Thread Name: Help: Susato D Whistle
Subject: Susato D Whistle
Hi,

I recently went to a pub in Oxford where I came across a lady playing a Susato Black High D Whistle. It sounded so nice that I decided I should get one. I went to the music shop in Oxford but could only find cream Dublin versions. I went to the Susato web-site and ordered a Black Dublin (Soprano) version but when it arrived it was much bigger (almost recorder size) than the whistle she had been playing and is very difficult to play (I normally play a Clarkes Sweetone). The whistle she had was thin and un-tuneable.

Can someone tell me where I can get one just like hers ? Are they no longer manufactured ?

I have seen tuneable ones of about the same size but she said that her un-tuneable one was better ! Is the tuneable my only option now ?
