Looking for this whistle sound

Hello! I have uploaded an mp3 file taken from a Colm O’donnell recording, only 30 seconds, and I’d like to know a whistle that sounds like it, so help me please! :slight_smile: Thanks in advance.

I thinks it’s a Dixon Bb whistle.

In this moments there are four options suggested:

1- Kerrypro/chieftain
2- Overton
3- John Sindt
4- Dixon

Any more? Thanx!

Yeah, maybe it could be a Laughing whistle Bb but I still think it’s a Dixon.
I found a soundclip of a Dixon A whistle: http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/Audio/6-03/MerrilyKissQuakersWife,MerrilyDanceQuakerMacEachan.mp3
I think that sound is very similar to the clip you posted.

Hmmm… Track 4 on Farewell to Evening Dances, eh? Definitely a Bb. I can’t find my copy of the CD to check the liner notes, but my guess would be a Generation Bb.

Sounds just like a Dixon to me… that sweet, “closed” sound…
Also it seems the mic was near the end of the whistle, not close to the window so it could be difficult to identify the sound.

what a lovely tune that is!

Yesterday I was listening some dixon samples and I think it could be a Dixon indeed.

Yes! It’s a wonderful tune :laughing:
