Thanks so SO much for all your help, everyone. I think I'm going to order the Burke wide bore brass black tip model. It does sound, though, as if any Burke would be great.

Thanks again!

This thread has definitely given me inspiration to do another...I had no idea how complicated it was to choose a whistle.

It sounds gorgeous. Here's a picture:

Now I just have to improve my skills so I can justify having such a fine whistle!

Thanks again for your help, everyone.

Looks just like mine... and it's by far my favorite. I can sure relate to that cartoon as well... now, try getting two different people to agree as to the chord progression and then try getting them to play it the same way next time.

Tried my new Burke whistle at a session last night for the first time! I posted about it at:

(it's been just over a year since I started attending Irish music sessions)

Thanks so much for the advice and encouragement (not just about the whistle, either), everyone!
