A friend from Seattle told me you'd get dirty looks if you turn up with anything cheaper than a Burke over there. Snobbery indeed.

This clip is a nice one to watch.

In fairness, Sean Potts told me he was never able to find a Generation whistle as nice as the one he played in the early days of the Chieftains, which was stolen after a gig. He plays one now which was altered/customised to Sean's specification by Peter Hunter.
