Do the two octaves have the same balance? What is the sound like? Is it brighter or louder or much the same. It would be probably best to clean your Sindt with brass polish inside and out, before doing this. I wonder whether anyone has access to both a Sindt and a Killarney D whistle, and would be prepared to post a comparative review? I would be interested to know their definition of the word design. Strangely, the website makes no mention of J Sindt, but claims that the design work was done by the two makers. The only difference I can see is that the barrel is chrome plated. Shows me something so very similar to what I play most days. It was brought to my attention, in a discussion on this group, that Killarney whistles are making a similar instrument. It seems that J Sindt is no longer making whistles.

Sindt whistles clearly have their fans on this group, and second hand ones have a good value. A whistle that was better in tune, had a stronger lower register, with the feel of playing a Generation for air pressure needed. It was pleasing to see them in the hands of players I admired such as Mary Bergin who previously had played Generations. I fact I let my friend choose the one he wanted to keep, as I felt there was no difference. I was impressed by the fact that the two impossible to tell apart by the sound. I bought this about 15 years ago, pairing with a friend to share the cost of postage and paying by money order.

Apart from a series of well worn Generation D whistles, the only other whistle I play regularly is my John Sindt D.
