Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

Wish I could see the mouthpiece better, but the bottom looks a lot like Susato.

Best.

Almost certainly a Susato.

Who is that?

It looks to me like the chocolate colored Susato with a Mike taped to it. I have a Susato here that looks exactly like it.
I've never met a whistle I didn't want.

i find that mic mighty close to the window...almost blocking the airflow.

yes, does look like a susato, apart from that seam, just below the fipple, that could however be the tape too...

Yes, Susato for sure. Any idea about what pitch? Bb perhaps. I have one in A and it looks a bit larger. I don't like my Susato at all by the way. I use it when I need to make a whistle-like noise that will to cut trough other noise, or when I want to terrorise the audience for one reason or another.

Definitely a Susato...it looks too small to be a Bb whistle...looks more like a D to me.

I love my Susatos...bound and determined to get a whole set of the things...have D, C, Bb, A, and G right now...what's next? No idea but I love the sound!

Susato, no doubt. Problably D, maybe Eflat.
