Isn't this like asking who has the cutest grandkids?

I'll be honest, I always choose the whistle that goes best with my outfit.

I don't own one of these, but I like the rustic look:

I think the wood whistles win hands down on this one. Hard to beat the texture and unique look of a well made wooden instrument.

In metal, whistles, however, I like the MK Whistles because the colors are so striking.

Understand they sound good too, but I missed my chance to see them in a local store. Sold out!

Best looking whistle is clearly my Parkhurst copper - really no other whistle quite like it.

This Eb by Paul Busman counts as at least reasonably handsome:

Dude! Get a fig leaf or something on that top whistle, it's naked!

Good thing it was a sunny day when that picture was taken, otherwise that poor guy (girl?) would have been freezing.

I like the look of the low Reyburns with the wooden mouthpieces

The most beautiful whistle is the one between your fingers on a warm Fall afternoon.

Hi Guys and gals,

I've not seen one in the flesh, but am considering a purchase soon, of a Silkstone Ace D+, fab design four sections with rings, really looks the business.

A very pretty young girl I knew used to purse her lovely lips, and exhale ever so gently. That was a lovely whsitle in my opinion!

But what could by more ruggedly handsome than this Beastie? Simplistic, 'old school' design and craftsmansip, and not inarged to show texture!

Did someone say "ruggedly handsome?"

Weird whistles he? I saw them at Colin Goldie's, he has them in his collection as well. I didn't like the way they play, the holes don't play nicely especially when you have thicker fingers, they are very breathy, take loads of air. Don't know where they come from though.

I'm not voting on most handsome, since I'm somewhat prejudiced...

I do have one of those rustic whistles, without bark which I got from Colin. It's approximately in F and I LOVE the way it plays. Sort of recorderish, which to me is not a bad thing. The fact that this fellow supposedly makes these whistles with no power tools at all is simply astounding.
