Hello fellow whistlers,

I'm curious to hear your opinions on whistle brands. Which do you prefer?

I personally have 12 whistles, including Generations, Feadog, Walton, Shaw, Clarke and a wooden Sweet, but my unquestionable favorites are the $4.00 Clarke Sweetetones. Just the right mix of clear and breathy sounds.

I often take my Sweetones to the N. California coast and play. Amazingly, the whistle playing seems to attract seals. There are always one or two who come into the surfline to check me out while I play. No kidding! Are they annoyed or curious???

Thanks for your input! And if you ever see me whistling, playing guitar or bowing fiddle on the beach, come up and say "hi!"
