I have another mystery whistle

Whistle
1

Thank you, Moof! That was a quick answer and I’m 99% sure that the maker of my C whistle is identified now. Now I’ve got a tough one for you.

This is really throwing a pebble down a well, but why not try? Brass, low G. No letters, no identification that I can find. Again, I’ve had this one for several years, don’t remember where I got it. Throwing in a couple of pictures that might be helpful.

not as critical as the Burke, because I would like to get a low F, and I really like that C. But it’s just nice to have a paper trail to follow my instruments. Any help appreciated, and I understand if this one is not gonna be identifiable because of the lack of markings. Worth asking though.

There seem to be two different whistles in the pics?

The first three look like a Reyburn, but the bottom one looks more like another Burke.

I’m not sure about the ID (never had a Reyburn), but the head and the slide do look the right shape.

Agree on both counts: 1) top 3 look like my Reyburn, 2) pic 4 is different.

It’s the same whistle. I’ll try to put up better pictures.

It’s the same whistle, unless I made a mistake loading pictures. Will retake and post.

Nope, you guys are right. That last picture, I grabbed my Shearwater Bb. Will repost.

also, I looked up the Reyburn website, and as soon as I got there, I recognized it. I’m pretty sure that you are correct that that is the whistle. Thanks a lot for the help.

My apologies for the mixup. I grabbed the wrong whistle when I decided that one more picture might help clarify things.

I have edited that to have the right photos in there now.

That other whistle is a Shearwater. The maker seems to be out of the business, can’t find his website anymore. That was another used whistle purchase.

My mistake, please accept my apologies. Pictures have been corrected.

No probs. We’re all human.:slightly_smiling_face:

[glances around nervously] I didn’t see that listed as a requirement when I registered…:alien:

It isn’t, but a sense of humour is. :+1::wink:
