This is just the coolest little whistle! It has taken some getting used to, but I find I’m playing it constantly right now. The gasp factor is really not that bad unless I’m trying to force it to play louder than it’s meant to be played. Truly nifty little piece of work!

Clarkes are splendid. 
My first whistle was a Clarke. I love how they sound.
edit
I put an ebid down on what looks like an old Clarke, but with a diff logo: Victor. And theoretically made in Japan. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against my Clarke w/ diamonds, if I win it!
