For what it's worth, I haven't deleted anything on this board, ever, for fear of being sued by anyone. I would not delete a post that I thought was fair and in keeping with the general mission of the board, even if threatened with legal action. I've deleted posts that I thought were unfair, personal, unfounded, harshly critical with no stated basis, and in recent days, to avoid negative and unfair competition among whistlemakers. Although I'm aware of examples cited above in which legal action has been taken, I frankly have never lost a minute of sleep from worry about being sued by a whistlemaker, player, or merchant.

Judging from what I've read on the GC board, I think you've done a great job. It's one thing to have post an opinion (however harsh) about the quality and playability of an instrument. It's quite another another thing to question someone's honesty in public forum. Particularly when it all seems to based on speculation and assumption. IMO, it's way out of bounds for a competitor to do such a thing, no matter the intention.

Is this THE DS whistle?

This is the same type of whistle used by Uilleann piper Davy Spillane at the beginning of the first "Riverdance" video.

BTW, I know what it really is.
