes - ah think ah could handle (or learn to handle) the 'huge air requirement' ahve read so much about - is the Shaw the one for me?

I live in high rise apartment building and whenever the lift (elevator) breaks down with somebody in it ,the local Fire Brigade are sent for to do the necessary.
I think Firemans board name might be connected to this.

Playing the whistle would be a great way to pass the time between callouts.

Stunning album.

[Daniel_Bingamon]

I have to hold off on voting. Whistles are too fluidic here.

At what point does a piece of pipe in it's developmental stages become a whistle? It's kind of like when a fetus becomes a baby.
