I’d have guessed an LBW as well, but not any old LBW – an Avery-tweaked LBW.

My guess would be…
A Busman Delrin D+, that run for around $265 direct from Paul.
My guess is…
Waltons Guinness D
Are you talking about the passing note in the triplet(s)? That’s a pretty standard thing on whistle, just for ease of playing. To my ear, he’s definitely playing the one real “D” in the melody (first part, anyway) as D flat.
If he were playing it D natural, it would just make the tune be in F dorian rather than F minor.
(For those of you who (sensibly) think of the tune in terms of a D whistle, the question is C# instead of C-nat, and E minor or E dorian.)
What he said ![]()
If you thinking in terms of sheet music, I think we’re talking about measure four. If you don’t think in terms of sheet music, I think we’re talking about the middle of the A part before it starts to repeat and vary. In that spot, I rip out a triplet, and I just play that last note all-open (C# on a D whistle, D on an Eb whistle), for speed and convenience. It’s a habit I’ve picked up learning from recordings, and I don’t really even think about it any more.
At the end of the A part (measure 8 ) just before the repeat, I play a full-length note (rather than a triplet riff) and take the care to flatten it appropriately with cross-fingering, so Colomon’s spot on.
You guys have good ears ![]()
Yeah, I guess it is a passing note… It stood out to me, perhaps
because it was accented, or because it is at the end of the triplet.
I was undecided about that one (I assume you’re talking about the
last measure of the A part). I sounded like it could still have been
natural to me, or I would have let the first one go as a fluke. I’ll have
to listen again when I get home.
Ah, thanks. I was trying to figure out what key that would force it into…
EDIT:
I stand corrected. (Stupid cross-posting.)
Hehe! I had to pull out my whistle and play the tune to myself just to be sure ![]()

By the way, your playing, as always, is excellent.
The ornaments on the f’s in the second measure are very crisp.
I always try to roll those too early, and they sound muddled…

Aww, shucks…you know, when I play, I’m never really satisfied with my rolls. I still think I’ve got a long way to go before I’ve got the proverbial black belt.
Speaking of black belts, it seems to me that there’s a lot in common between practicing martial arts and practicing whistle–at least in terms of growth patterns. A certain percentage of folks give up right away when they find out it’s hard work. Then a certain percentage give up when they don’t master stuff right away. Then for those who make it through that first proverbial wall of fire, you make swift improvement for a while, and eventually plateau. Here, your improvement rate is so incremental and subtle that you can almost feel like you’re stuck and making no progress at all. I think I’m right about there…I know I’m just a little better every year…I only just notice it in retrospect. One of these days, I may even look back on my playing and have a measure of satisfaction ![]()
I think that happened at about 20 years into martial arts…so it looks like I have another 10 to go or so with whistlin ![]()

This is an excellent analogy! Another commonality is the realization as
a white belt that you don’t have to learn only from blackbelts, but from
any and all who are more experienced. A more pronounced growth in
wisdom occurs when an experienced person learns from a beginner.
It’s a really out-of-tune Eb made of brass.

Brass, $90? that’s my guess.
My guess:
Plastic whistle by Rick Hink (High Plains Whistler).
Sounds Like a rare Michael Whistle in the key of E Flatley. ![]()
I would say cane/wood whistle with wood block and going at around $15 all the way from India.

Ooo…nice one! And I have one of those too, that I have since tweaked. Ah…the miracles of sandpaper on wood. ![]()
Brass Feadog…possibly the red one.
I say it is a JudyK/TAIBHSE…and once you pick one up they are very hard to put down.
Peace,
Micheal
I have absolutely no idea being new to whistles…so I’m just going to fling out a guess and hope lol.
I guess it’s a homemade tin whistle since its so airy.
Its made out of a piece of wood for the fipple and some pvc water pipe.
Cost of this project is about $7to $8 dollars tops. Every homemade whistle sounds different … this one sounds like a D.
This is all a big guess since Im a greenhorn when it comes to whistles lol.
Good luck to all!! ![]()
Only one guess per person … phooey!
… brass Generation?
