With that said, I have a small army of D whistles that I carry to the session because the sonic quality of our session can vary wildly from week to week. So for example, if we have a fiddler army come in, or 2 squeeze boxes going at it, I go straight for my Seery. The finish isn't that great, but the sound fits perfectly, and doesn't overblow (which, when facing a herd of fiddlers, I tend to do...) Other nights I play Susato or my aluminum Dixon! At the end of the day, finding the whistle that suits you best is a long and expensive road, but when you get to the end, it is like seeing an old friend that has always been there somewhere; you simply lost their address...
