- Tell us something.: Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Part of what I love about celtic/folk style music is the sound of a handful of handmade instruments that remind me of simpler times.

Just for fun now . . . if you could only have three high d whistles for an indefinite period of time, what would you get (could be a dream whistle or what you can afford). Would you pick by materials, sound, . . . ?
There's no such thing as a stranger, just friends we have not yet met.

1) the whistle that would make me play tongued ornaments like sean ryan or brian finnegan
2) the whistle that would make me play fingered ornaments like mary bergin or michael mcgoldrick
3) the whistle that would make me play with soul like miko russell or joe bane
you did say "dream whistle", didn't you?

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

1. Busman Delrin for durability, packability, complexity of sound, and great looks. Perfect for travel when you want to be heard.
2. Laughing for its cool telescoping design and quiet, sweet tone - perfect for
travel when you want to be unobtrusive.
3. Busman or Greenwood in any kind of wood for sheer beauty and complexity of sound.

Can't vote for what I've never played, so these are all ones that I have:
Burke aluminum narrow-bore (Delrin mouthpiece)
Hoover CPVC with brass trim
Humphrey Stealth
I based this on variety of sound--all pleasant, all different--rather than more practical considerations, like durability.
