Yikes! The Susatos are flying out of here! Maybe it’s because of the good prices, and/or the recent tweaking interest in them?
Anyway, since you only have the Bb and Low D left, I can put in a good word for the Low D. I just got one not long ago, and I like it very much! It has a nice woody tone, similar to Burke Composites.
And, as Susatos are noted for, quite in tune, and very responsive also. It’s a joy to play, and very nice and lightweight-very easy to hold. It doesn’t sound like a recorder to me, either! Just one of the better buys in an inexpensive Low D (and this one’s about $30 cheaper than new).
The only downside I can see is maybe the elongated low E hole, but I can cover it easily with my little finger (only to see if I could), and my little finger is tiny, for a man’s hand.
Anyway, nice whistle, as long as you don’t expect it to sound like metal!
