just curious. heh heh. feel free to boast about how many you have. i myself own a very very modest collection of five (and i’m just getting started!). and do tell which your favourites are.
as the old saying goes,
one can’t have too many whistles 
LOL I have a whopping…
2 
More on the way though.
JessieK had a large collection but sold most of it. There was another thread about this subject awhile back. I am sure Dale has a decent collection as well since he said he has yet to sell any of his whistles:
How do you count a whistle set with one head and five bodies in different keys? 1 whistle? 5 whistles, 6 half whistles? Anyway, if I tell you how many I’ve got, I can’t sneak an extra one in without my fiancee knowing…
Owen
Right! Mine is…
…oh, you were asking who has the biggest whistle collection. Sorry, I stopped reading after ‘biggest’.
Well OK. I have, erm, 4. It will most likely grow larger soon though. My whistle collection that is.
Brigitte Goldie recently told me that Colin has quite a collection. She said he has over 40 different whistle brands…and that’s just brands, not actual whistles since he has more than one whistle of many brands. She said his collection totals 150+, not counting his Overtons.
Cripes…
I have:
2 high E’s
1 high Eb
10sih different high D’s
1 high C#
2 high C’s
2 B’s
3 Bb’s
1 A
1 Ab
1 low G
1 high G
1 low F
1 low E
1 low Eb
1 low C
1 5 keyed chromatic D (ex-old piccolo 
)
And scores of random whistles I’ve made in D and C primarily, with keys and all kinds of fipples.
As I said, cripes… and they’re starving for whistles in some parts of the world. 
4 Generations (2 D’s, C, F), but I gave the C away, made a new head for the F and fixed the D’s so they’d play OK.
3 D Feadog’s - two stock, one JF tweaked. The stock ones also got new homemade heads.
2 Dixon Trads (D’s) plus homemade C tubes for them
1 Hoover D which my oldest daughter has claimed and will not give back
1 DBSBT
1 Dion D (brass tube)
and
two dozen or so homemade heads on brass and/or CPVC tubes (mostly D’s, a few C’s, one high F).
Now I just have to find time to learn how to play them halfways respectably!
Do whistles-to-be count? I have a couple hundred pieces of wood waiting in the shop… 
Pancelticpiper what are the whistles in the top right of the photo with the angled heads?
I think I saw those somewhere before, but I can’t remember who, what and where, much less when.
Those angled ones are the Susato low D and low C.
I think they only make the low C with keys now. Lucky I got a keyless one. It plays great, very expressive.
The angled low D is great also, more comfortable to play than normal low D’s.
I have a few more since that photo was taken:
Burke low F
Susato low F#
Don’t remember what else…
But anyhow I have nearly all keys covered, low C, low D, low Eb, low E, low F, low F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, Eb…
What would be really nice would be to have Burkes in all keys. Currently Susatos suffice for keys I rarely use.
I currently have 29 Low whistles and one generation Bb.
I also have 27 Native American flutes, an Irish flute, a shakuhachi, a quena, an anasazi flute and a few other odd duck flutey thingys. I used to think that was impressive until I got on the Native American flute forum and started talking to people with over 160 Native American Flutes. 
Hey Pancelticpiper, if you ever decide to sell that Kerry Low D, just let me know 
.
It’s not the size that matters, but how you use it…
