Have you searched the archives? We've done this one thoroughly before.

Seriously, I'm happy to play this game again. It's one we never get tired of. Currently, my Overton Eb, Bb and low F, Copeland low D and Burke AlPro C and low G.

My current favourites are my new Sindt's in Eb and D (they arrived last week,and just get even better the more I become acquainted with them!),Bernard Overton 'G',Colin Goldie 'F',Generation brass Bb(I kid you not),Tony Dixon 'F' (for it's mellow sound- a great 'after hours' whistle).

Favorite inexpensive: Oak, by a wide margin.

Generation Bb!

And Overton Low F for playing Lunasaish duets with Jens. For we all love Lunasa (That's a given)

My current favorite whistle is a Copperhead retrofit head on a brass Feadóg D tube.

C: Thin Weasel by a longshot
low-G: Burke AlPro
low-E: Burke composite
low-D: Copeland by a longshot (and three months ago I thought the Burke AlPro was the only low-D out there for me)

I have four inexpensive whistles all in D. Waltons, Susato, Clarke Sweetone, Clarke Original, and Clarke Meg. My favorite is the Clarke Meg

James,

The Cronnolly you're talking about, is it the heavy duty whistle in delrin? I tried it once and, well, let's say that Susato is a quiet whistle compared to it. I'm surprised that it's your favorite whistle.
