- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

If you go up to $90 you can't beat a Sindt. But that wasn't your question, was it?

I'd go with O'Brien "C", a very balanced whistle.
I've tried a Dixon "D" and that's was nice, very sweet but i found the breath control quite fragile.
Black Diamond "D" was very playable but i didn't like the voice or what i consider to be high back pressure.
I haven't tried one, but lots of people rave about Gerry's Mellow Dogs.

- 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...

This brings to light somthing! My taste in whistles has changed. A year ago had this same question been asked, I prolly would have named a whistle brand that has quite abit of chiff and breathiness. Both of the afore mentioned whistles are extremely mellow whistles, low chiff, and low breathiness.

I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family.

Water Weasels. Alas.
Actually, I think they're the only whistles I've played in this price range, unless you count the Weltmeister. Or some used ones, of which the Burke WBB (I think it lists for $90 now) is not only the best in this range, but one of the best period.

In that price range I'd have to say Syn.
My finding was that if you get a good one, its worth a lot more than you paid for it. If you DON'T get a good one its worth about what you paid for it. Either way its money well spent.
