Well I went and did it. I bought a whistle. I used to have one many moons ago and I’ve also spent some time tootling on a bamboo flute of the six hole variety but, alas, both of those instruments have vanished into the mists of something or other.
In any event, it’s all y’alls fault. Now I have to learn something all Celtic instead of my usual repetoire of xmas carols.
I got one of the “tunable” Susatos in “D”. Hope I’ve chosen “wisely”. cough Sorry.
I guessed you’ve lurked long enough to get a feel for the…um…style…'round here. Glad you succumbed.
Just make sure you don’t leave the toilet seat up. 
heidi
Hey Howlin, I’m a new whistler myself so my advice isn’t really based on experience as much as what I’ve learned here. You could consider getting another inexpensive whistle for some variety and to compare the Susato to. The Dixons are often mentioned as the easiest whistles to play and are about $18. at the whistle shop for the non-tunable model. For learning, you may have your own game plan but the Bill Ochs book and cd, it’s about $12.50 now on amazon, seems to be highly recommended. For others opinions on the Susatos, put in a search on them and read past postings. Stick with it, it’s alot of fun! -mike
I thought the toilet seat WAS supposed to be left up!
Terlit wattah iznot gud firyir dawgs tuh drank.
wes keep the dogs out in the yard, both here and back in Limavady.
Wow. You folk are fast on the draw.
Thanks for the welcomes.
Thanks for the advice.
Don’t get me started on the toilet seat thing.
Oh, and Emmline – my beautiful and beloved custom 'ukulele came from a luthier in your hometown.
Gotta log off. Cat is having affection issues.
Some of us have more style than others
Welcome to the board…tis a wild bunch that congragates here. But you seem to be fitting in nicely. Just be careful…a few of us aren’t right in the head… 
Which few?
hmmm…well, you, and I, and Em, and Bloom…I’m not sure who else. I’d have to think about it for a while.
True enough, Bloom is off his rocker. Field is pretty together, though. Exercises regularly and so on.
Should read…
Just be careful…a few of us are right in the head…
Oh, that British sense of humour.
You know none of us are right in the head.
coke was once my favourite softdrink.
So what are yer doing with it now…Amar 
You suppose Amar’s comment refers to Cranberry’s avatar?
Na’h that would not put him off
he would just use a straw.
Welcome to bedlam, Howlin’ Hobbit. Your website is cool – makes me wonder just where I left my baritone uke. May your Susato be only the first of an evergrowing collection.
You know none of us are right in the head.
Every left-hander aboard is in their “right” mind …
