Liam O'Flynn Whistle Brand

Whistle

Does anyone know what brand tin whistle Liam O’Flynn plays? Can’t seem to nail down what brand it is on the Planxty Live DVD. Thanks!

I have a video performance of him at a Lisdoonvarna Folk Festival (Co. Clare I believe) in 1981 with Planxty, and it looks he appears to be playing a blue top nickel Generation.

In the Planxty concert in London two years ago he played a Generation which looked like a Bb size and one of Michael Burke’s brass whistles which looked like C (just checked with Colin, yep he thinks C)

Hope this helps
