2. Medium when playing solo, Loud for a large session (or quiet in a session if I don't know the tune real well but want to have a bash at it).
3. Conical
4. Given only those two choices I would opt for plastic. How about metal (Overton, etc.) or metal & plastic (Copeland, etc.)?
5. Metal
6. Virtually No Chiff, or A Tone As Pure As Crystal
7. I’m getting better…honest!
8. No comment.
9. A. Feadog (McCullough Pigott model)
B. Copeland
10. My 10year old Copeland is as close as I have gotten. There really isn’t such a thing for me though. I like different whistle characteristics for different situations.

I'm not at liberty to tell you anything about them because I'm sorta confused myself, but all I can say is, ASK DALE.
Light spills into the hidden valley,
Illuminating the falls, paths, and
The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;
I am finally home. ~Isilwen Elanessë
