I bought in a shop in Saratoga NY about two weeks ago
two non-tunable Chieftain F whistles. Both very nice.
Time to sell one (as I planned). This is a very good
whistle. I want 160, including shipping and insurance. USA please.

Thanks, Jim
Hmm, MM appears to be playing tunable Overtons in those clips. The non-tunable Chieftain F has round sides (and is actually a pretty good whistle).
mistake, corrected above.
confusion, corrected above.
Doesn’t follow. Whistle players are notoriously pluralistic.
He’s playing a Chieftain F here:

There’s a pretty clear view of the whistle head at 1:15s and it sure looks the same as mine. He’s playing an Overton in your link-- notice the flat sides at the head.
OK, thanks for bring this to my attention and
supplying an alternative clip.
Things sorted out a bit.
I listed at first this clip of Mike McGoldrick playing what I said
was a Chieftain non-tunable F. Wonderful clip, by the way.

It was pointed out that
the whistle head didn’t look right and so I substituted
another clip, kindly provided by Guinness.
I’ve heard from the maker. In the first clip Mike
is playing a kerry pro tunable F. In the substitute
he is indeed playing a non-tunable chieftain F.
