Do whistles burn?

Ok, to make a long winded post short: What whistles are most important in your collection?

To make a short post long: Lets say that there was a fire (or tornado, or earthquake or act of dog) and all your whistles were lost (forgive me for suggesting this). The fipples melted and mangled beyond recognition, the tubes twisted and gnarled in to little metal pretzels. What whistles would you run out and get tomorrow to start rebuilding your collection?

My brass Burkes, in D, C, and Bb. My low Burkes in aluminum: F and d.

But what a thought!!

Is that really covered in insurance?

Of the ones I have now which I would replace:

Generation D
Ó Briain Improved D
Susato VSB D
Susato SB D
Ó Briain Improved Eb

Possible new acquisition:

Sindt D

There are several which I would not replace, but I hope that they all would be resurrected and played in that big session in the sky.

For me, it would definetly have to be my Clarke Origs, and possibly my Doolin D and my Susato D.

My Weltmeister and Feadogs, I could live without...

I'd take the insurance money and buy all the whistles I never owned the first time around.

Burke WBB D...then a new Sweetheart D...possibly even in the reverse order. Then I'd probably go looking for another A and C, probably Burke.

Right now, the only one I'd run right out and replace is my O Briain "improved," but I know my soon-to-be mine Elfsong would be on that list too.

Hmmm...now, if the insurance money was REALLY good, I can sure think of a few I'd add to the collection....

Redwolf, if the insurance $$ was really good, I'm sure all of us could think of a few to add to the collection...!

A black-and-tacky-gold-diamond Clarke trad in D, a new lathe and milling machine, and several hundred feet of brass tubing in assorted diameters.

Hey! Wait a minute! You mean my Elfsong got melted too? No it did not! You came in and stole it, and set my place on fire to cover up the theft! I've seen this stuff over and over on TV, and you're not gonna get away with it! You go buy your own Copper Tone, and gimme mine back! Mom! Dad! That big bully stole my whistle, and my lunch money, and kicked me in the shins and set the house on fire!

(Get away from me with that jacket! I'm already calm, I tell you!!!)

Ms. Kerbopple, I ate the red fipple and it tastes like burning!
