Ok guys here’s a test. This is a clip of McGoldrick playing a whistle, but what type of whistle is it? I think it sounds amazing, but then anything he plays tends to do so. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LBfRjZcmjo&mode=related&search=
let me know what you guys think.
Looks like a Chieftain. Could be an Overton, I suppose, but that mouthpiece looks suspiciously rounded.
I believe you will find that it is a Kerry Pro.

Any guess on what key?
I think it’s a Chieftain or Kerry.
That was the best pic I could grab of the whistle, and it doesn’t have that distinctive Overton look, where the mouthpiece/head area is narrower than the body (which you can see here http://www.overton.de/GRAFIK/relativities.jpg )
As to the key, the last note of the tune sounds like F to me, and since that’s the bell note of the whistle, that’s my guess 
That’s bolstered by the fact that Phil says on his website that Mr McGoldrick uses the Kerry Pro low F.
i had a feeling that it was a kerry F, but it doesn’t quite sound like the clips on the web. Plus if you look at the hole spacing it looks different than the photos on the kerry site for his F (based on the video clips of his F). So i’m sure i’m probably wrong, but i think it might be something different. But i’m almost positive that its in the key of F.
Okay then, I guess we have that all cleared up!

I am completly positive that it is an F whistle he ends with all his fingers down and the only whistle that ca nplay in F with all the holes closed is an F whistle.
Or it could be an earlier version of the Kerry whistle with a slightly different hole configuration.
It’s pretty clear to me what it is, but I’m not saying. Sorry.

Ho ho ho

Hmmmmmmm… fondness of detective-like stuff. Common tendency in the typical Scorpius. Or a side effect of WhOA?
Sounds like those children’s discussions when one says “YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!”, then the other “YES, I KNOW, BUT I’M NOT SAYING!”, then the other says to provoke Mr. Oracle “I DOUBT THAT YOU KNOW! I DARE YOU TO SAY IT!”
I have it from the highest source (well, not that high) that this is a Chieftain OS F. Case closed. 
Not quite, I know exactly what it is, but I don’t care to advertise for the maker.

It’s a Chieftain F NR
