This is the first time I've listed my whistles on a post . . .
Sweet tone in D
Tony Dixon in D
Ralph Sweet (rosewood) in D
Generation in high G and C(just for fun)
Walton's LBW in D
Clark's tweeked orginal in D
Oh, yes, the dreaded Low D from Suato
I keep most of them in a nice thickly padded pouch I bought from Lark in the Morning.
I haven't bought a whistle in over a year. WHOA is past. Now I'm plotting for a guitar, which I still haven't bought, but I will this fall. I just ordered a set of instructional tapes on DADGAD from Homespun Tapes and have started browsing through a acoustic guitar site.
I have gone over to the dark side.

I sing the birdie tune
It makes the birdies swoon
It sends them to the moon
Just like a big balloon

Hmmm...
My wife's whistles: Clarke D original, Generation D blue-top, Walton LBW, Parkhurst E-flat, and Sweetone C. She also used to have a Susato D but gave it to one of her best friends who wanted to learn whistle.
My whistles: Clarke C original, Clarke C Sweetone, "Celtic" Sweetone D, unpainted Sweetone D, Meg D, Sweet Rosewood D, Sweet rosewood Killourhy D, Susato D-C-Bb set, Susato VSB D, 4 Generation D's (1 tweaked redtop, 1 good-out-of-the-box redtop, 1 bluetop, 1 greentop "folk"), 2 Walton brass D's, a Walton "Mello D", a heavily-tweaked Walton Guinness, three cane whistles ("sort of D") a Dixon D, a 2-piece Clare D, a Susato wide-bore low D, and an M&E polymer session D. I think that's all.
It's enough I'll probably get in trouble if my wife reads this!
Hmmm again...forgot some the first time round. Also Acorn D (a really nice whistle, by the way), and Feadog D (which I love for reels and jigs and hate for anything else).
Best to all,

Hmmmmm.
How many and what? Seems easier to list first then count, I think.
Overton: Low D, A, Bb, C, D, Eb
Chieftain: Low F, Low G, E
Silkstone: D
Hoover: Brass C, Narrow Bore D
Dixon: Low D
Water Weasel: C/D/E Set
Oak: D
Acorn: D
Feadog: D
Walton: Mellow D, LBD, Guinness D
Clare: 2-piece
Generation: Brass: C, D, G
Generation Nickel: Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G
Generation Antique G
Sweetone, 2 Cs
Susato: Low D, A, Bb/C/D Set
McHaffie C/D set
Cooperman American Fife (acually a rather gaudy pennywhistle)
Two Melody Flutes (Fifes with a permanent whistle mouthpiece), one plastic, one Metal both C
Antiques:
Calura B
Victor C
Eagle E
Pied Piper (Germany, US Occupied Zone) E
Two Old American ('20s) unmarked, roughly E
American souvenir whistle, maker unknown, approximately 1940s, roughly B
European, probably 19th century, similar to melody Flute, that Thomas Hastay identified as a "dummy's flute" for folks who couldn't play the real thing (like me).
So, counting everything, only 48 if you count the mouthpieces, 53 if you count all the tubes.
And just think - my WhOA passed about a year and a half ago.

Well so far :
Generation Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G
Sweetone (of course) D "play it all the time"whistle
Walton little black D
Shaw D
Clark C-D
TWZ (german) D
Chieftain high and low D
Overton low D
Howard low D
Susato low F
a polymer low D
and soon a Thin Weasel D I hope
So that makes it 17 so far, but it's not the quantity but the quality that counts I think.

This is fun seeing everyone's collection
I have:
Copeland
Nickel D,G, & low D
Cheiftain, All are the "gold" brass whistles
high D, C, A, Bb, F, and low D
About two weeks ago I got an e-mail saying that my Parkhurst C would be ready in about 3 days. Looks like Dave works on about the time schedule that I do!
That's a total of 9 and one on the way.
