I like the Holly Wood (or olive) whistle here, at least for personal playing. It doesn’t sound too loud and the high note, there in the video, sounds sweet to my ears. And, if as you say, it takes less air, then it would be my choice. The larger bore whistles sound like they’d be better to play in a group or on stage (or playing jazz, even). Anyway, this is the best review(s) on wooden penny-whistles I’ve seen so far.
Thanks for the quick answer Roy. I found out on The Session that it's a tune called Leaving Friday Harbour and I'm now learning it, although I distinctly suspect I shall never play it as well as Phil does!!
mythicalireland Thank you. Now i have learned something today,and that's always good. Good luck with your learning,shouldn't take you too long. Its a pretty straight forward,but beautiful tune. Best Wishes.
Those whistles sound fantastic 😍
