I have no experience with Overton, nor have I heard anything negative about them. I just got a Copeland D in brass and it is wonderful--great tone, perfect intonation, nicely balanced in the hands, and a pleasure to play. I ordered online, without ever having played one, and I must tell you, the people there are very helpful. For cheaper whistles, I like the Susatos--I have a D, C, low G and low D, and I've had no problem buying those online either. I understand your reservations--especially for this kind of money. My experience with these two manufacturers has been excellent. fwiw, V
