I managed to get the head off my blue Generation E flat and make it tuneable for a few weeks but last night i heard a cracking sound. I thought I had cracked a tooth but the head remained in my mouth and the body fell to the floor. Fortunately, after the discussion on here about Eflat whistles I managed to order a Susato from the Music room. Friend has one and it sounds quite nice.
I wonder if killing whistles is immoral? 
As immoral as tweaking and making Frankenwhistles. Poor things.
Not if you eat them, but killing them just to hang them on the wall is just sick.

PS Are there no prisons, and the work houses, are they full?
MMMmmmm, whistle sausage!
I was laughin so hard I almost forgot, I hope you will glue the head back together. Superglue works fine. Then maybe sand a little inside. There is nothing like a Gen Eb. Don`t rob your self of a truely fun whistle.

Tom’s right (as people named Tom seem to be, more often than not). I love my Gen Eb (after pouring some wax in the mouthpiece). Sorry for goofing off with your thread–couldn’t resist. Hope you can fix that thing.

Sorry to hear about that Selkie but you can probably fix it and get a new Gen as well. They seem to be more much consistently good these days and you don’t lose much if you get a dud that doesn’t tweak up OK.
On the Susatos, they are strange whistles taht don’t fit neatly into any categaory. In terms of price, they look like the whistle you buy when you’d like to move to high-end whistles but can’t quite afford to yet. This is a bit of a pity. They are actually quite hard to control—you need to learn to play them—and they are loud but pure in a way that many whistlers don’t like.
I’d put mine aside and given a couple away. Yesterday I picked up my high Eb for the first time in ages and loved it. (This from someone who plays Overton and Abell high Ebs.) It felt and sounded good to me.
The sound is another thing that generates more controversy than it need do. Sometimes Susatos do sound a bit recorderish to the player. Rest assured, they sound much more like other whistles to the hearer and, if you record one, you won’t notice a stark difference between it’s sound and that of other whistles.
This generation is unfixable. 
It broke in two bits and I tried superglue but every time I put the tube back in it broke again. The Susato I ordered from the Music Room arrive and actually is pretty good for a cheapie. It’s louder than the Generation but not quite as loud as the cornets. Mouthpiece on it will take some getting used to. feels like an inch or so is missing for some reason. 
Tom, would you use the whistle tube as the casing, or grind it up for the stuffing?
