I'm quite happy with my Cheiftain low D whistle. The New Range lows are quite good and have been consistent at least among the couple I've had exposure to.JessieK wrote:I also think factory-produced whistles can play well (but Chieftains don't have a very good track record, if you ask anyone - with experience - other than Talbert/Keith/Barb).
I understood Jessie's point. Whether or not I agree aside, she was saying that Phil's design for Kerry Pros are identical (or nearly so) to that of Overtons.KDMARTINKY wrote:WOW, once again you placed your own spin on it in a way that hell, I'm confused. I have no idea what Phil using aluminum alloy and out-of -date coinage is related to my statement.
Um, Jessie said that other than Talbert, Barb, and you, no one else is going around saying that Chieftains are great and the best whistles out there.JesseK Referenced:
Talbert/Keith/Barb
There is no need to bring other individuals into this converstion Jesse. I am the one that made the comments.
Looking back at the original question, it not which whistle is your favorite, but which the best reputation. (My favorite whistle is my aluminum Burke high D.) Beyond that, I've never held, let alone played most of the great whistles described here. Most of what I know of whistles comes from what I read this board. I might humbly observe that, among high whistles, Copelands and O'Riordans are usually mentioned in almost reverential terms. For the lows, Overton seems to have that special aura.ennistraveler wrote:What are the most well-reputated tin whistles? And what is it that makes them so good?
