Hello Folks
Need some advice from all the experience out there. Can you recommend a good mid price C whistle?
I have a O Brien D and was also considering the purchase a C body for it.

Thanks in advance,
Fredo

If you've got an O'Brien D, and you like it, I see no reason not to get a C body for it.

If you really want a different C whistle, you can't go wrong with a Syn C.

I'm sure this is overdone... but, it would be a sin, to not own a Syn... haha...

Seriously though, they are great whistles, and Erle is a great guy to do business with.

I would also say if you like the O Brian D get the C also. Feadog also makes a good C. Waltons C sounds good with a tweak.

Honestly I never met a C I didn't like...I think I have 'em all from Gen through Abell, Sweetheart, Walton's, Syn, Burke. . .If you have a D that you like, why not just try the associated C?

Terrific available C whistles for me are Sindt, Burke black tip, Erle's Black Diamond.

The John Sindt C whistle is the finest C whistle I have EVER played.

I have to agree that it's hard to find a C that I don't like. It's sort of like that for Bb for me too.

I use the Obrien C tube now exclusively (and his Bb). With the choice of heads I find that I can vary the sound and feel just fine with only one tube.

Of course, as I said above, it's not too hard to find a C that you can be happy with.

I've been waiting patiently for my Sindt C that I ordered a year ago. Apparently, I still have a month or two to wait.........

Susato C's are very good too.

The Jerry Freeman tweaked Generation C is an excellent whistle, $40.

I've played some nice high end whistles (Burke, and Water Weasel among them) but I still keep coming back to that trad sound of the Clarke. Their C whistle is quite lovely. It's mellow and a little chiffy, and the cedar block smells good

Of course, it's all a matter of preference.
All the best in your search!

Sindt all the way.

Buy a Susato C whilst you are waiting for the Sindt to arrive. Have a listen to what Cormac Breatnach does with one!

The Sindt C I have is probably the nicest sounding of any whistle I have ever played.
