hi folks,
I need a tunable high D whistle. It should be loud enough but not shrill. I live in Europe and I need that whistle very soon. any ideas what I should buy and where I can buy it?
thanks for your help,

Your budget and type of music played will determine which tunable high D whistle.
Hi Claudine! Ça va? Haven’t seen you here in a long time. 
Do you still have your Burke D? Do you want something louder than that? Maybe if you tell us your intended use, we can suggest something specific.
I still have the Burke, but the tuning slide is blocked
Right after writing my last post, I remembered that I had the same problem (tuning slide stuck) a few years ago. Back then you had given me some advice how to fix the problem. Now I found that old thread, followed your instructions and voilà! the Burke is in working order again. 
I don’t remember what I told you, but I’m very glad it worked!

Hold it over a hot flame for a few minutes and bang it on the edge of the table a few times?
Yes, that was probably it. 
That might work on the tin whistle, but it’s no substitute for seeing a urologist. 
Please don’t try that with a wooden whistle!
claudine,
Have you ever played a Susato ? Susato is about the loudest I’ve played. Does really well in outdoor or crowded settings. Also, their unit-to-unit quality is the best I’ve seen in whistles.
If you’re in a real hurry, I’d send an email to them and ask if they have any distributors close to you.
What event are you gearing up for ?
trill
yes I have a Susato but I don’t really like it. as my Burke is playable again, I will use that for my little gig (outdoor yes).
