Hi Dan,

No I haven't. The clarkes I have tried are the black and gold ones with the bit of wood at the back of the mouthpiece. I have heard the Sweetone described as great for kids because it's more bearable to listen to than the others...... and they do come in pretty colours.

I have a nice guinness whistle, very light, black body, creamy mouth piece.

I have nothing against low whistles, I think they have a beautiful sound. My main grievance is that they are just too big a stretch for my fingers. i can just about stretch a low G whistle, but I'll never be able to play a low D.... unfortunately.

Personally I like the tone of my Generations although I must admit I prefer the 'nickle" ones(silver body / blue mouthpiece) to the brass (yellow body / red mouthpiece.)

Slainte
