another "what kind of whistle is this" (picture)

I know Micah plays a variety of whistles and when I met him, he said he also played a Davy Spillane whistle. Is this the whistle and if not, anyone know what it is? Sorry, I’m pretty new and I can’t recognize whistle heads very well yet.

I’ve got a DVD and could pull some more head-on screenshots if this isn’t enough.

EDIT: Looks similar to a Howard.

From what I have heard, Davy Spillane emphatically states that he has only ever made whistles for himself and has never sold any.

That certainly looks like a Howard to me, but thats just my guess :smiley: .

Bloomfield did some excellent job on this one.

Hmmm… well I don’t know whether or not he sells them, just know Micah told me he plays a Davy Spillane whistle.

Looking at that Bloomfield topic, these two pictures do look very similar:

Davy does indeed make and sell low whistles with plastic heads. He said (in an email to me) he has never sold an all metal whistle.
