I'm with you on that. . .Burke WBB soprano D. Sweet on airs, snappy response on jigs and reels, medium loud, primary session key. The perfect whistle.

Hmmm...not my <i>favorite</i> whistle, but perhaps the most dependable, durable, and versatile whistle in my stable: Dixon sop D w/brass tuning slide.

For all intents and purposes, I have five whistles. None of which are super great. But on thought, I don't want to narrow it down to just one, because I need more than that to play in various keys. And sometimes I want a different sound for a different tune. I might want a Clarke sound on one, and a brass sound on another.

Any one previously owned by Andrea Corrs!! :wink:

Being a beginner I dont know that many brands..... but in my imagination I would like a beautiful copper one with a nice patina and doesnt taste yucky.... maybe the fipple is laminated and the body is exposed. And probably it is a low whistle, they sound sexy! And just a little battered so it looks well-loved.
And of course it sounds marvellous!

There are several I love, but going on only those I own and limited to only one, it'd be my Silkstone PVC in Green.
