Most handsome whistle?

Okay, I know that function is always more important than form, but just out of curiosity, which whistle do you think is the most good-looking one?

Come on, yavuz! You can't start a poll like this without giving your opinion on the matter!

When it comes to design, I really like the Colin Goldie Overtons. Very sleak aluminum with a unique fipple....looks very professional

and I get a lot of complements on the ones that I have.

It would have been better if you put a wider angle photo of that wooden whistle. It looks good though.

Well, I really like the look of my dixon D high one piece whistle. Ok, I know it is made of cheap plastic and everything but still, it's simplicity and pure blackness is haunting

I have a Thin Weasel A in rosewood and it would have to be my favorite. Certainly the most attractive whistle I own. My Overton Low D is also a very handsome musical machine.

I like my Generation pretty good.

The Abells are nice, too.

After a bit of a hiatus, I have returned (and the peasants rejoyced).

In terms of the metal whistles, I love the clean, sleek lines of the Dixon aluminium. You have the contrast of the black polymer fipple with the aluminium body with a brushed finish that gives the whistle a soft glow, accented with the brass ring of the tuning slide...beautiful.

I don't have much experience with wooden whistles (I've only had the pleasure of playing one, a Busman if I recall. I was quite enamored with the beautiful wood grain.

My Alba Q1 is the nicest looking whistle I have seen. Every time I play it I get comments on what a nice looking whistle it is and what a nice tone it has.

After looking at Mr. Busman's extensive collection of whistles (his own and many others) I would have to say that the most handsome whistle I have ever seen is a Busman whistle in Olivewood - Sounds nice, too!

At the moment, this is still my favorite whistle for looks ... http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?p=454844#454844
