Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Based on the cloth case it comes with I would venture to say it is a Bernard Overton whistle. Not that there is anything wrong with that! :boggle:

Man, I wish people would list whistles all in the same eBay category!
The majority of whistles are listed under Other Woodwinds but some people always try to list them under Flutes. They aren't flutes, people. How am I supposed to get any good deals if I can't find everything in the same place? :wink:
sheesh...

Perhaps, but I sure wouldn't want to try whistling on a haggis!

Am I correct is assuming that "The Whistle Smith" is a brand that I should avoid?

I see their stuff on eBay all the time, and something in the back of mind warns me away.

The Whistle Smith brand isn't too bad. Similiar to a Dixon (the all plastic one) in sound IMO ... although I like the Dixon better. I haven't tried any key but a soprano D. It all depends on what you're looking for in a whistle. :)
