http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?p=475939#475939 got me wondering what other people use as their take-everywhere-I-go-in-the-bottom-of-my-bag-whistle. I've had a few, and have just ordered a 2 piece Doolin (can't wait), but I like the look of dfernandez77's Serpent village smithy.

My new (to me) Water Weasel Eb hasn't left my pocket since I got it. I might want to carry a D if I thought that I'd ever encounter another person who'd want to play with me. But, since it's all solo anyway, my Eb suits me fine!

Chieftain High D, Hammer Of the Gods. See http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=36869

Although I'm beginning to think I could use something a little quieter. You know . . . for dates. Like when the conversation runs out and they've only just brought the salads. Or when she wants to see one of those girly movies and I just can't keep my attention on it.

Susato High D. Tough plastic, dark color, most reliable whistle in my stable.

That is the one I would go for if I was to choose.

It's a really fine whistle.

Usually have Susato D, C & B in my bag. They were with me in my rucksack this morning as I set off to the hill I was going to climb. I stopped at the post office on the way and collected my Water Weasel D which is now very likely to live in my bag and replace the Susato D. It is an AMAZING whistle!

I have a Gen or Sweetheart in my bag, and Freeman tweaked Gens in each car.

Herbison D, it's usually floating around in the bottom of my pack somewhere.

Oak or Acorn D. Not because they are geat whistles. In fact, because they *aren't* great whistles. Although I do like the Acorn.

My choice is the collapsing Laughing Whistle by Noah Herbison - goes everywher in my briefcase and has been to France twice.

Size is excellent (collapsed) and is quite quiet to satisfy that play anywhere desire.

Plays in tune as well!

I carry my "fiver" O'Brien set in the car. They are so strong walled I don't have to worry about changes of weather or mis-steps or drops. They stay in the nice tartan bag they came in until used.
They are really a great set to carry with you. If I get stuck waiting at the mall, I can go out and put a CD on in the car and play along in any of five keys Bb-C-D-Eb-E. They are in tune - the only caveat is to warm them up pretty well if they have been setting in the car during the cold weather we have been getting.

Maybe "Down the road" a Busman Delrin will get the nod also. I love my Busmans but can't trust the weather now.
