Thanks to the Federal Geniuses I’m presently trying a little window shopping for a next step Whistle in the $100 to $200 price range. Am I better off buying directly from the Whistle Maker like Canadian David Orien; or from a Whistle Retailer like The Irish Flute Store ??? Any suggestions in either direction would be greatly appreciated as well as favorite Higher End Whistles???
Thanks Everyone Who Respond to Help,

It’s a tossup really. Doc can get you some sweet deals, but talking to the maker can not only get you closer to what you like, but make you a new friend to boot! Not that talking to Doc is a bad thing, he’s a real nice guy.
I’m guessing that the recent post from David has you drooling to get a new whistle…I can understand. Just remember…them purplehearts is MINE MINE MINE…though he can likely make more…hehe.
Our good friends at the IRS didn’t send you that money just so you could send it off to Canada! 
Seriously, it’s up to you. David makes some sweet whistles!
