What whistle are you waiting for right now?

Hi

I've got a copper Bb, C, D, E and Eb set coming from David O'Brien. One head, five bodies. I've had him make the set with two piece bodies. Heck that's 11 parts! I hope he marks all the bits with the key to avoid confusion.

So, what whistle are you waiting for?

I'm saving money for many whistles that I want to buy after december 31. My list is quite long.. Susato Low D, Susato high E, Oak D/C, Sweetone D/C, Dixon Trad D, Walton Mellow D and maybe I'm forgetting 1 or 2

Mack Hoover made me a low-G in mahogany and delrin, (to be a Christmas gift from my wife -- won't I be surprised!). It shipped, but I gotta wait two weeks!

I'm not waiting for a whistle. I'm saving for a full conservatory oboe.

Unfortunately that will take a while. I must have patience....

i occasionally scour thift stores and pawn shops. i am waiting to find a alba low d and have the store be clueless as to what it is and sell it to me for $10 or less. i even have a strategy of playing it really badly in the store so that they don't realize it's potential.

I'm not waiting for one. I already have, from lowest to highest, a G, Bb, C, D, Eb.

Every once in a while I think about a low D. And sometimes I think why not complete the set and get the F and high G. Ha ha. That would teach my birds a lesson. (as if the Eb wasn't shrill enough!)

I'm currently quite content with my two favorite whistles, both Burkes, the high brass D, and the magnificent Viper (low aluminum D).

I am however, seriously considering a new mandolin. After many many years of steadfast loyalty to my Martin A model, I'm thinking maybe it's time to look at something new.

I dunno, maybe it's a midlife crisis. At least I'm not tempted by red sports cars.

I've got my eye on 2 things for after the holidays, a Burke Viper and possibly a Hoover white cap for my Generation Bb body.

I'm waiting for Pat O'Riordan to open up his waiting list again, so that I can order the modern version of the whistle he made for Micho Russell.

What kind are you going to get? (My bassoon is a long bore Fox Renard.)

Two EveryWhistles, any day now.

Two Stewart whistles, but I don't expect them to be completed until the middle of next year.

I have a Chieftan low G sitting in my stocking waiting for me. When everything is quiet, I'm sure I hear it calling me.
